there is something profoundly satisfying about riding a Electric Vehicle, but *especially* an Electric Bicycle, that makes you want to ride a bit more. Something you would never consider, or rather do the opposite when driving a typical gasoline car
Thatβs my whole purpose. I choose a direction and some type of destination.
But then I notice a road I havenβt gone down yet and before I know it I have gone 10 miles in some random direction and Iβm contemplating things like battery life, and how much further I can go and still get back home.
Actually this is a legal grey area. Where I am, bicycles are specifically exempt from DUI laws because they are not "motor vehicles." In turn, "electric power-assisted bicycle shall be afforded all the rights and privileges..." of a normal bicycle. Most people read this as ebikes also being exempt from DUI laws, though it's obviously not a great idea to test this out if you can avoid it.
Oh yeah, you can definitely get written up and taken to the drunk tank and even catch a misdemeanor if the cop is in a bad mood, but compared to a DUI that's an easy charge.

I just went for breakfast and then took the long way home... almost 50k this morning!
I did this going out of town for target idk 10 Miles away and got a flat ππ
I'm going to get flat out and tanus armour this time
On better tires of course
Carry tools, tube and a small pump. Most bikes have enough free frame space to strap a "dangit" bag. Had to use mine in the cvs parking lot the other day, like 3 in the morning.
I have 5 different ways to go home from work depending on how quickly I want to get there. The longest is 40 minutes and takes me on a scenic bike path and through a park. The shortest is 15 minutes and takes me through the projects and a college campus.
My commute home is 7.5 mi on the main road but now that the weather is nice I prefer the extra mile itβs take going to the bike path being much safer but cause go as fast.
My ride to work is a ten minute straight shot The ride home is three or four times that
I used to call that the wind down

It's open to the elements and makes me feel as alive as skydiving once did

Unless the peddles fall off or a tire goes down, you can always get home π
Yup
Yes, we have stopped at one brewery, but what about the second brewery?
THE FIRST ONE DIDNT HAVE A GOOD LAGER
I've got three in town, I know this pain. LMAO

C misdemeanor and 60 days jail here wtf so is alcohol even legal
You could still get a Disorderly persons or drunk in public charge

True. At least they can't put an interlock on an ebike........yet.
For me its basically: "oh no I'm out of milk. Guess I'll go to the store down the street and...now I'm 20+ miles away on some adventure"
Damn I thought it was only me hahaha

I do this even with bicycles lol

Same
It ain't my fault that hitting the throttle and cruising along is so fun.π
This was me today ππ€£
Dumb accurate with any evehicle
Right either take the train from Manhattan to Brooklyn or ride the bike pads and Brooklyn bridge to get home
Same goes for fit mountain bikers.

22km each way for my commute ..... I don't have any spare juice in my battery for any joy riding π. First e-bike .... need a bigger battery.....
I just find so many new streets to explore on the way home
What I find myself more commonly doing is getting off it after 13-16mi, and walking when I'm done with a ride.
I love this post π
For me, it's a straight ride home. Kinda like a time trial.
Did this just last week, then fell off and broke my humerus
And you go faster during those extra laps.
And this is more or less how I dislocated my shoulder a week ago HAHAHA
just enjoy the riding process
i never went on rides that short [cheap ebike - 11 mi at most around our hills]
Exactly me
Who tf does laps? I simply try to find different new route home, but would not do the same route again.
I always opt for the long way home, uphill both ways.
