I am afraid of driving. Being a driver, driving a car. I get neck cramps after around 20 minutes and it hurts, the steering wheel is just too sensitive so I always freak out "what if the electrical power steering malfunctions and the wheel goes haywire?" and I sweat profoundly. I tend not to think about "what ifs" but I still shit pants every time I get behind the wheel.

Good on ya. Keep on cycling!

Asuka likes riding.

Buy a wider cushioned seat and seat cover it helps.

Im skeleton sinky and I use fat people seats because the stock seats are so narrow they like press up into my ass uncomfortably. They sell them any where they sell bikes.

I even had a really fat friend who needed to get a stronger stem (the bar attaching the seat to the frame) made of steel because the aluminum ones would bend. That may help.

Good luck man

>>35919
You know what I think, get a beach cruiser and a hawiian shirt.
or, you know, they do make fat bikes and trikes

>>35933
How heavy you have to be to bend a stem? This is the first time I've ever heard such thing in my life. My guess is the aluminium was probably cracked or of really bad quality.

go to a camping store

I like Alps mountaineering stuff. Fairly cheap and my tent has lasted 5+ years of on and off camping/festivals.

I know. I am A Wizard.

I'm going to be doing my first thru hike early this coming summer, and I"m gonna post my gear I plan to bring. I've never done a long hike like this, but I've done a lot of hiking. I'm an intermediate when it comes to hiking in general and am ecstatic to make the leap to surviving out there on my own for extended amounts of time and really testing myself, my will, and the strength of my psyche on a long solo hike.

The first thru hike I'm planning to do is the Ozark Highlands Trail in Arkansas. It is about 180 miles. Some people have been able to do this in a week to 10 days, I imagine it might be closer to two weeks for me but I really have no clue. Like they say "hike your own hike" and listen to your body. I only know that I've managed to hike 10+ miles a day for a week straight at 7k-10k altitude, so I think I might be able to do 15 miles per day on this trail which is not as steep as the rockies and is lower altitude.

My goal will be 12 miles, but if I'm not able to sustain that I will not push myself too hard, or else I'm liable to overexert myself and end up with T-Rex knees and have to sit it out for a couple days. If I can do more than 12 miles, then that's great.

My gear that I intend to bring is going to be as light as possible and will have very few comfort items. I'm not gonna be like some people who bring a hatchet, a wood cutting ax, a machete, a big ass stove, etc, etc. My list so far is:

60 liter backpack.
One down blanket. I'm opting out of a sleeping bag because the one I have is heavy and it shouldn't be that cold. A quality down sleeping bag is not cheap.
One inflatable pillow or pool toy that I can blow up and use as a pillow. Some people don't even bring pillows but I feel like this is something that could be a huge comfort.
One pair of synthetic hiking pants. No jeans. Sticking to something waterproof and light.
One breathable athletic shirt.
One pair of athletic shorts.
One cotton more comfortable shirt.

I forgot to list my first aid kid which includes some alcohol swabs, bandages, athletic tape, gauze, neosporin, bug bite cream, nsaids, tums, instant cold compress, lip balm, etc.

>>35937
Shit also, my Merrell Hiking boots. A lot of people say use trail runners but I've found ankle support to be invaluable on the trail because when you're in the groove it is pretty easy to step on a rock and twist and ankle.

I hitched across europe like 4 times. Not exactly hiking but its hiking adjacent.

I seriously underestimated what gear to bring first time out

Things I should of had but didn't.

A better tent (not a one person boddy bag essentially)
Sleeping mat
Better shoes
Lighter and more compact gear. But it seems most "compression" gear is massivly more expensive.
bigger bag. ( chose a 50L bag, I should of chosen the 70L)

>>35603
No problem. Gonna keep checking to make sure I answer any questions.

>>35600
What is this? The electric motor?

>>35565
Hey I have the same kit. I'm very happy with it. You should order the programing cable and tune it. You can get a lot more range. I have an 11 mile commute and I haven't touched my car since I installed the motor.

How many watts per km?

Yeah these things are stupid, I mean what's the point since global warming isn't real and I work at a car dealership

Something small to help out the scooter is alright. I got a small hike from the train station to work and just looked into it and got a Boosted Board V1 Electric Skateboard. Maybe now I can get some skateboard gear? have some fun going to/from work. I got the board second hand, almost new condition for less than half the price new. The battery is only an hour change, 2000w motor, I have an incline one way. They say 10,000 charges and the battery is in 80% condition. The board is going to last. This is going to be cool..

>>35879 sorry just looked it up the battery lasts for about 2000 cycles. Does anyone know if that means a full charge cycle? or what about partial charges? Could you extend the battery life by charging it only from say, 30%-80%?

>>35882

A full cycle is every time you recharge your battery to full charge after using it. Charging batteries after using 10-20-30-100% etc. Will not prolong battery life.

Partial charges are not recommended.

Try getting a replacement for your battery pack before it claps out to avoid wasting time later. Also if you plan to make small electric vehicles a part of your life look into a Battery Balance Charger/Discharger, they're quite handy for revitalizing batteries and a must if you feel like making your own battery packs (via laptop battery prospecting also you'd need a battery spot welder).
