"How did you go bankrupt?" "Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly." – Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
It seems unlikely the old bull-loving, game-fishing Santa lookalike is at the top of the first minister's book pile but he could have written her manual on lockdown restrictions.
Gradually then suddenly has been a recurring theme as our governments on both sides of the border have rushed us in, eased us out and rushed us back in again. It is the most dismal hokey-cokey ever.
Remember not so very long in the dim and distant, just before Christmas, in fact, when we were told we could enjoy five golden days of bubble-bursting family reunion, whether we wanted to or not, and many of us did not.
Then, on the Saturday before, Nicola Sturgeon told us that, at the stroke of midnight on the 25th, Scotland would turn into a lockdown. And, she pondered, if she had learned one thing during these onerous months, it was to make the tough calls earlier. No dilly, no dally. Just do it.
And then she told us that we could still mix a bit at Christmas.
Did any of us watching, as we looked forward to the final of Strictly, not believe, at that precise moment, we were heading into lockdown in January? Did any of us understand why lockdown was not being imposed immediately? But Scotland only had 17 cases of the new variant, apparently, and was a week or so ahead of England. So, you know, do you want breast or leg?
In fairness to the First Minister, Scotland did shut down before facing the catastrophic surge suffered in England but comparing our shade of grey to theirs seems a little limited when, for example, more people were dying of Covid in UK hospitals every day last week than have died in Australia in the last 10 months.
And so, too, the Holyrood election campaign will gradually get under way but will anyone be surprised if it is suddenly acknowledged that asking Scots to cross their boxes in church halls and primary schools when a super-spreading virus is on the loose is not, after all, optimal?
Of course, our political parties will have their own fantasy election date. Labour and the Tories, who, according to the polls, face a terrible gubbing, might benefit from a later vote but they might not. And possibly even Nicola Sturgeon might not be terribly unhappy if she did not have to urgently deal with the consequences of a landslide victory and a party increasingly vocal in demanding another tilt at a referendum, pandemic or not, Boris Johnson's refusal or not. Or Alex Salmond, for that matter.
Of course, if the election has to be postponed, Ms Sturgeon will know there will, if it is possible, be even more riding on the effective, efficient vaccine rollout, a glimmer of light after a long, dark year.
Success will be gradual, one jag at a time, but the first minister will understand the perception of failure can be a lot more sudden than that.

In my current campaign one of the PCs—the most successful (i.e.- luckiest) of them all--has become the Earl of Liecester and, thanks to his brilliance (and luck) at Badon, was given the hand of King Arthur's sister Elaine, and also the holding of the formerly rebellious Kingdom of Garloth. His titles for it is Earl of Leicester and Earl of Garloth.
Here's a larger copy of the map that we are using, and also below some very brief notes about what is there. Since it is currently early in the campaign I've chosen to leave it largely undeveloped, save for a few castles.

Coquet River. Border between Alnwick and Morpeth districts.
Corbridge. Town south of the Wall, part of Nohaut.
Dere Steet. Old roman road that runs from Eburacum (Malahaut) to Edinburge (Lothian); the Garloth part is from Corbridge, in Nohaut, north to Jedburgh, in the Windesan district, and is part of the Royal Road (Via Regia) of Lothian.
Dolorous Garde (Bamburg). Haunted castle; Alnwick district.
DURHAM. CITY, castle, cathedral, abbey; part of Nohaut.
German Ocean (North Sea). The ocean to the east of Garloth.

Prepare to see more state VMAs weighing in on the role of low-cost shelter veterinary services.
This blog has raised the issue before about growing concern over the scale and scope of shelter veterinary clinics, with Alabama and South Carolina being two states considering restrictions. Add Idaho to the list as the Idaho Veterinary Medical Association (IVMA) seeks to restrict Idaho shelters and humane societies from serving commercial clients other than low-income pet owners.
Full-service commercial veterinary clinic serving any and all pet owners in community, ostensibly with a lower pricing model than private practitioners.
Congress, states do little to interfere with veterinary medicine.
This blogger has been quiet for the past month or so. Not for lack of work or interests, but to wait and see if state legislatures across the country or Congress signaled any appetite to challenge veterinarians or blaze new trails in animal welfare in 2014. After a decade of steady activity in the states, and a hint here or there in Congress, we've now witnessed the winds dying down and the seas calming.
Most state legislatures have wrapped up their work for 2014 (only 11 states currently remain in session), and not a single chamber took aim at veterinarians in a meaningful or threatening manner. Practice acts were not reconfigured, sales taxes on veterinary services were not imposed, professional judgment and autonomy were not undermined and political hands steered clear of the basic economics of veterinary practices.

Samuel H. Basil, dit Sam Basil, est un homme politique papou-néo-guinéen. Il est le vice-Premier ministre du pays au moment de sa mort le 11 mai 2022.

Biographie
Éduqué dans une école luthérienne, Sam Basil devient homme d'affaires dans le commerce de gros puis dans une entreprise de services de sécurité.

Parlement

Il entre au Parlement national comme député de Bulolo et sous les couleurs du Parti populaire pour le progrès aux élections de 2007, et siège sur les bancs de l'opposition. Membre de la commission parlementaire des comptes publics en 2009, il dénonce le refus de la quasi-totalité des agences gouvernementales de respecter les normes légales de transparence. En  il rejoint le Parti de la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée, le principal parti de l'opposition. En mai de cette même année il est élu vice-chef de l'opposition, sous Belden Namah.

Gouvernement

En , il est fait ministre de la Planification nationale dans le nouveau gouvernement de Peter O'Neill. Réélu député aux élections de 2012, il est à nouveau vice-chef de l'opposition parlementaire. Il organise un programme de développement du réseau électrique dans sa circonscription. La plupart ces députés de l'opposition rejoignent la majorité gouvernementale, au point qu'en  cette opposition parlementaire ne compte plus que quatre députés outre son chef (Belden Namah) et son vice-chef Sam Basil : Tobias Kulang, Allan Marat, Ross Seymour et Jim Kas. En , Sam Basil rejoint le Pangu Pati, toujours dans l'opposition, et en devient le chef. Il est décrit par la suite comme ayant ressuscité ce parti moribond.

Conservant son siège de député aux élections de 2017, il est nommé ministre des Communications, des Technologies de l'information et de l'Énergie par le Premier ministre Peter O'Neill. En  il est fait ministre des Finances, mais n'est maintenu qu'un mois à ce poste avant d'être transféré à celui de ministre de la Planification nationale. À cette occasion, il change une fois encore de parti et devient chef du Parti de l'alliance mélanésienne. Le mois d'après, en , il devient ministre du Trésor public dans le gouvernement du nouveau Premier ministre James Marape. En août, il est transféré à nouveau à la fonction de ministre de la Planification nationale. En novembre il crée un nouveau parti politique, le Parti travailliste unifié, associé au mouvement syndical du Congrès des syndicats de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée.

En , il est fait également vice-Premier ministre, tout en conservant son portefeuille ministériel à la Planification. En novembre, il quitte le gouvernement et rejoint l'opposition menée par Belden Namah, accusant le gouvernement d'une mauvaise gestion de l'économie du pays. Ayant échoué à contribuer à former une majorité parlementaire alternative, Sam Basil rejoint à nouveau la majorité gouvernementale en décembre, et retrouve son poste de vice-Premier ministre.

Mort

Sam Basil meurt le  lorsque sa voiture est heurtée par un autre véhicule sur la route reliant Lae et Bulolo. Un policier est également tué dans l'accident. Le ministre des Terres John Rosso est promu à sa succession comme vice-Premier ministre deux semaines plus tard.

EADIE LIFESTYLE X ASTRID HARRISSON
The powerful rhythm of Astrid Harrisson's work mimics an understanding for the relevance of the stories in today's society and through the combined use of digital photography and graphic illustration, Astrid creates photographic prints that are, more often than not, stylised, contemporary pieces of art. Astrid is a photographer who has been captivated by the story of the horse and has sought to explore the threads of history by meeting and documenting some of the world's rarest and most important breeds.
"My portraits are largely dynamic, realistic representations of animals – in particular, horses. I work intimately, taking the time to build a rapport with my subjects. In the wild this is less possible, but understanding that the animals I am photographing will be aware of my presence and fully assertive is in itself of relevance and a relationship that defines the final portrait I create. A portrait is, by definition, a collaboration between subject and artist and the resulting piece is a representation of sentience, of beauty, of power, of history. I want to give animals the opportunity to share their stories; to connect unknowingly with global audiences where the language of images provides no barrier and thus help to conserve and preserve the sentient souls of the animal kingdom."
When it came time to shoot our latest collection "Grace", Astrid's prints were the ideal pieces to decorate the walls. They represent all the qualities this new collection embodies - beauty, appreciation, freedom, humanity, confidence, curiosity and passion. Each of the four prints has harmoniously blended with our collection to create a sense of calm and elegance.
It brings us much joy to be able to share some of Astrid's incredible work with you. These four prints are available to purchase from astridharrisson.com.au
Prints are produced to order using archival pigment inks on Photo Rag (310gsm) and can be shipped globally from the UK or Australia.
Each print will be numbered and embossed with Astrid's logo and shipped carefully in a tube. For UK/Rest of World orders, prints will not be embossed but will be accompanied by a digitally signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Prices include taxes, packaging and shipping to Australia/NZ. For delivery elsewhere, shipping costs will be added at the time of purchase and fulfilled from the UK.
Prints are part of limited editions (large edition of 500, medium of 250 and small 500). The price does not include framing.
PROFILE LUSITANO - FINE ART PRINT
Shot on location in Portugal during the making of coffee table book "The Majesty of the Horse", this remarkable stallion Sena went on to represent the Lusitano breed in the book, written by Tamsin Pickeral and published by Harper Collins (UK).
This collaborative edition has been released to mark a decade since the release of Astrid's book and is launched in a collaboration exclusive to Eadie Lifestyle.
Large :: 110 x 82cm £550 (approximately AU$ 1000) :: edition of 100
Medium :: 61 x 44cm £250 (approximately AU$ 450) :: edition of 250
Small :: 41 x 29cm £150 (approximately AU$ 275) :: edition of 500
Dimensions include a 50mm white handling border.
MARWARI AT DAWN - FINE ART PRINT
Northern India at dawn brings chilly mornings and incredible hues. The mystical Marwari horse being trained at dawn is magical, spirited and will fill your heart with freedom and your soul with love.
On the actual day of this shoot, a pre-dawn start was essential. If you have ever visited North West India, you may have experienced the wonders of the morning light. Fresh, cold mornings and warm hot days of the desert can bring a tremendous morning mist and a vast palette of purple and pink hues. Having warmed ourselves with freshly brewed masala chai, we ventured out onto the farm to watch the horses being worked. This breed is light-footed, agile and spirited and, for me, this image of a Marwari horse circling and kicking up dust encapsulates both physical and spiritual attributes of this most glorious breed.
PROFILE APPALOOSA - FINE ART PRINT
This distinguished profile of an Appaloosa horse highlights the curvaceous accents of a young colt, his coat flecked with spots and quirky markings, bringing any interiors to life with its animalistic qualities and simple lines.
CAMARGUE IN THE MIST - FINE ART PRINT
The enchanting and mystical Camargue horses live in an area of marshland in the South of France, close to infamous Arles. Early on this misty morning, the first challenge of finding the horses was overcome fairly imminently. Adrenaline feeding the moment, a quiet excitement in the air undoubtedly mirroring in the horses' own spiritedness.
A true sense of soul of the somewhat hostile mosquito-ridden expanse enveloped the cobweb-ridden heather with low-lying mist. The image is from a small series that captures the horses' flighty spirits as Astrid's presence blended into the scene and true herd behaviour came into play.
Since Astrid's photographic career began in 2005 when working on a shipwreck salvage in Mozambique, Astrid has worked with Nikon gear. All her images were shot with Nikon cameras and lenses, including D4s, D700 and D800 bodies with 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8 and 105mm f2.8 Macro lenses.
Astrid uses a variety of different print solutions and carefully selects the finest paper and print type combination to suit each image. All materials are of professional, archival quality and Astrid works closely with suppliers in the UK and USA to produce her work to utmost standards.
Pigment ink prints are produced on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag, German Etching or Canson Baryta papers. Some prints are produced as silver based digital C-type prints. These are real photographic prints, created on light sensitive paper using a finely balanced red, green and blue light source. This creates an analogue style print from a digital file with unparalleled tones.
Astrid releases her work in small editions which are produced to order, usually in two sizes. These editions are hand-signed and dated on the front by Astrid and hand-signed, dated and numbered on a label on verso.

Monster Hunter World is supposedly 40-50 hours long, with much more grinding to do afterward
The game's director confirms
I was sufficiently impressed by the Monster Hunter World beta, and I'm looking forward to playing a Monster Hunter experience that isn't some sequel, spinoff, or new "EX" iteration again. It'll be a lengthy romp too, as game director Yuya Tokuda informed Mein-MMO that Worldwill sport a campaign that's roughly 40 to 50 hours long.
Tokuda explains that the real length will "depend on the player," but there will still be a huge post-game to partake in, as well as weekly event quests and free updates, which have already been confirmed.
Monster Hunter World will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on January 26, 2018. A PC release is set to follow but does not even have a window at this time. My ideal window is "whenever Capcom can get it right."

Crystal Lake Park – Mansfield, NJ
by southjerseytrailsMarch 1, 2015
Yellow Trail and Forest Edge Trail – Crystal Lake County Park– Mansfield, Burlington County, NJ
Distance: 8.5 total miles of trails, we did 3 1/2 miles
Type: Web of trails
Difficulty: 4 of 10 – lots of ups and downs, would be VERY slippery when there is rain or ice.
Updated – March 14, 2017
Official website –Crystal Lake Park @ Burlington County Parks
Map – Park Map.
Terrain – farm fields, woods, a gully, and a lake
Trailheads – 40° 6'58.71″N, 74°44'23.79″W at edge of parking lot (connector to yellow trail).
There is also one at 40° 6'50.43″N, 74°44'17.47″W along the entrance road for the Blue Trail.
Directions – 2401 Axe Factory Rd, Mansfield, NJ 08505. The turn for the park is labeled, but is a small dirt road that is gated when the park is closed. It doesn't look like the correct turn, but I assure you that it is. Just keep driving and you'll quickly hit the parking lot.
Parking: Dirt lot at the end of the driveway.
Markings – Painted blazes
Description: SNOWY!
Haha, I'm sure this is not always the case, but on a chilly Saturday, myself and five companions and two babies set across the icy, yet muddy terrain to find Crystal Lake. We were warned by the local crazy Ralph, "There's a death curse!", but being overconfident teenagers all, we went onward.
We opted for a more direct route along the Yellow trail, which starts through the farm fields next to the parking lot, takes a slight right, then an immediate left to enter the woods.
No swimming. Skunk doesn't listen well.
Down a road/trail that is obviously used by tractors. This part was tricky because of the alternating ice and mud. We lost our first companion here.
After the first turn.
Hang a left into the woods to stay on the Yellow Trail. Going straight will put you on the Edge of the Woods Trail, which is really just a farm road. We would come back that way later.
Being overconfident teenagers, the loss of our first companion was laughed off. And we confidently headed onward into the woods section of the trail. It curved a bit before narrowing down to a true trail.
The trail narrows from a road to a true trail. The snow made it magical. That's when we lost our second companion.
The woods were very pretty in the snow.
At the loss of our second companion, and continuing to be over confident teenagers, we decided the best idea would be to split into groups. Two girls and a baby headed back. Two guys and an infant pressed onward. When folks mysteriously disappear at Crystal Lake, it's always best to split into groups. Always. The girls and baby were never seen again, more victims of Crystal Lake.
The trail drops into a ravine, which was interesting navigating in the snow. Here is the first tricky part, as the track you are on becomes an unblazed path, while the yellow trail turns right. Always keep an eye on the blazes! It wound around some low parts, meandered across a bridge, and came to a "T" intersection. The Red Trail goes left, but we opted right to stay on the Yellow Trail. We'll definitely be back to check out the other direction at some point.
Looking back at the way we came down into the ravine. It's not ridiculously steep, but it would be tricky when wet or snowy.
First tricky part. Yellow Trail turns left here, but it's not following the main pathway here anymore. This is just at the bottom of the ravine.
First bridge. We'll cross that one.
Coming up to the t-intersection. You can see the bridge for the Red Trail from here.
Turning right, you climb to to the top of a bluff. The Yellow Trail dead ends straight ahead at the Edge of Woods Trail. We opted for a left, following the Red Trail to the intersection with the Blue Trail. Here, we found what we were looking for – the killer is the old school nurse Mrs. Voorhees!
Wait, no. We figured out this is NOT that Crystal Lake and that no one who has disappeared had been serial murdered, but had all instead intelligently turned back while Skunk, The Pres, and I pushed forward through the snowy woods. Whew!
Almost to our goal!
Turning left onto the Red Trail.
At the intersection of the Blue and Red Trails, we found the lake! This is one of several marked overlooks, we'll have to come back and check out some other ones on a less snowy day.
We decided to go back without taking on the ravine again. We backtracked to the intersection with the Yellow Trail, took a left, and within seconds found the intersection with the Edge of the Woods Trail. We took a right onto this and followed it all the way back to the parking lot.
Transition between edge of the woods and the woods.
Also, everyone was waiting back at the cars. Hooray!
"Daddy, you so crazy" says Tree Rider.
Nearby: This is less than 10 minutes from downtown Bordentown, which is chock full of history (home to America's first spy, Revolutionary propagandist Thomas Paine of "these are the times that try mens' souls" fame, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and, of course, a the deposed former king of Spain and brother to Napoleon, Joseph Bonaparte) and nice shops.
If you see these hoodlums coming though, get out of the way. They're looking for cupcakes.
The lake, the hills, the birds, the meadows
My legs felt this one afterwards.
this is a beautiful park with some serious up and down (for South Jersey), nice lake views, tons of birds, flowers, and brand new facilities... what's not to love?

I just went to Crystal Lake for the first time a couple weeks ago. (in Sept). I didn't like the fields. I liked walking thru the woods though. Some steep spots, but ok for someone like me who isn't really in shape.

This park has had a lot of work done in the last year. There is now an entrance and parking on Route 130, and all the bridges have been rebuilt. I like it best in spring when the wildflowers are wonderful: spring beauty, jack in the pulpit, bloodroot, mayapple, trout lily, wood anemone, Dutchman's breeches, and more. I have also seen a pileated woodpecker there.

It's March again!


As part of the March 18 open house in Oshawa, Trent University unveiled a sign at its new Oshawa Thornton Road campus and announced a generous $1.2 million bequest that will provide direct financial support to students.
The open house event attracted over 100 people, including prospective students and their families, to Trent's current location at the UOIT/Durham College campus. Students were personally greeted by his worship John Gray, Mayor of the City of Oshawa and Trent's President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Steven E. Franklin.
At the open house students participated in sample lectures, toured the existing facility, engaged in one-on-one discussions with faculty and liaison staff, and learned more about Trent's plans for a new campus in Oshawa.
As part of the day's events, Trent announced that students will now benefit from a generous $1.2 million bequest from Fern Rahmel, a leader in education, the arts and culture in the City of Peterborough, Ontario who passed away in late November 2009. The third largest bequest in the history of Trent, the gift will focus on the University's campuses in both Peterborough and Oshawa, leaving a remarkable legacy in support of women pursuing higher education.
When matched by the Ontario Trust for Student Support, the total endowment will equal $2.4 million. Over and above the $1.2 million gift, a separate and specific gift of $5,000 was also directed by Ms. Rahmel to the Bata Library.
At Trent University in Oshawa, $1 million will be endowed in perpetuity, and will generate approximately $40,000 annually. According to the wishes of Ms. Rahmel, the funds will be used for bursaries for female students over the age of twenty-five who have demonstrated financial need as they work toward earning a Trent degree.
An additional $1 million will be endowed, and the income made available to third- and fourth-year students of proven academic ability who have demonstrated financial need, studying at either the Peterborough or Oshawa campuses. An additional endowment of $200,000 will also be created for graduate students who meet similar criteria. It is expected that $100,000 in new funds for bursaries will be available annually as a result of this extraordinary gift.
The sign unveiling marked a historic milestone in Trent's 35 year presence in the Oshawa community. The media event was attended by the Mayor, Council members from the City of Oshawa, members of Trent's board of governors, and alumni, students, faculty and staff from Trent in Oshawa.
In January, Trent University announced a new, compelling vision to transform an existing facility on Thornton Road South into a new campus for the delivery of its programs for over 1,300 full-time and part-time students in Oshawa and the Durham Region.
The strategy for a new Trent presence in Oshawa will result in more students gaining access to a postsecondary education and the delivery of a growing range of degree programs.
A fast-tracked construction plan will ensure the new $11.5 million facility for students and faculty is ready for the next academic year. The new campus will provide capacity for the introduction of new academic programs and allow for projected enrolment growth.
Students, too, have expressed their enthusiasm for a distinct Trent University presence in Oshawa. "The new campus has many benefits; it's close to amenities and easily accessible," said Lindsay Timmins, a fourth-year English Literature student and a peer mentoring coordinator at Trent's current Oshawa location. "Trent in Oshawa can now have its own identity, autonomy, and stability. I have encountered amazingly supportive staff, faculty and students and now they will have a campus unique to their needs. It is an exciting time for this campus."

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Using a smoke bomb and a handgun, a hooded gunman dressed all in black opened fire during "college night" at a country music bar in Southern California, killing 12 people and sending hundreds fleeing in terror, authorities said Thursday. The gunman then apparently killed himself.
Patrons at the bar screamed in fear, shouted "Get down!" and used barstools to smash second-floor windows and jump to safety as gunfire erupted at the Borderline Bar & Grill, a hangout popular with students from nearby California Lutheran University. The dead included 11 people inside the bar and a sheriff's sergeant who was the first officer inside the door, the sheriff said.
Shootings of any kind are extremely rare in Thousand Oaks, a city of about 130,000 people about 40 miles west of Los Angeles, just across the county line.
The Borderline, which includes a large dance hall along with several smaller areas for eating and drinking, was holding its regular "College Country Nights" Wednesday night when the attack took place.
Cole Knapp, a freshman at Moorpark College, said he was inside the bar when the shooting began, but he thought at first that it was "just someone with an M-80, just kind of playing a prank." Then he said he saw the gunman, wearing a small black head covering and black hoodie and holding a handgun.
The slain sheriff's officer was a 29-year veteran of the force with a wife and son and planned to retire in the coming year, said the sheriff, who choked back tears as he talked about the sergeant who was also his longtime friend.


On Sunday 21 January the new year will be celebrated by ARA with a New Year's drink. The drinks will be combined this year with a studio visit to the restoration workshop of Jos van Extel, in Schijndel.
About Jos van Extel: Working from 1972, first employed by Kunsthandel BORZO in Den Bosch, where he also received his education from the father to son principle, this was until September 1988. From that moment he started at Boselie Encadreurs Restaurateurs and had the restoration workshop started, this was until March 2002.
On 1 April 2002 he started as an independent restorer with "Jos van Extel restoration workshop" in Schijndel.
Together with the ARA board, Jos van Extel will gladly receive you for a snack and a drink and a fun and educational visit.
The drink starts at 13:00 and continues until 17:00.
We hope to receive you the 21st in Schijndel!
Paolo Cremonesi, the most prominent adherent of the methods of Richard Wolbers, has taken up the fight against the harmful products being used almost on a daily base in restorative practice. While the use of less or no solvents is foremost in his concern, Cremonesi turns his attention to other substances too. Working with great conviction, Cremonesi extended the knowledge and usability of Wolbers' micro- and macro emulsions, making it possible to construe them now using products that are marketed in Europe and conforming to Europe's standards. Thus Cremonesi increased both diligent care for the object and worker safety in restoration.
The primary aims of the new methods remain the same as those of traditional practice: to remove an unwanted substance from a surface. This can be restricted to the sole removal of surface dirt, but could include the partial or complete taking off of varnish layer, old retouching or overpaint. These are different tasks demanding different approaches, tailormade materials and techniques.
The pinnacle of success remains working on a surface without harming the original.
Central in the methods developed by Cremonesi is the use of watery solutions containing alcohols, silicones, surfactants and chelators, all in levels of acidity appropriate to the work at hand. If a surface is especially hydrophilic and some of the more fundamental watery solutions used on less vulnerable objects could prove injurious, these methods can be adjusted accordingly.
After years of research, the workshop "Emulsions for Surface Cleaning and Removal of Film-Forming Materials" is presented for the first time outside of Italy. Paolo Cremonesi has chosen the Netherlands as a podium for a new series of workshops, specifically dealing with the cleaning of paintings using emulsions. Five days filled with both theory and practice, taking head on the three main questions in cleaning: partial removal or complete, and what to do when the surface is vulnerable to water?
The European Society Light & Glass will hold its annual assembly in film theatre Lumière, Bogaardenstraat 40B in Maastricht from 20 to 23 August 2015. Through the course of the assembly, art historians, restorers and specialists in the field of light objects will hold several lectures. One of the lectures will be given by Martijn Akkerman, jewellery expert on "Tussen Kunst en Kitsch" (Dutch equivalent of the Antiques Roadshow).
The Light and Glass society was founded in May 2000 in Kamenický Šenov (Steinschönau), the old centre of the Austro-Bohemian glass and chandelier production in North Bohemia. The objective of Light and Glass is to take a closer look at and study rare and art historically interesting light objects such as chandeliers and "girandoles en appliques", which have often been neglected over time, perform responsible restorations and provide proper documentation.
Light and Glass offers a platform for art historians, restorers and specialists, dealers and collectors to share their studies and findings by way of publications, lectures and expositions. Contemporary artists, architects and a designer platform will also be involved in the events of Light and Glass.
Pascal Mestrom has been asked this year to host and organize the Maastricht edition of the annual assembly (free entrance!). The programme will be published on the website of Light and Glass and Mestrom Chandeliers.
The eminent restorer and scientist Richard Wolbers will in December 2015 present a series of two three day workshops in Hilversum explaining his methods of surface cleaning. The workshop can be of interest for restorers of many disciplines and deals with the restoration of textiles, paper, wooden objects and paintings alike.
In the mid-1980s, Richard Wolbers at the University of Delaware introduced solvent-based gels, resin soaps, and enzymes as alternative cleaning systems. For effective use of these systems, a basic understanding of the chemistry of all the layers is even more crucial than it is for solvent or alkaline-based cleaning solutions. These cleaning systems offer three important benefits: 1) they enable the cleaning of surfaces that could not be cleaned by traditional solvent or mechanical methods; 2) they enable a more controlled and selective cleaning than these methods; and 3) they have relatively low toxicity.
The "Wolbers Workshop," as it has come to be known, has been presented many times in many countries since then; these cleaning systems are now widely used by conservators worldwide. The popularity of the workshops indicates the importance of surface cleaning in conservation treatments.
Richard Wolbers considers it a challenge to illuminate his methods during these workshops in a way nonscientists can understand and as accessible as possible. During the morning sessions some theory will be explained and after lunch practice will be encountered in the form of objects brought in by participants. A reader will be provided and the spoken language is (of course) English.
Enlistment is closed. Unfortunately not all applications can participate in december. We are in negotiation about prolongation of the workshops in 2016. But Richard Wolbers allready is nearly booked full for 2016. The first opportinaty then will be beginning of 2017. All enlisted will hear from us soon.

The Super Commuter is very aptly named. The 350w Bosch motor will help you sustain speeds of up to 28mph, and the burly, 2.4-inch wide, Schwalbe Super Moto-X 650b tires will keep you secure on even the roughest city streets, and Shimano Deore hydraulic brakes provide ample stopping power. Fenders provide welcome protection from road spray so you arrive at your destination fresh, integrated lights are critical for post-sunset riding, and a side-view mirror hanging on the left side of the handlebar gives a great view of traffic around you. After all, you can ride at the speed of urban traffic on the Super Commuter.
Indian law requires that all electric vehicles have ARAI[50] approval. Vehicles with below 250W and speed less than 30 km/h, do not require certification- hence not following full testing process, but needs to get exemption report from ARAI. Whereas more powerful vehicles need to go through a full testing process following CMVR rules. This can take time and cost money but assures safe and reliable design for Electric Vehicles. These regulations are not promulgated by the Regional Transport offices, and riders are not required to obtain a licence to drive, to carry insurance, or to wear a helmet.
The Pivot Shuttle breaks the mold when it comes to e-mountain bikes. This ballsy, carbon-frame bike, with Shimano Di2, has 140mm of rear travel, 150mm up front, and a 150mm dropper post. A Shimano STePS e8000 drive unit, paired with a 500Wh battery, provides 20 mph of pedal assist, so you can skip the lift line when you hit the bike park and zip right to the good stuff. The 27.5-inch wheels are nimble and eat up nearly anything in their path, and the massive 2.8-inch tires have huge knobs that grip the trail like Velcro.
The "Dandy horse", also called Draisienne or Laufmaschine, was the first human means of transport to use only two wheels in tandem and was invented by the German Baron Karl von Drais. It is regarded as the modern bicycle's forerunner; Drais introduced it to the public in Mannheim in summer 1817 and in Paris in 1818.[18][19] Its rider sat astride a wooden frame supported by two in-line wheels and pushed the vehicle along with his or her feet while steering the front wheel.[18]
The great majority of modern bicycles have a frame with upright seating that looks much like the first chain-driven bike.[7][8][9] These upright bicycles almost always feature the diamond frame, a truss consisting of two triangles: the front triangle and the rear triangle. The front triangle consists of the head tube, top tube, down tube, and seat tube. The head tube contains the headset, the set of bearings that allows the fork to turn smoothly for steering and balance. The top tube connects the head tube to the seat tube at the top, and the down tube connects the head tube to the bottom bracket. The rear triangle consists of the seat tube and paired chain stays and seat stays. The chain stays run parallel to the chain, connecting the bottom bracket to the rear dropout, where the axle for the rear wheel is held. The seat stays connect the top of the seat tube (at or near the same point as the top tube) to the rear fork ends.
Are you looking for an easier way to get to your blind or tree stand? Or perhaps check all your trail cams in a fraction of the time it takes today? Is that sweet spot you know getting harder to reach? When you have to carry 50lbs of gear on your back for 5 or even 10 miles and if you're lucky you have something to haul back out, using an electric bike built specifically for offroad and woodlands that is also capable of carrying your gear, wouldn't that make the experience a whole lot more enjoyable? Electric hunting bikes...
European Union directive 2002/24/EC exempts vehicles with the following definition from type approval: "Cycles with pedal assistance which are equipped with an auxiliary electric motor having a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kW, of which the output is progressively reduced and finally cut off as the vehicle reaches a speed of 25km/h (15.5mph) or if the cyclist stops pedaling." This is the de facto definition of an electrically assisted pedal cycle in the EU. As with all EU directives, individual member countries of the EU are left to implement the requirements in national legislation.
Legislative changes in 2012 significantly altered the classification and regulatory structure for e-bikes. The general effect was to establish electric-assisted bicycles as a subset of bicycles and regulate e-bikes in roughly the same manner as bicycles instead of other motorized devices with two (or three) wheels. Laws 2012, ch. 287, art. 3, §§ 15-17, 21, 23-26, 30, 32-33, and 41. The 2012 Legislature also modified and clarified regulation of e-bikes on bike paths and trails. Laws 2012, ch. 287, art. 4, §§ 1-4, 20.
This is an unofficial guide to the laws governing electric bicycles in the United States as of 2016. It was contributed by a guest writer The Smart Ped`aleck who was paid and remains unaffiliated with any electric bicycle company. It may be updated ongoing and is cited throughout with reference links and attributions at the end. It is designed to be an entertaining starting point for understanding the space, digging deeper and in turn choosing the best electric bike platform for your needs.
My homeowners (State Farm) covers bikes , but assumes $500 per bike. They will add the bikes as personal property, but the premium is excessive (about $300/year per bike, and we have four bikes). I did increase our personal umbrella liability coverage, and it covers us if family members any sort of accident on our e-bikes that injures us or others or others' property, though only covers $500 each for our own bikes (under the homeowners coverage). It was not very expensive to increase the umbrella policy (as it resulted also in a reduced rate on our car insurance).
I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this electric bike. I find that the twist grip throtle works better for me than the peddle assist low, medium and high settings. It is not necessary to change out of high gear to climb most hills while peddling with the throttle also providing power. The shocks work well on dirt paths and the seat is comfortable. This bike goes maximum speed up to 19 mph on flat ground. I have
An e-bike is identified as a "motor assisted cycle" (MAC) in British Columbia, which differs from electric mopeds and scooters, which are "limited-speed motorcycles." Motor assisted cycles must: have an electric motor of no more than 500 W; have fully operable pedals; not be capable of propelling the device at a speed greater than 32 km/hr [19.9 mph]. The engine must disengage when (a) the operator stops pedaling, (b) an accelerator controller is released, OR (c) a brake is applied. A driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance are all not required. A bike helmet must be worn.[22]
The Freedom's motor is more powerful than the VanMoof Electrified S — 350w vs 250w — but the VanMoof is technologically superior, with touch-sensitive display, enhanced security system, and an "invisible" lock built right into the rear hub. The Dutch-made bikes are also more expensive: VanMoof's Electrified X2 and S2 list for a discounted $2,598, while Wing's e-bikes are available now for an "early bird" price of $1,295; if you order later, it'll cost $1,695 — which is still almost $900 less than the VanMoof.
The legal definition/description of an electric bicycle is most closely described in the code as a "motorized scooter" in that it is powered by an electric motor and/or human power [45]. It may be also be described as a "Motorized bicycle". However, that description does not include electric powered motor specifically. And it appears that the legal definition "Motorized Bicycle" and "Motorized Scooter" are in conflict. Motorized bicycle is a pedal bicycle which has a helper motor, or a non-pedal bicycle which has a motor, with a cylinder capacity not exceeding fifty cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and which is capable of a maximum speed of no more than thirty miles per hour. A motorized bicycle shall not be operated upon any way, as defined in section one within the commonwealth by any person under sixteen years of age, nor at a speed in excess of twenty-five miles per hour. A motorized bicycle shall not be operated on any way by any person not possessing a valid driver's license or learner's permit. Every person operating a motorized bicycle upon a way shall have the right to use all public ways in the commonwealth except limited access or express state highways where signs specifically prohibiting bicycles have been posted, and shall be subject to the traffic laws and regulations of the commonwealth and the regulations contained in this section, except that the motorized bicycle operator may keep to the right when passing a motor vehicle which is moving in the travel lane of the way, and the motorized bicycle operator shall signal by either hand his intention to stop or turn. Motorized bicycles may be operated on bicycle lanes adjacent to the various ways, but shall be excluded from off-street recreational bicycle paths. Every person operating a motorized bicycle or riding as a passenger on a motorized bicycle shall wear protective headgear conforming with such minimum standards of construction and performance as the registrar may prescribe, and no person operating a motorized bicycle shall permit any other person to ride a passenger on such motorized bicycle unless such passenger is wearing such protective headgear.
Would an e-bike that used a trailing generator to power the electric motor still be considered an e-bike? The purpose of the generator is allow greater distances to be traveled and all day riding. The gen-set that I am looking at uses a 49 cc gas engine with a 12 volt generator, this would be from the ground up build using a 1 hp electric motor. This seems to stay within the state laws of AZ. where I reside. Thanks for your thoughts.
Bicycles are popular targets for theft, due to their value and ease of resale.[113] The number of bicycles stolen annually is difficult to quantify as a large number of crimes are not reported.[114] Around 50% of the participants in the Montreal International Journal of Sustainable Transportation survey were subjected to a bicycle theft in their lifetime as active cyclists.[115] Most bicycles have serial numbers that can be recorded to verify identity in case of theft.[116]
No person may drive either a two-wheeled or a three-wheeled motorcycle, or a motor-driven cycle unless such person has a valid driver's license specially endorsed by the director to enable the holder to drive such vehicles. No driver's license is required for operation of an electric-assisted bicycle if the operator is at least sixteen years of age. Persons under sixteen years of age may not operate an electric-assisted bicycle. Persons operating electric-assisted bicycles shall comply with all laws and regulations related to the use of bicycle helmets. Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may have access to highways of the state to the same extent as bicycles. Electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters may be operated on a multipurpose trail or bicycle lane, but local jurisdictions may restrict or otherwise limit the access of electric-assisted bicycles and motorized foot scooters, and state agencies may regulate the use of motorized foot scooters on facilities and properties under their jurisdiction and control.
The other shout-out goes to Paul Bogaert who decided to close the Bike Doctor after 27 years and instead cycle tour the world with his wife. Paul had an early role in Vancouver bicycle advocacy and at bringing cycle riding to a less elitist/athletic and more everyday commuter crowd through their shop. They were among the early shops to embrace family friendly cargo bikes and appreciated the role that electric would play in making cycling more broadly appealing.
In my research about ebikes and the law, I cannot begin to justify how often articles about the laws evolved into the various ways and techniques to sneak around public notice and be stealth with the your ebike. The goal is to ride fast and fun, stay away from public awareness, and 'Fly under the Radar'. I have been there and I get the drift. Sales and production are up. Electric bike kits, DIY enthusiast, long distance commuters, and a general drive for value is raising the desire for more options for consumers, wanting speed for fun and function, while developing amnesia for the law. People want to ride their new ebikes, and have the same access to safe pathways as they did the week before on their 100% human bike. Rather than deal with the inevitable conflicts over access, behavior and perception within the general public, the typical user will try to blend in with the normal cycling community.
It's no coincidence that nations with excellent biking infrastructure also have lower rates of obesity and heart disease than nations that do not. The United States, for example, has some small pockets of bike-friendly spaces, usually confined to parts of cities that have been slightly remapped to provide safer, more efficient routes for bicyclists. There's even been legislation in some cities to regulate how drivers must respect bikers when they encounter them on a shared road.
State law defines a motorized pedalcycle as a motor-driven cycle equipped with operable pedals, a motor rated at no more than 1.5 brake horsepower, a cylinder capacity not exceeding 50 cubic centimeters, an automatic transmission, and a maximum design speed of no more than 25 miles per hour.[126] Subchapter J of Publication 45 spells out the vehicle requirements in full.
Having spent some quality time with Wing's e-bike, I understand why so many people are excited about the growing popularity of electric-powered vehicles like bikes and scooters. They take a lot of the work out of getting from point A to point B, while retaining all of the joy. They can give you more confidence when navigating a treacherous city terrain that prioritizes cars over people. And let's face it: bikes are cool, and always will be.
Bicycles can be categorized in many different ways: by function, by number of riders, by general construction, by gearing or by means of propulsion. The more common types include utility bicycles, mountain bicycles, racing bicycles, touring bicycles, hybrid bicycles, cruiser bicycles, and BMX bikes. Less common are tandems, low riders, tall bikes, fixed gear, folding models, amphibious bicycles, cargo bikes, recumbents and electric bicycles.
"Electric power-assisted bicycle" means a vehicle that travels on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and is equipped with (i) pedals that allow propulsion by human power and (ii) an electric motor with an input of no more than 1,000 watts that reduces the pedal effort required of the rider. For the purposes of Chapter 8 of this title, an electric power-assisted bicycle shall be a vehicle when operated on a highway.[65]
An electric bike (also called e-bike, power-assist bike, pedelec…) is a fairly conventional bike combined with a battery and motor that helps out when you are pedaling to make it easier to get uphill or completely takes over driving and allows you to cruise along. Top quality electric bikes, along with electric scooters, are revolutionizing the bicycle industry. Not only is riding an e-bike simple and easy, but a rider can significantly extend their range with minimal cost or effort.
This thing is also kitted out with a full SRAM groupset, RockShox Yari RC front shocks, Custom Fox Float suspension at the rear and enormously punchy SRAM disc brakes at the front and rear. Fundamentally, it's a mighty off-road machine with pro-spec kit that introduces a new style of trail riding, allowing adrenaline junkies to ride further, climb harder and descend faster than ever before.

Hub motors are sold as either geared or direct drive: Geared hubs are preferred for hill climbing ability and zero drag when coasting, while DD hubs are more durable and suitable for high speed. Extreme hill climbing and high torque applications (fatbikes, hauling cargo, popping wheelies) usually requires a mid drive, which is covered in the motor section below. Ebike battery packs from the listed suppliers are generally compatible with kits from any supplier, at worst you may need a different connector, which can be easily replaced. You probably want a battery pack that is 36, 48, or 52 volts, depending on whether you prefer lower price and longer range or a higher topspeed. DIY lipo battery packs can be built cheaply but doing so can be a fire hazard so actual packs are recommended. All hub motors above 24 V should be installed with torque arms for safety.
There are generally two types of e-bike: throttle and pedal-assist. Throttle e-bikes, common among food delivery workers, don't require any pedaling, just a twist of the handlebar to get moving. Wing's e-bike is pedal-assist. The bike's battery provides a boost while you pedal — up to 20 mph — but if you stop pedaling, the bike slows just like a regular bike.
As long as you can do without some of the perks that pricier models offer—like a detailed display unit, integrated lights, and a torque-sensor motor—the August Live! LS is a solid, stable, comfortable, and really freakin' cute (have you see those polka-dot fenders?) e-bike. Its 8-speed twist shifter, chopper-style handlebar, Touch Down Geometry (for a more laid-back ride), and three levels of assist keep this bike within the realm of "cruiser." But with a 250-watt Bafang rear-hub motor, a top pedal-assisted speed of 20 mph, and reliable disc brakes, the August is no joke. It'll get you to the top of relatively steep climbs without forcing you out of the saddle, and it feels super stable on the way back down. It has a battery range of 20 miles, but that's enough to take it where it's happiest: tootling along at the beach, around town, and through the park.
An anti-theft radio GPS that mounts to standard bottle cage bosses and can locate within 9 feet, it runs on the Verizon network and costs $5/mo in addition to the hardware. Integrated vibration sensing alarm sends an automated text message alerting you anytime the bike has been "locked" using the companion smartphone application (Android or iOS)...
Power-assist: Also known as pedal-assist bikes, these are the bicycle equivalents of hybrid cars: they're designed to be pedaled quite a lot of the time and electrically powered either when you're tired or when you feel like a bit of electric help (when you're going up hill, for example). Unlike full-power bikes, they don't have hub motors; instead, there's a separate electric motor mounted near the rear wheel and driving it either through the gear sprocket or simply by pressing against the rear tire. Where a hub motor is difficult or impossible to pedal without any power (because you're effectively turning it into a generator), power-assist motors turn easily with little or no resistance when you pedal. That gives power-assist bikes much greater range than hub-motor ones (as much as 80–145km or 50–90 miles).
One of the most important categories of ebikes is the low-cost, entry-level sector. What I call the eBigBox models. Obviously, not everyone can't afford a $7500 Riese and Muller and frankly a lot of people are skeptical on how much they will use and enjoy an ebike. So even if they can afford a few thousand dollars for an ebike, they might not want to put it all down on a category they aren't sure about.
The pedals on a motorised bicycle must be the primary source of power for the vehicle. If the motor is the primary source of power then the device cannot be classed as a motorised bicycle. For example, a device where the rider can twist a throttle and complete a journey using motor power only without using the pedals, would not be classed as a motorised bicycle.
Most consumers want an e-bike that will accommodate its motor without being too cumbersome and will remain stable in spite of its electronic components. Some consumers want only the most basic of e-bike features, including lights, a cargo rack/basket, and a water bottle holder. Others are focused more heavily on safety features, such as brake type. And still others are concerned with convenience and portability.
As long as the electric bicycle meets three criteria it is considered a low-speed electric bicycle, or simply a "bicycle." Three criteria: must travel less than 20 mph on flat ground without pedaling, must have functional pedals and must have less than a 750 watt motor. This is the same criteria as Federal Public Law 107-319. I checked my facts with the law office of Spohn, Spohn & Zeigler at 144 East Center Street, Marion, OH 43302 on August 21, 2009. A low-speed electric bicycle does not require registration, insurance, license plates (tags), or a driver's license. The rules of an electric bicycle are the same as a traditional bicycle. There is some confusion caused by Ohio interchanging the word Moped with "motorized bicycle." If a dealer sells you a bike that follows the guidelines of Federal Public Law 107-319, then you have a bicycle. If the bike has no pedals or has a higher wattage motor than 750 watts or can travel faster than 20mph you have a moped or scooter; Ohio requires tags and registration for mopeds and scooters.
This Saturday, Oct. 7, Tim Sway will showcase his "UpTriCycle" at the Greater Hartford Mini Maker Faire. Sway calls the UpTricycle an "off grid, electric, solar charging mobile maker space and carrier for upcycling makers." He uses minimal tools and footprints in his creation for unlimited potential. On his YouTube page, Sway made a comparison video between a gas-powered trike and an electric trike. He purchased a gas-powered trike first, and then converted that same trike to electric with our E-Bike Conversion Kit. After testing out both designs and comparing the two, Sway decided that the electric tricycle was superior...
Oregon Law (ORS 801.258) defines an electric assisted bicycle as an electric motor-driven vehicle equipped with operable pedals, a seat or saddle for the rider, no more than three wheels in contact during travel. In addition, the vehicle must be equipped with an electric motor that is capable of applying a power output of no greater than 1,000 watts, and that is incapable of propelling the vehicle at a speed no greater than 20 miles per hour on level ground.[54]
Photo: Zap Electric's power-assist kit turns a conventional bike into an electric one. There's a bolt-on DC electric motor (weighing just over 3kg or 7lb) just above the back wheel, behind the police officer's foot, pressing against the tire and driving it by simple friction. The motor's powered by a compact lead-acid battery (weighing about 5.5 kg or 12 lb) inside a protective nylon bag. This kit adds quite bit of weight to the bike, but gives extra range and speed when needed. Photo taken in Santa Rosa, California by Rick Tang courtesy of US DOE/NREL.
Simple, convenient, cheap, and economical—bicycles are one of the world's favorite forms of transportation. But they're not for everyone. They can be hard to pedal up and down hills or with heavy loads, and elderly or disabled people may find them impossible to manage. In the last few years, a new generation of electric bicycles has begun to revolutionize our idea of environmentally friendly transportation. These new cycles have all the convenience of cars with all the simple economy of ordinary cycles. Let's take a closer look at how they work.
This is one of the most incredible eBikes on the market today! The Riese and Muller SuperCharger Rohloff GX is one of our most popular models and we know they are being put through thousands of miles across the Southeast. From the coastal areas to the Appalachian mountains, we have customers buying and riding these highly engineered eBikes. These eBikes …
Attitudes to electric bikes have changed in recent years. For a long time they were seen by cyclists as 'cheating' and by non-cyclists as being just like a bike, but uglier and far more expensive. This new breed of best-in-class electric bikes feel more natural, look more normal, and people are coming around to the idea that a ride with the convenience of a bike but without all the sweat and effort is a Very Good Thing.
Electric bicycles are not allowed in any public area, meaning an area where there is full or partial public access. Any kind of pedal assist, electric bike, scooter, moped or vehicle which has any form of propulsion, whether in full or as assist, other than human power, must be approved as either a car, motorcycle, van, truck, bus or similar. This makes pedelecs and tilt-controlled two-wheel personal vehicles illegal in all practical ways, as they cannot be registered as a motor cycle.[36]
In summary, federal law trumps all States' laws. That is true with bicycle law, too. States cannot constitutionally pass legislation that reduces or eliminates Federal laws, they can only pass legislation that enacts additional (tighter) restrictions on its people. States can't define an ebike a bicycle if greater than 750W/20mph, nor can they define an ebike a motor vehicle if less than the Federal Government's limit of 750 Watts and a top electric-powered speed of 20 MPH.3This is the Federal definition of a low speed electric bike, which equates it to a bicycle.
There are individuals who claim to have lost considerable amounts of weight by using an electric bike.[62] A recent prospective cohort study however found that people using e-bikes have a higher BMI.[63] By making the biking terrain less of an issue, people who wouldn't otherwise consider biking can use the electric assistance when needed and otherwise pedal as they are able.[64] This means people of lower fitness levels or who haven't cycled in many years can start enjoying the many health benefits E-bikes have to offer.

Riding a pedal-assisted road bike may seem counterintuitive but during longer training sessions, the minimal addition of power helps prevent overall muscle fatigue and injury. Similarly, those looking to enjoy longer scenic routes will appreciate the general boost an electric drive provides. With a top speed of 28 mph, the Road E+1 uses three power modes to give you ultimate control over your ride and assistance level. A four-point sensory system monitors the pedaling force allowing the motor to amplify your movements seamlessly.
"Bicycles" and "Electric Bicycles" are legally defined in the Texas Transportation Code Chapter 551., titled "Operation of Bicycles, Mopeds, and Play Vehicles" in Subchapter A, B, C, and D.[58] The following definition of electric bicycle was passed by the Texas legislature in 2001. "Electric bicycle" means a bicycle that is designed to be propelled by an electric motor, exclusively or in combination with the application of human power, cannot attain a speed of more than 20 miles per hour without the application of human power; and does not exceed a weight of 100 pounds. The department or a local authority may not prohibit the use of an electric bicycle[0] on a highway that is used primarily by motor vehicles. The department or a local authority may prohibit the use of an electric bicycle[0] on a highway used primarily by pedestrians.
With a chain drive transmission, a chainring attached to a crank drives the chain, which in turn rotates the rear wheel via the rear sprocket(s) (cassette or freewheel). There are four gearing options: two-speed hub gear integrated with chain ring, up to 3 chain rings, up to 11 sprockets, hub gear built into rear wheel (3-speed to 14-speed). The most common options are either a rear hub or multiple chain rings combined with multiple sprockets (other combinations of options are possible but less common).
Mid-mounted system means that the electric motor is not built into the wheel but is usually mounted near (often under) the bottom bracket shell. Mid-drive systems tend to feel more like a normal bike, since they drive the pedals, just like your legs, and those who frequently climb long, steep hills tend to prefer mid-drive systems for their ability to handle long climbs. As they can leverage the bicycles lowest gears for climbs, mid drive systems can also leverage the high gears to reach higher speeds on flat areas than a hub system. The mid-drive motor drives the crank, instead of the wheel itself, which multiplies its power and allows it to better take advantage of the bike's existing gears. If the rider changes the gears appropriately, the motor can turn closer to its ideal rotations per minute which makes a huge difference while climbing hills, so this is a perfect option for those who love mountain biking.
Introduction A quick of note of my experiences riding a Moustache Dimanche eBike, kindly provided by Fully Charged, on a spectacular 4 day trip, coast-to-coast across Italy. Overall, an amazing experience in terms of the quality of the ride, the scenery and the new experience of quite painless climbing of the many steep hills. I … Continue reading The joys of crossing Italy coast 2 coast on an eBike – by Andreas Credé
Since 2000, Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (MVSR) have defined Power Assisted bicycles (PABs) as a separate category, and which require no license to operate. PABs are currently defined as a two- or three-wheeled bicycle equipped with handlebars and operable pedals, an attached electric motor of 500W or less, and a maximum speed capability of 32 km/h from the motor over level ground. Other requirements include a permanently affixed label from the manufacturer in a conspicuous location stating the vehicle is a power-assisted bicycle under the statutory requirements in force at the time of manufacture.[14][15] All power-assisted bicycles must utilize an electric motor for assisted propulsion.
Artwork: Hub motors aren't the only way to power electric bicycle wheels. If you've ever watched a mouse scampering around inside an exercise wheel, you might have wondered if you could drive a wheel electrically, in a similar way, with something that pushes against the inside of the rim. A company called GeoOrbital has been developing an ingenious mechanical equivalent that can be used to power conventional bikes—and here's a simplified illustration of how it works. It has a motorized drive roller (red) that presses against the inner rim, powered by a battery pack (orange) that sits snugly inside the wheel. Two guide rollers (blue) mounted on a tensioned framework (green) take the place of the conventional arrangement of spokes. According to GeoOrbital, you can fit one of its wheels to a normal bike in just 60 seconds.
The $3,099 MSRP is a bit daunting if you've not shopped for high-end bikes before, but it compares favorably with, say, Trek's electric bike lineup. That said, you can get a solid urban/commuter bike without a motor for well under $1,000. You can even score an e-bike for under a grand, but you'll likely be looking at a battery range of less than 40 miles, along with lower-quality components.
