I had a heart attack, three months ago. I ride about two thousand miles a year and I am currently riding an E-bike. My chest is held together with 6 screws. Should I look into a three wheeler? or should I keep riding my e-bike (2 inch tires). In the last year, I have fallen twice. the first, I was attacked by a dog and the second time I rodee into a rut. I am on blood thinners and falling would create a whole lot of problems.See More

I was riding thru Elgin, along Bluff City Rd.. an unleashed dog ran from his owner and knocked me off my bike. Off duty cop was there in a minute, Ambulance ride and a CAT scan later, no broken bones and I still have all my teeth. My helmet cracked, my glasses were destroyed and Im banged up.  Anyhow, what's next. can i get my glasses replaced? Anything that I should take care of. I'm picking up the police report tomorrow. BTW the dog was okay.See More

Just wanted to say thanx and I will definitely pay…See More

The only thing I'm interested in is RIDING. and loving it.For the first week of distancing, I rode an E-Bike, because one of those days had a 25 mph wind in my face. I rode about 100 miles on the E-Bike. I'm almost 65 years old and it was great being able to go up hills ( Valley View, St. Charles), and not worry about the headwinds. It reminds me of when I was 12 years old riding my stingray (with banana seat and…See More
