I always enjoy your videos. I hope I can takes some longer rides when my English students stop for the summer vacation. You know the summer here in Brazil is your winter in the states. I pray for the safety of all the good and sane people in the USA in spite of the crazy political scenario coming soon.

What month and what was the temperature?

Looks like a good location!

If you’re 62 or older, you can get a lifetime pass to US national parks for only $80.

Oh Steve, how wonderful. Moab is one of my favorites of all. You look great there! I still wish I was your neighbor.

Great video, Thanks!

It's awesome to see you keep going going riding riding with your wife i was a truck driver went to salt Lake city it was a awesome view coming in looked i was coming in on a airplane

As always I enjoy your videos Steve. I saw the word Colorado and thought you might pop in on RVD…😊😊😊!! It’s a bit colder in Colorado though. Hope you are having or have had a great vacation out west. Any big trips next year??

Nice “essentials” Steve. I see you still have your sweet tooth! Cam

Thanks! Best breakfast along the trail in Meyersdale! Ride it in 2014

Steve, another thing: I hope you’ll do a long distance ride with the e-bike you’re reviewing and show us how you deal with keeping your battery charged! Your rides on what these days people are calling “analog” bicycles have certainly inspired me to get back in the game even if it will be on an e-bike! Thank you.

Steve, thanks for the review. How heavy exactly is the bike you’re reviewing? I have a Velotric Discover 1 that weighs 63.5 lbs, I’m 80 and though I used to ride a lot I’m just getting back into cycling. I’ve put 1,000 miles on my e-bike in 6 months just on local (Lynchburg, VA) trails but look forward to doing some rides on some trails in mid-Atlantic area. I hope we start seeing lighter e-bikes in affordable price ranges as a hidden cost with these heavier e-bikes is the need to use a hardy trail hitch mounted rack. My Suburu Outback has no hitch so that’s a $500 cost (for my year & model) plus a hefty price for a suitable rack. Velotric has a 36 lb model which would be great but it has a non-removable battery. That’s a deal breaker for me as we now live in an apartment in a continuous care retirement community and store my bike on campus in a location with no plug. Certainly not being negative. I love my bike and I’ve gotten more weekly excise in the past three months than I have in years. I’m now just realizing what my ideal e-bike would be like: below 40 lbs, removable battery, and more than 7 derailleur gears.

Looks heavy!

Different environment here. Getting colder

stefe are you on strava ??

What a great attitude you have! It’s contagious!

Thanks Steve. Motivational can ebb and flow and needs to be refreshed from time to time.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments Steve. Just finished rereading Covey's "7 habits" book and mindfulness is mentioned in his habit 7 "sharpening the saw". This particular habit is overall about taking care of yourself. You model the way for all of us as concerns taking care of ourselves physically and mentally. As always, appreciate your videos.

Thanks Steve for your positive attitude

Great video Steve! It does take discipline to keep riding. Some days you really don’t feel like but I have found that those are the days that can be the best on the bike and then you’re so glad you did the ride! I’ll be 73 in January and I can thank my time on the bike for the good health I have. Keep spreading the word Steve!

Enjoy Florida Steve . I’m the same vintage age of 72 and heading south mid December for four months to ride and golf. Us old guys have discipline and get out there daily and feel guilty if we miss a day. Leaving beautiful but now cold Cape Cod to enjoy the winter although Florida riding is totally flat and really quite boring. Keep in shape for your big ride! If you get down to Boca or Delray Beach area this winter look me up. I will have several good bikes there. You’ll be comfortable.

You are so amazing! ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Have you found the e-bikes tires last longer than regular bike tires?

The trails are so beautiful in CT. ❤❤

Great video Steve!

Love this one Steve. Cheers.

Good day, Sir! Safe ride/vlogging! GOD Bless!

Videos like this motivate me. Thank you

Its all good

Steve, you’re going to love the Natchez Trace. I rode it in April 2019 but had to cut it short in Jackson, MS because of severe weather. I live in the Northeast so it was difficult training in the winter and Tennessee was a challenge because it was hillier than I expected. Beautiful riding, though. I’m 68 and thinking about riding it again, hopefully making it all the way to Natchez next time!

Steve, I am glad to see you riding a normal bike again. I would like to comment about e-bikes as they are useful for people who really need them. This video was really nice. I believe young teenagers who are riding e-bikes and other electric assisted vehicles should be riding normal bikes and not these electric ones. They really need the exercise but the parents normally just give in to them because they want to please them. Electric vehicles are great for people who really need them. I am your age and riding my bike everyday helps me to feel better. I have my health issues but the riding helps me to feel better. Please Steve, I would like to share some thoughts about the current situation in the USA in a private message. How can I connect you? Email, messenger, or Skype? Best regards, your follower. Maurice

In my experience of life something becomes easy only in hindsight when doing something that is not easy. Following a bike crash concussion and four years off the bike I'm currently finding it very uncomfortable to get out and begin re-training my cycle fitness back up to 60 miles per day. I keep bonking even when regularly snacking. I'm finding the training in a cold and damp winter particularly uncomfortable but I did it in 2017-18 so I trust I can do it in 2024 also. I trust the process, no pain, no gain, and that if I one day cycle and suffer 80, 90 or 100 miles a number of times then 60 miles in a day will seem easy to me. I have been watching some of the spectacular endurance biking channels to put my own current suffering even doing 30+ miles in perspective and motivate me not to complain. I never felt healthier than in 2019 after two years of cycling. On the other hand I have never felt more unhealthy than after my second concussion. Win some loose some is my experience. Yes I keep intending to also resume sitting meditation, possibly to help me sleep at night. Thanks for sharing.

I subscribed just on principle.

Glad to see you back in Florida again. Great place to ride all winter long. I just finished a 35 mile ride this afternoon. As you said, I didn’t want to go but I am fairly disciplined and told myself that I’m not going to waste a nice day staying indoors! Thanks for great words of wisdom.

Yours is a timely video for me, Steve - thanks. I retire in Aug. 2025, and in fall 2025 plan to fly to So. Korea with my new Brompton to ride their 633km "Four Rivers Ride" over a week's time. I just re-started my riding, after a fourth hand surgery and physical therapy to address some knee and hip pains, to get back into shape and start logging increasingly higher mileage rides so I can complete that long-distance ride in good form. The thought of experiencing this ride and So. Korea's backcountry is #1 on my bucket list and has me inspired! Thanks for the additional motivation, Steve!

Sound and good advise. I'm in Australia where our average temp at the moment is 30C. What kind of temperatures where you are and how do you get around protecting your body in the event of a fall whilst not cooking yourself ?

Yes sir I agree For me it does come down to mindfulness and staying focused on my goal. I can make it work!!

💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I thought maybe you started snowbirdibg to Florida when I saw the palm trees!

It is a wonderful ride! I recommend Littleton's The Little Grille at the Depot and Gorham's Mr. Pizza & Moose Brook Motel.

steve i ride a 25 mile route with 1600 feet of climbing and limited traffic but i just love my route and i really dont feel like exploging even though there are many great routes....im 70 and have been cycling 40 years ...and i m on strava i dont see anyone else doing this

Design puts a lot of alternatives to shame. Bigger buttons may be easier on the remote. And my guess, from experience, is that the motor is just slightly under powered - to keep the peace and that. Definately want one thou. Ricky.

Excellent Steve.......You did an excellent job on that interview. You definitely influence me to keep my biking safe and happy.

What tires are you using sir

I love that this product it's not intended to be a full "e bike" conversion, but a pedal-assist.

Hi Steve. When is ride the state? I would love to do it sometime.

Wonderful video Steve. You are a natural inspiration to me and I am sure to many others. Love your message 😊❤🙏

Cool that the interviewer reached out to you! I’m 73 and relate 100% to your videos.

Very good! As someone who is turning 69 years old, I agree with your comment about speed and racing. Now retired and living in SWFL, many cyclists here ride much faster than me. I'm still searching for other riders my speed. 🙂 Thanks!

You should be proud of yourself Steve of the accomplishments you’ve had and how far you come. As I was listening to your story along with the lady I felt the sense of being proud for you. Thanks for bringing us along!
