I have one of these and I really really liked it until the motor started cutting out while pressing the throttle. Sent it in for repairs twice, got a new ebike while waiting for them to send it back the second time. It was great for the 9

They're not exactly standard models, a frame design has to be modified to accommodate that Bosch drive.

My experience is that it's most important to keep your ears, hands, and torso warm, which I achieve with a windbreaker vest or jacket depending on how cold it is. Even if I'm a bit chilly when I leave, I'm certain to be war

You've got this entirely backwards. E-Bikes are an enabling factor for overweight people to start using bikes more. I know because I am one, my BMI is 33 and it's one of the main driving factors behind my decision to acquire an e-

This isn't that difficult to deal with, though. Instead of linking a CEO to their company with a simple object property, explicitly reify the relationship as a class in the model that represents something like "employment".

This is precisely why I left the rdf* mailing list shortly after it was created this year. The list maintainer invited subscribers to introduce themselves and as soon as a particular individual posted, I no longer wanted to be a member of

You can do this at wayfair.com. It's kind of hidden though, when you get to the shelves, click "Sort & Filter" and then scroll down until you see the dimension sliders.

What's there for me to presume? You stated your presumption quite clearly: "... private (corporate-owned and fair game) property. Presumably his office is in the latter category."

Realize, you are talking about a publication that was started by a Kickstarter campaign that raised $16,000 [1], which is assembled in the living room of the EiC's apartment [2], and has a handful of full-time employees at most. The a

The FDA really wants flavored nicotine vapes banned, like flavored tobacco was banned ten years ago. I think the tainted THC vapes are being used as a convenient excuse to do so.

Libraries often limit use of group study rooms to groups, even with student status you may not be able to use them individually. The spaces that indicate they are open to the public and are categorized with the "considerate" nois

I would expect any public university library to be open to the public. Consider trying UCSF or SFSU. https://www.library.ucsf.edu/use/spaces/ http://library.sfsu.edu/hours

I feel like lots of libraries are already organized like this, and the only ones that try to put everything in one room are smaller public library branches. Certainly, the academic library I work at has these activities located on separate

The discussion of androgens is of previous work completed in 2015 that the new estrogen work builds upon. The second paragraph explains the former and the third paragraph explains the latter.
