swept Multnomah to Oleson and back, Terwilliger OHSU to Taylor's Ferry (PBOT needs to do some heavy lifting farther south here & sidewalks too), sidewalks on bridge over the freeway, both sides of Barbur from 3rd to 19th (ODOT come get your broken asphalt bits, and sweep your sidewalks?), Barbur NB from 24th to Spring Garden -> 19th, Bertha, yesterday Vermont past the schools, Capitol Hwy Terwilliger to the bridge across Multnomah #pdxBikes#BikeLaneSweeper#Portland#transportation@bikeloudpdx
still todo, west end of Vermont, BH-Hwy, more Barbur, south end of Capitol Hwy (and north/Barbur), Oleson?, maybe the sidewalks west of #CrashCorner, what else SW?
@lkanies IDK, it's weird somehow, and my handlebar + seatpost swap was quite the ordeal to fit me comfortably in a somewhat upright manner that I don't think is suited to this frame, tube angles and trail I guess. If you like riding a track or trials bike maybe, it seems to be built like that with the stock seatpost and wide flat handlebar forward over the front wheel. That said, I'm able to turn around in a pretty small circle on it with the sweeper + the orange front rack intimidates drivers
@lkanies also no brake cutouts to the motor control 😒 no the torque sensor is not enough to control that because it has too much lag, so I'm often fighting the motor with the brake because I need to pedal e.g. to shift or maneuver, but don't want laggy surges of power, and I like the pedal-mashing up and down response if I just want to be using full power. Maybe some people like it but mostly they combined some good parts and a weird frame to make a mid high-end department store assembly e-bike.
