Hi All,
My name is Phil. I've been looking for a summer project this year and after looking around a while on craigslist at bike mods, I saw someone with a bike motor on a schwinn cruiser. Of course the more research I did the more I had to have one. So I ordered one and installed it on sunday. The CDI was DOA (failed multimeter readings) so I'm waiting for a new one to arrive in the mail.
I've got a mountain bike that is about to become my daily commuter to work (4 miles each way on under 30 MPH roads). I'm super psyched about starting this hobby and even my wife is enjoying my enthusiasm. I showed my dad this weekend, and he already wants to convert one of his bikes.
My hope this summer is to get one the road and hopefully find a few people who would be interested in riding around Downtown DC as a group, and/or just going for weekend rides. I'm looking for suggestions on locations to ride and enjoy the outdoors safely.
Anyhow, super excited about joining the forum and the hobby, can't wait to get on the road!!
Thanks,
Phil
