The electric bike has become a regular part of life for me now… but repetitive jolts to the hindquarters don’t have to be.

Any time you’re riding a vehicle of any kind, safety should come first. There’s no point to saving the planet if you’re not going to be around to enjoy it.

Plainly and simply… I will miss the island.
The sun is setting earlier every day out here. It reminds me of how short my remaining time is on this island. Most of me wants to get on the next ferry out of here, but part of me knows I’m going to miss it. Just like I did last year.
And just like last year, I want to get home and start work on my next big project. I’m planning on something big, new, exciting, and potentially dangerous. Something that could either save independent musicians like myself or drive me straight into a boring day job.
With your help, I’ll stay afloat, even after I get off that giant boat onto the mainland. I’ll be a lot more specific in September, but for now all I can think of is a clock counting down to the end of my exile here on Block Island.
There’s dancing, singing, idiots on mopeds, deer, and some killer waves.
Everywhere I go I get funny looks. People also seem to be interested in the bike, too.

So now I have a pile of high-tech parts. How easy will it be to turn a street bicycle into an electric vehicle?

I mention Sheldon Brown in this video as well. Sheldon is the quintessential bike nerd with all kinds of helpful articles on bike maintenance. If it can be done, he’s got a procedure for you to read through. Believe me, it’s a lot easier than working on your car.

Not every day on the island is a sun-drenched beach party. Some days it’s moist. Very moist.
It’s amazing how some businesses will sacrifice $10 to save $1.
Update: A local business owner finally clued me in that commercial power around here is about 75ยข per kWh. I’ve re-done the whole article to match the new math. Higher than I thought, still not worth pissing off your customers.
I eat ate lunch pretty much every weekend at Aldo’s restaurant for the same reason I eat breakfast at the bakery every morning- free internet and a power outlet. Last year it was the perfect routine… donuts, coffee, blogging, then on to the performance or off to bike around the island. Seven days a week the bakery got my money and every weekend the restaurant served me at least two meals.
This year, however, they’ve covered all the power outlets. No more running the laptop on their dime. For all the tourists that drift through and considering rising energy costs, it makes sense, right? Wrong.
