EVELO Electric Bikes - Headquarters, E-Bike Showroom, Shop Visit
Evelo electric bikes has been selling e-bikes in the United States since 2012, making them one of the earliest mainstream offerings I was exposed to. In late 2017, I visited their new showroom shop in Seattle, Washington (in the Madrona neighborhood) and took a tour with Alex Stegemann, a staff lead at the company. We talked about their outstanding warranty and explored the new models including a mountain bike called the Delta, a folding model called the Quest, and two city/cruiser models called the Galaxy which come in high-step and step-thru frame designs.
I was told that Evelo had grown out their original space on the East Coast and was using this new office to test bikes, sell to in-person customers, fulfill online orders, and do refurbishments and warranty repairs.

FULL REPLAY: American Cyclo-cross Championships 2019 Elite Men & Women | CX On GCN Racing
This year the American National Cyclocross Championships are being held in Fort Steilacoom Park in Washington State, which is referred to as the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Traditionally it’s very rainy in the PNW - especially this time of year & the racers are expecting a muddy weekend. The course is very steep, and it has a historically long run-up which could decide the race.
Katie Compton is a fifteen-time National Champion and is lining up to defend her title from a long list of established rivals including Kaitie Keough, Rebecca Fahringer & Clara Honsinger. Will she win another CONSECUTIVE national title?
In the men’s race, Stephen Hyde has won three editions but has been a little off the pace so far this season. He’s going to be up against a strong field including the current pan-American Champ, Kerry Werner, and Curtis White, the number 1 ranked American CX rider right now. A possible dark horse is the WorldTour Pro Logan Owan from EF Education First who has a few CX national titles already…
The course is held on land that has hosted cross' races for a very long time over decades and used to host the US Gran Prix of cyclocross. The last time the USA National champs were held in the Seattle area was in 1996, and we’re looking forward to seeing some classic PNW conditions in the nationals again.

This Man Turned a Car Into a Motorbike to Escape the Desert
In one of his many road trips to Morocco, Emile Leray (nicknamed the “Doctor of African Mechanics” by his friends) hit a roadblock ... literally. Well, actually it was a rock in the middle of the desert, but you get the idea. With his car’s front axel destroyed and a limited food supply, Leray faced an uncertain future. So what did he do? Engineered the ultimate DIY escape.

Trailer park millionaires
Some of the richest people in the US, including billionaires Warren Buffett and Sam Zell, have made millions from trailer parks at the expense of the country's poorest people. Seeing their success, ordinary people from across the country are now trying to follow in their footsteps and become trailer park millionaires. The Guardian went to Orlando to learn the tricks of the trade from Frank Rolfe, the self-appointed dean of Mobile Home University, as he led would-be investors around a trailer park for sex offenders.

How to Pack and Ship Your Bike
GET MORE TIPS on the Pure Fix blog:
There are a few things no one should ever do. You'd never leave a baby in the car on a hot day, you'd never give chocolate to a dog, and you'd never travel without your bicycle. How will you explore your destination without it? In today's episode of Pure Fix TV, we look at the best ways to pack and/or ship your bike for a trip!
What You Need
* Bike Box
** Grab one from your local bike shop/box store/or online!
* Extra Cardboard
** This is as easy as grabbing some scrap from out back, or using that old Amazon box you haven't thrown away yet. You just want a little something firm to keep the pointy bits of your bike from poking through in transit.
* Tube Protectors
** If you get a box from a bike shop, just ask them to save all the packing materials that came with the bike. If they've already tossed them, hit up the home repair store for some cheap pipe insulation or the packing store for some bubble wrap.
* Tools
** You need a 15mm wrench for removing the front wheel, an allen key for removing your handlebars, seatpost, and the bits that stick out too far, and a pedal wrench (flat 15mm wrench) for removing the pedals. We made it easy for you by putting together a couple tool packs for your bike, whether it's fixed or singlespeed.
* Zip Ties
** Just to keep everything secure. Bike shops, home repair shops, even the drug store probably has a bag of these lying around. They're useful in your everyday ride kit too for re-securing bits that come loose, mounting non-traditional accessories, holding spare tubes together, etc... Just toss a few spares in your saddle bag while you're at it.
** Pack it All Up **
This is one spot where seeing really is better than reading so watch the video for a clear picture of how everything fits together. If you're worried, you can always ask the bike shop to pack it for you as well - most will offer bike packing for shipping/travel as a service and it's worth a few bucks if you're worried about botching the job yourself.
** Other Tips **
* Remember to pack your tools
** There's nothing worse than getting to your destination and realizing you can't put your bike back together. Be sure to toss your tools in the box before you tape it up and you can avoid tool shopping on your holiday.
* Don't call it a bike at the airport
** Airlines love charging extra for... well, everything. You may not be able to avoid getting charged for an oversized checked bag, but if you tell the check-in person there's a bike in the box they'll often hit you with another $50-$100 worth of fees. Just tell them it's sporting equipment if asked and you can usually avoid the extra shakedown.
And now you know! Be sure to subscribe so you never miss a Pure Fix TV episode and enjoy your next vacation on two wheels!
