New cockpit set up on the Wabash. I put one of my Cannondale Casey Handlebar Bags on the front of the bike and went to a fork mounted headlight to replace the Magic Shine light that didn't live up to it's specs.
Another beautiful morning to be riding to work.
One thing I noticed on this morning's ride was the power to the bike kept cutting out.
I had to keep turning it back on, manually. I stopped after crossing over the Merritt Parkway, opened the battery compartment and closed it tightly but that didn't seem to help. The door to the compartment was pretty tight.
This is now my longest route to work and power management stayed the same.
The evening ride home was nice
but the power kept going off periodically.
I rode up along the Saugatuck Reservoir on Valley Forge
Some leftover Halloween decor
West Street looking towards the Flag Pole. The new Planet Bike light is bright!
A friend of mine purchased a Wabash, too, and learned that the cable that connects to the mount for the battery can be faulty or become that way if you pull out the battery often. That's how I was recharging the battery when I got to the office. I would pull it out, bring it up to my desk, plug in the charger and then put it back in the bike. I ended up taking the bike back to Rutland City Bikes where it sat for 6 months waiting for a part to come in. Once it did and JT fixed it I never had a problem again. Of course, I never take it out of the compartment to charge it now.
