Cheri703couldn't make it :(17:21
starkittno noes17:21
canthus13that's two years in a row I've missed you. :/17:21
Cheri703transportation woes, and a lot of stuff to get taken care of before both of us starting new jobs this week (which: \o/ yay!)17:21
Cheri703you guys could come visit mansfield :)17:22
canthus13That's awesome. :)17:22
canthus13We should.17:22
starkittncongratz on the new job!17:22
Cheri703you have to wait til we clean the house though >.> it is....not so great atm17:22
Cheri703thanks starkittn :)17:22
canthus13Heh.17:22
Cheri703I'm not especially excited about mine, it's meh, but husband's is actually in the field he wants, so hopefully potential for progress17:23
canthus13Cheri703: oh yeah. starkittn is my wife, in case you haven't figured it out yet.17:23
* Cheri703 knew that ;)17:23
* starkittn pokes canthus13 17:23
starkittnntmy Cheri703 ^_^17:24
Cheri703:) you too17:24
Cheri703I'm SUUUUUPER excited to get my e-bike kit...it got delayed or I'd be out playing with it right now :)17:24
canthus13Oh cool. :)17:25
Cheri703husband got a car, but I'm going to have an e-bike :) didn't want to have two jobs dependent on one super cheap car :)17:25
starkittngood idea!17:26
canthus13Cheri703: you're getting the one with the motorized hub, right?17:26
Cheri703I'm going to look like a GIAAAANT nerd rolling up to work, but...I do not care at all...17:26
Cheri703yea canthus13: www.e-bikekit.com17:26
Cheri703I have a bike already, so adding it to that :)17:26
Cheri703I'm no longer just a self proclaimed geek, I'm now a board approved geek ;) since becoming an ubuntu member :D17:27
canthus13Nice.17:28
Cheri703so rolling up on an electric recumbent bike with reflective crap and/or rain gear....not a huge jump ;)17:28
canthus13So Ohio law doesn't require a license and insurance for e-bikes?17:29
Cheri703also: at least going into it, I have literally NO ounce of giving a crap about my coworkers and their perceptions of me17:29
Cheri703nope17:29
Cheri703and mopeds don't either...17:29
Cheri703so...even if they considered it a moped, it'd still be ok17:29
canthus13Hrm.  I thought mopeds required it.17:29
* canthus13 would have one already if he had known.17:29
Cheri703Ohio17:30
Cheri703As long as the electric bicycle meets three criteria it is considered a low-speed electric bicycle, or simply a "bicycle." First, it must travel less than 20 mph on flat ground without pedaling. Second, the bicycle must have functional pedals and finally the motor must be less than 750 watts. This is the same criteria as Federal Public Law 107-319.17:30
Cheri703A low-speed electric bicycle does not require registration, insurance, license plates (tags), or a driver's license. The rules of an electric bicycle are the same as a traditional bicycle.17:30
Cheri703There is some confusion caused by Ohio interchanging the word Moped with "motorized bicycle." If a dealer sells you a bike that follows the guidelines of Federal Public Law 107-319, then you have a bicycle. If the bike has no pedals or has a higher wattage motor than 750 watts or can travel faster than 20 mph it is classified as a moped or scooter; Ohio requires tags and registration for mopeds and scooters.17:30
Cheri703no, they have REALLY SPECIFIC qualifications of what is a moped though17:30
Cheri703I rode one back in the day17:30
Cheri703I am getting the 500w direct drive rear wheel17:31
Cheri70320" wheel for my bike17:31
Cheri703canthus13: I will let you know what I think of mine, so far their customer service is really good17:32
canthus13Cool. :)17:33
Cheri703my brother is considering an e-bike, like a full on integrated one, I like the idea of the kit because you can get ANY bike that you like, and even change out if you want "normal" use without it, and then "commuter" use with the hub17:34
Cheri703and I should have gotten my stupid kit on friday, but UPS screwed up, so now I don't get it til monday :( though I'm also waiting for a rack to mount the battery, and a cover to protect it when parked17:38
Cheri703aaanyway, did you guys have a good time at OLF?17:40
canthus13Yup.17:40
_bbba bunch of my friends are going thru a moped phase17:40
_bbband theyve been pressuring me to join their gang17:40
* canthus13 tore down her laptop to swap the wireless card right in the middle of the main floor yesterday.17:41
canthus13...her meaning starkittn.17:41
Cheri703_bbb: I had one when I was 14 til like 16, before I got my first recumbent bike. it was awesome because it was either bike or mom, so moped gave me mobility :)17:41
Cheri703hehe canthus1317:41
canthus13Cheri703: It was a pain in the butt, too. :/ Dell 14 inch laptops are really badly designed compared to every other model I've worked on.17:42
Cheri703I thought about a moped for current needs, but if it crapped out, that is a HEAVY thing to get up hills with one pedal gear (had that happen when I was younger, and mansfield is even hillier)17:42
canthus13_bbb: A moped gang? Heh.17:43
Cheri703dell laptops are really badly designed (ftfy)17:43
canthus13Cheri703: Meh. I've loved every one I've worked on up to this one.. they've been very easy to work on.17:43
Cheri703:)17:43

Cheri703I'm always amused when the weather thing says "current: thunderstorms" and it is barely overcast outside...17:58
