Mom’s Bar brings karaoke back to Madison

When the Karaoke Kid announced its closing the summer of 2020 due to COVID-19, the city lost a noteworthy staple of the karaoke scene. But, bar-goers and karaoke fans alike can now call Mom’s Bar home. To get more news about Melbourne City Karaoke, you can visit starsktv.com.au official website.

The opportunity presented itself to owner Andrew Greenwood, who during the pandemic yearned for the live music he spent most of his life around and creating.

“Once things started opening up, I decided to take my savings and a little investment luck I had and I went in and talked to the landlord at Karaoke Kid,” says Greenwood. From that conversation on, Greenwood says that things kept working out. Mom’s Bar opened at 614 University Ave. in February.

Greenwood has only recently started to embrace the title of bar owner. Having spent most of his life in Madison, he went to college on a scholarship at the age of 17 and soon dropped out but “didn’t sweat it.” He began working in sub shops and grocery store,s and in the meantime, played live shows with his brothers and sisters around the city.

He eventually went back to school and studied at Madison College. He began creating and selling apps and after graduating, he began working at Filament Games, an educational gaming company. Greenwood was later laid off. He then applied to Raven Games in Middleton and has been there for six years now. He describes it as “one of the kindest, most humane companies” he’s ever worked for.

In his off-hours at Mom’s Bar, Greenwood is focused on creating a kind, chill environment for everyone who walks through its doors, including employees.

“We run a pretty flat employee structure and we make decisions as a group,” Greenwood says.

“I’ve been hiring based on people’s interests and that they generally want to be there and are a kind person, so we have a good mix of experienced and inexperienced staff. Ultimately we’re trying to be welcoming to people in the neighborhood,” says Greenwood.

In a city with a long list of bar spots to try, Mom’s Bar stands out for a few things, most obvious being the live music aspect that Greenwood hopes to turn into more than karaoke in the future. Mom’s Bar is only open until midnight, because between midnight and 2 a.m., things can get sour, says Greenwood.Greenwood says that Mom’s Bar is not against the other “vibes” in the city, rather Mom’s Bar is a “great ingredient to add.” The midnight closing time gives customers the chance to choose how they want the rest of their night to look.

A musician at heart, Greenwood hopes to bring live jazz and other programming to Mom’s Bar, and it’s one of his dreams to be able to book his friends to play. He’s excited to see what the community likes and how things play out.

“We really focus on fresh ideas, good vibes and a kind atmosphere to everyone there,” says Greenwood. So far, business has been booming, with Greenwood emphasizing how the bar has already reached capacity a few times.

Now that doors are open, Greenwood is already thinking next steps. He has plans to improve the internal structures, as well as create a Mom’s Bar mural. “We also want to get a little spot where you can stand with your mom next to an outline of ‘I took my mom to Mom’s bar'” says Greenwood.

Currently, Mom’s Bar is working with the same company that created Canteen’s sign to have bigger, more visible signage. All long-term plans for Mom’s Bar serve as a motivation to prove its place in the community. Greenwood suggests that so far, so good.


CALBIKE’S $10M E-BIKE AFFORDABILITY CAMPAIGN

We won phase one of our campaign. Now CalBike is working with the California Air Resources Board to roll out a program to help Californians buy e-bikes.To get more news about ebike accessories, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

E-bikes combine the bicycle’s efficiency (the “beautiful machine”) with the ease and power of an electric motor. They provide Californians the opportunity to travel much farther, faster, and over more difficult terrain than a regular bike. Studies show that e-bike trips do a great job of replacing car trips. And compared to cars, including electric cars, they are much more affordable to own and operate.To get more news about rad rover 5, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Unfortunately, getting an e-bike in the first place is expensive. Many Californians cannot afford $2,000 or more on an e-bike, so they are stuck paying $100 each time they fill their tank and struggle with repair and maintenance costs that cause many families to sacrifice too much.CalBike’s budget request for $10 million for e-bike purchase incentives is included in the budget approved by the legislature and the governor. CalBike is working with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to help outline the program. We are proposing a $10 million allocation this year, with continued funding in future years, to implement a program that meets the goals originally included in AB 117 (Boerner Horvath) and the goals outlined below.To get more news about waterproof bag for bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

California’s E-Bike Affordability Program provides $10 million in subsidies to help people buy e-bikes. The program is scheduled to begin in July of 2022. CalBike is working with CARB to develop guidelines for who will be eligible, the size of the grants, and the equitable distribution of the funds.

We expect this program to help 10,000 Californians buy clean, green e-bikes. We’ll spread the word about how to apply once the details are settled. Sign the form above to be the first to know about California e-bike subsidies.
Goals of the E-Bike Affordability Program

Help people replace car trips with e-bike trips.
Prioritize grants to individuals from low-income households.
Define eligibility for the program as individuals and households with incomes below the maximum limits established in the Clean Vehicle Rebate Project.
Support related programs and benefits, such as safety education.
Provide support for a variety of electric bicycles, including, but not limited to, bicycles designed for people with disabilities; utility bikes for carrying equipment or passengers, including children; and folding e-bikes.
Support local small businesses and organizations, such as retail bicycle shops and nonprofit organizations, including community bicycle shops.
Collaborate with other state departments and agencies to enforce safeguards against fraudulent activity by sellers and purchasers of e-bikes in accordance with the law.
[to be added] Ensure that e-bikes purchased through this program meet a high standard of quality and durability.


Electric Bicycles (e-bikes) in National Parks

The National Park Service (NPS) final regulation governing the use of e-bikes in units of the National Park System published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2020,became effective on December 2, 2020. View the final regulations on the Federal Register. This final rule publication also includes the comment summaries and responses as part of the preamble.To get more news about ebike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

As e-bikes become more popular both on and off NPS-managed lands, the NPS recognized the need to address this emerging form of recreation and active transportation in its regulations. The intent of this action is to address an emerging technology in a manner that accommodates visitors and increases opportunities for the public to recreate within and travel through the National Park System, while at the same time protecting the resources and values that draw millions of visitors each year.To get more news about e bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

The regulation defines the term “electric bicycle” and authorize superintendents to allow e-bikes, where appropriate, on roads and trails where traditional bicycles are also allowed. Read the Frequently Asked Questions below for more information about the rule.To get more news about electric bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

The final regulation supports Secretary’s Order 3376 (1.52MB PDF), signed by U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt on August 29, 2019, that directs Department of the Interior (DOI) bureaus to revise their regulations to define the term electric bicycle and expressly exempt e-bikes from the definition of motor vehicle. The final regulation also supports Secretary’s Order 3366 (93.3KB PDF) by increasing recreational opportunities on public lands.
Local communities, NPS staff, and partners continue to work together to determine best practices and guidance for e-bike use in parks. Superintendents retain the right to limit, restrict, or impose conditions on e-bike use to ensure visitor safety and resource protection. Be sure to check with the park you are visiting for details about where e-bikes are allowed and any other rules that apply to their use. As with traditional bicycles, e-bikes are not allowed in wilderness areas.


Colorado man helps community by building e-bikes

A Colorado man is working to change the way we travel by helping people get out of their cars and onto electric bikes.To get more news about ebike accessories, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

“Last year alone, 2.6 billion gallons of gasoline were wasted just people sitting at a stoplight waiting for the light to turn green within five miles of their home,” Gary Lowe said.

Lowe is the owner of the Smart Citiez Group, a Boulder-based technical data analytics company for the traffic and transportation industry. Their goal is to help cities with clean and renewable digital solutions for public safety and environmental sustainability.To get more news about rad rover 5, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

But Lowe also loves to build with electric motors as a hobby. So, when his buddy made him a bet that he couldn’t build an electric bike for under $1,000 that would beat out a 1,000-watt custom e-bike that costs $8,000, Lowe couldn’t refuse.I did it for... just under $400," Lowe said. "So, when the day came and I destroyed him in front of his family and kids and friends and everything like that, he made me promise that I had to share this with others.”To get more news about waterproof bag for bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

When Lowe did share it on the Nextdoor app, he realized there was a big need, especially for people with special needs.

Mitchell has a rare lung illness and mobility issues, so when she connected with Lowe over social media, she had no idea what would be possible.He listened to my story and figured out what I needed, and he actually built the bike,” Mitchell said. "She's lovely. She's a trike, so she's got three wheels, and she has a motor."

When she got on the e-trike for the first time, she said it was "pure joy," and she can't wait to travel farther and use her car less.“I used to ride my bike constantly as a kid. So, I didn't realize how much I had missed that. It was just really fun to be able to be on a bike and going down the street and having that freedom.”
image
It was a similar story for Larry Heriford, who bought an e-trike from a Denver store so he could get around more with his friend and his dog.
He quickly realized that having a front wheel motor wasn't the best for him because it was hard to get up his steep driveway. When he met Lowe, Heriford learned the trike could be updated to rear wheel drive to better fit his needs.

After Lowe updated both Heriford and his friend's trikes, they can now travel farther, and it’s allowing him to spend less time in his old 2004 Buick Park Avenue."It only has 125,000 miles on it, and I want it to last as long as I can drive," Heriford said. "This will allow me to let it last that long.”

Since Lowe first started his efforts, he's built more than 60 different types of electric bikes and trikes, and he even brings in student apprentices to the Crossroads Community Center in Northglenn to teach them the valuable life skills needed to build with electric motors.

He’s also created an electric drift trike that’s made it to the second round of interviews for the TV show "Shark Tank." The drift trike was originally made for a boy with cerebral palsy who couldn’t sit on a traditional trike, but it turns out it’s pretty fun for adults, too.It's incredibly stable, and because of the straps that we have on there, anyone from 3-foot tall to 6-foot-6 can sit in the bike and have fun with it," Lowe said. "In Boulder, Colorado, a lot of dads have made a little motorcycle gang with it. It's pretty funny. The dads take it more than the sons."

All in all, Lowe's goal is simply to keep getting people out of their cars and into more affordable, sustainable forms of transportation.

“To see that young man or young woman pick up a bike that now will actually help lessen the carbon emissions in our environment... which actually helps them get back on the road again, helps them lose weight, helps them do so many different things... this is amazing,” Lowe said.

“His magic that he's able to do and his heart and his passion have really helped so many," Mitchell said. "I'm just so thankful because I've had this opportunity to be a little bit normal again.”

Depending on a customer's needs, updating an old bike into an electric bike costs around $800-$1,500. Lowe has also created an electric bike kit for people to take an old bike they already have and turn it into an electric bike themselves with the help of a 10-minute video.


Meet the electric bicycle companies

It’s confusing enough that bicycles and motorcycles are both shortened to the word “bike.”But things are about to get even more muddled as electric bicycle makers start getting into the electric motorcycle business. All of them are e-bikes. Some of them just have a lot more power and will require riders to get a motorcycle license before hitting the road.To get more news about ebike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

With a fresh crop of startups capitalizing on the pandemic-induced success of plug-in bicycles of all kinds and the need for speed they often inspire, we take a look at some of the new electric motorcycles they’re making that are born to be wild — and green.A dominant player for the past five years with its lineup of electric bicycles that blur the line between vintage mopeds and dirt bikes, Irvine-based Super73 introduced a concept electric motorcycle in March called the C1X. Gone are the pedals of the R, S and Z series bikes since the C1X is a fully powered motorcycle.To get more news about e bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Specifics on the battery and motor have not yet been released, but Super73 estimates the top speed at 75 mph and range to be about 100 miles per charge. To handle the higher speeds, the C1X wheels are also increased to 15 inches, with Bridgestone providing the rubber, and disc brakes providing the stopping power. Pricing has not yet been announced, but reservations can be had for $73. The C1X will be a 2024 model and should be available in late 2023.To get more news about electric bike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
Based in Malibu, Sondors began as an electric bicycle company in 2015, adopting the namesake of its founder: Storm Sondors. Now the company is poised to bring its first electric motorcycle to market. Called the Metacycle, the battery-electric motorcycle can travel up to 80 miles on a single charge at speeds up to 80 mph.

Designed for people who have never ridden a motorcycle before, the Metacycle is powered with a hub motor in its rear wheel and a 4-kilowatt-hour battery. The wheels are 17 inches and stopped with hydraulic brakes. In the spot that would normally be occupied by a gas tank, there’s a wireless cellphone charger. The Metacycle costs $6,000 and can be preordered with a $100 down payment.

A startup based in Cleveland with a shop in Escondido, Land Moto makes an electric bicycle that can be scaled up to a motorcycle with an over-the-air software update. Keep it in ride mode one and it’s an e-bicycle that gets people comfortable with the idea of riding a motorized two-wheeler. Mode two is a street-legal moped, and modes three and four unleash its power to reach a motorcycle speed of 65 mph.

Equipped with DOT-approved wheels, tires, lights and brakes, the Land District comes standard with a 1.8-kilowatt-hour battery but can be upgraded to a 5-kilowatt-hour pack. Regardless of battery size, the pack can be removed from the bike and brought inside for charging or used at a campsite to power lights or cellphones. Land’s bigger battery packs have enough energy to keep a refrigerator running. The District starts at $7,800 and is eligible for a 10% federal tax credit.

What to Look For When Buying an Outdoor Sofa Set
The outdoors is a whole other ball game when it comes to furniture. Aside from searching for a sofa solely based on style (although there are some very cute minimalist and boho sofa sets in here), there are a couple of other important factors to consider such as storage: how do these sofa sets break down for the offseason? Weather resistance: will this set last you a few seasons or a lifetime? Size: how many people do you want this sofa set to fit? And of course, price. Ahead, you can shop our top options from affordable brands like Amazon and The Home Depot to more designer names like West Elm. Keep reading for more.
