Tern's Newest GSD Cargo Bike Now Has Antilock Brakes

With all that said, my family and I are year-round riders and live in Portland, Oregon. I live in terror that something will happen to my kids on my bike and there have been multiple times on rainy winters on hills when I have forced my much spouse to switch bikes and ride with the kids because he's much bigger than I am and I was scared. If this is you, then you need ABS brakes. This would've allayed my fears quite a bit. If safety is also one of your primary concerns, the S10 also meets the DIN 79010, the German safety standard that's the only cargo bike standard that exists. The newly reinforced frame was tested under the DIN 79010 and verified to be safe carrying up to 463 pounds. Other components, like the rear rack, kickstand, and braking system are all tested under the DIN 79010, which is important because you don't want the kickstand to collapse or fall while you're strapping your baby into her Thule seat. My kids are now 7 and 10 and ride their very own nice mountain bikes, but I did load up the panniers with mulch and wood chips and ride up and down the steepest hill in my neighborhood with about a 10 to 15 percent grade, and I felt pretty secure about its stopping power. If my kids were still pretty small, paying for ABS brakes would be a good way to extend the use of the bike through the rain. Long-Lived Photograph: Adrienne So With the smart system, you're also paying for GPS tracking if it's stolen, locks, the Bosch eBike Flow app that connects to your phone, and customizable drive settings, so you can tweak the power settings for Eco, Tour, Sport, and Turbo. This is important, because I have had a double battery mounted on my old Tern for so long that I forgot that the range on this is quite small. A 12-mile ride at over 20 mph depleted the battery to 50 percent in less than an hour, and I am a relatively small person (115 pounds). I would immediately put a double battery on this if you are considering it as a commuter. The Tern has a Kiox 300 Bosch display, which is easy to scroll through, but with the Flow app I would also probably just pop it off (you can pop it off!) and put my phone on a bike mount. This may be a little hard to swallow: The bike costs $7,000, and that's just the starting point. You will need another battery, and I guarantee you are going to want accessories, especially if you have a kid. Tern's accessories are unmatched, especially if you have kids. I have a Storm Box, which protects my kids while riding in the rain. You can also put on a Sun Shield to protect your kids from the sun or an integrated TowBar so you can easily add a trailer.

Is This Market-Thumping Stock-Split Stock a Buy Right Now With $10,000?

Stock splits might drive a lot of attention from investors, but they don't change anything fundamentally about a business. There's a thriving niche retailer that just implemented a massive stock split, which could continue its impressive historical share price gains. Instead of buying $10,000 worth of stock at once, dollar-cost averaging might be a better idea. 10 stocks we like better than O'Reilly Automotive › It's not a surprise that investors want to own companies whose stocks soar. However, an issue can arise when a business has done so well over a long period of time that its share price becomes nominally high. This makes it extremely difficult for investors with small sums of capital to buy whole shares. Here's where a stock split comes into play (more on this below). Investors looking to put money to work in the market appreciate these rare opportunities because it could lead to strong portfolio gains. There's greater excitement surrounding a particular company. There's one dominant retail stock that has climbed 509% just in the past decade, crushing the S&P 500 index. And it's up 14% in 2025 (as of June 10). Plus, it just put in place a massive stock split. Should you buy the business with $10,000 right now? It's important that investors first develop a basic understanding of how exactly a stock split works. Boards of directors and executive teams want shares of their companies to be accessible to the most investors, as this can grow demand. A stock split is conducted to artificially lower the stock price. On the flip side, there is a proportionate increase in the number of outstanding shares. On March 13, O'Reilly Automotive's (NASDAQ: ORLY) board of directors voted to approve a 15-for-1 stock split. Shareholders also approved this decision, and the stock split was implemented on June 10. O'Reilly's share price went from about $1,350 to $90 overnight. O'Reilly's outstanding share count expanded by a factor of 15, while the stock price was divided by 15. While a stock split gets a lot of attention from investors, it's worth pointing out that nothing changes with the company on a fundamental or operational basis. Undergoing a stock split won't change O'Reilly's corporate strategy, revenue, profits, or market cap. This fact can get lost in all the noise. Shares of O'Reilly have significantly outperformed the broader index in the past decade. If we zoom out further, the numbers are even more impressive. Since the company's initial public offering in April 1993, the stock has skyrocketed 56,350%. This must be a wonderful business if it has taken care of its shareholders like that. As of March 31, O'Reilly had 6,416 stores (6,298 in the U.S.) that sell aftermarket auto parts, like brakes, batteries, and motor oil, to both DIY customers and professional mechanics. What's noteworthy about this business is that demand is relatively stable. In both good and bad economic times, consumers need the stuff that O'Reilly sells. That's because having a working automobile is an urgent need for people that's not up for negotiation. People tend to drive more in robust economic times, increasing wear and tear on cars. And when there's a recession, these consumers might hold off on buying a new vehicle, instead choosing to spend money maintaining their existing cars. This supports demand. O'Reilly generates meaningful profits. It raked in $2 billion in free cash flow in 2024, before reporting $455 million in Q1. The leadership team has a history of plowing this cash into share buybacks. Just in the last five years, O'Reilly's diluted outstanding share count was reduced by 24%, which boosts earnings per share. However, the valuation isn't cheap. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 33.3. This is 38% more expensive than the trailing-10-year average. My view is that investors should wait for a pullback before adding this outstanding company to their portfolios. If you're bullish on O'Reilly, then I can understand why a dollar-cost average strategy might make sense to buy $10,000 of this stock-split stock over the next year or so.

109th Indy 500 wide open

The Indianapolis 500 is clearly the most prestigious and important motorsports event on the planet. IndyCar drivers and teams will go to the greatest extremes to win the 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing' and the dramatic events leading up to Sunday's 109th running of Indianapolis 500 has made 2025 perhaps the most wide open and unpredictable race in many years. The recent series of events and resulting penalties surrounding the once favored Penske Team has elevated the unpredictably of the 2025 Indy 500 to highest levels in recent years. Advertisement Many of the sports betting organizations have been all over the board in their recent predictions on the 2025 Indy 500 winner. Early in the week, BetMGM predicted Pato O'Ward as the favorite at +500. He's followed closely by Alex Palou (+600), Scott McLaughlin (+700), Scott Dixon (+700) and two-time defending Indy 500 champ Josef Newgarden (+1000). It's interesting that rookie Indy 500 pole winner Robert Shwartzman, with his rookie status factored in, has only a 16th-best odds to win at +2500, along with Santino Ferrucci and Colton Herta. Most of the betting gurus rate veterans Scott Dixon, Takuma Sato, Will Power and Alexander Rossi high on their lists as possible winners. Scott McLaughlin, Colton Herta, Felix Rosenqvist, Marcus Ericsson, Christian Lundgaard and Kyle Kirkwood are given favorable chances by most oddsmakers. NASCAR star Kyle Larson, who is again attempting to do the 'Double' by racing at the Indy 500 and the Charlotte Coke 600 later in the day, has seen his odds of winning slip considerably after two practice crashes. Advertisement How will the penalties placing Team Penske's Josef Newgarden and Will Power on the last row to start the 109th 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing' this Sunday? All these questions will be answered and the winner decided when the smoke clears over the 'World's Greatest Race Course' on Sunday afternoon. Maybe that's why the Indy 500 has rightfully earned the title of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
