Just seeing the discussion on the Kindernays and wanted to give new Kindernays owners a heads up- the oil has to be shipped in from Norway and ordering 5 bottles is the cheapest option due to shopping costs. The total cost including product & shipping for 5 bottles is about $130 USD. Which is...

I think all the rubber necking at highway collisions pretty much exemplifies why: we love a good tragedy. Be it the lions in the roman coliseum to a high speed chase. We like to watch. A writer for Downton Abbey said on a documentary: I get a ton of letters begging the writers to be nice...

A $4,749 Bike Hints at Inflation Peril Looming for U.S. Economy

You guys can talk about all those bands from long ago, but Dead and Company sold out 3 shows at the Hollywood Bowl in 3 minutes (Halloween). If they are playing near you, check them out. They are a great time.

More fun on the Colorado. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/colorado-river-dry/

He never had one. They make it look like he did.

One scam I'm waiting to happen to me is one I read about in my neighborhood: three or more guys ride up on really nice, expensive bikes. One says to a stranger, hey, I've always wanted to buy that bike. Can I ride it? The person sees they all have nice bikes so he lets him ride it. He does...

Hey @pushkar any update on the oil? I'm going to hit the 500 mile mark very soon.

I can comment for my UC Commuter. I have a feeling that this is an evolving process for WW so things will probably change week to week. My shipment was probably end of February. If I remember correctly: 1). Big ass box- like 8x8x3. My delivery guy would only drop it off at the door of my...

This was true in the last century across the board- the Eugenics movement was a racist push that mirrored what Hitler was doing but we did it under the guise of "due process." We claimed Italians were inherently inferior, eastern Europeans too. We also believed we should steralize stupid...

Awesome! You'll be the only source of it in the US so you'll find this bike building hobby you have sidelined as you sell that precious commodity.

The cost for 5 bottles of kindernay oil is 41 Euros, plus 69 Euros for shipping. $132 USD. I'm surprised there's no one in the US selling it so I'm not killed on shipping.

There's a bike lane where cars routinely/lazily park well into the bike lane and it drives me nuts. I keep saying I need to print something out saying don't be surprised if someone keys your car for being a jackass.

Probably! I had a hand grinder and did pour overs.... and cold brew too. I sold a lot of coffee. Normally I roast my own (so the cost is only $8/pound) but didn't have time so I had to buy Starbucks.... Next time I'll drive up and bring a stove and sell food. The Gorge is such a beautiful...

I had a presentation at school by a biologist. She said that it takes about 10,000 generations for an evolutionary adaptation to occur. So for humans, because we live for so long and because of multiple organs and functions, we barely see those changes outside of million year changes. But for...

I enjoyed that blog post. It really explores what we don't know, which is a lot. 80% of California's water goes to farmers, and if you look at the laws going back more than a hundred years, the land owners were granted water rights back then to water that never even existed, and they...

Lucky man! I was at D&Cs last shows at the Gorge (first and only time, sadly, for me). What a great venue! One of my favorites. I try to vend when I can- I sold fresh coffee on Shakedown... it at least paid for the tickets.

One challenge I have is that at 28 mph it gets a little hard to pedal, hold on, and pay attention to my surroundings. At that speed I pedal to get a feel for what is the right gear, then just end up hitting the throttle and enjoying the experience of the motor. I think I need to add pedal...

I just got my UC pro a few weeks ago (see my separate post on it). If you have short legs, def get the medium. If you are used to a road bike, the way you dismount is a little different. There's not a lot of room between the seat and the handlebars to come off the seat and put both feet on...

I just bought a UC Pro and Pushkar noted the 3 speed will not let you go as fast as their IGH offering.
