    global warming

    I believe that industrial humanity is now impacting global climate. This has become obvious. What to do about it is not obvious. China has like a thousand coal plants and bring one or two additional a week on line. The West has done massive work, both in industry and with hearts and minds...

    Hydra ! My Turn

    It all depends on where you ride. But even the best surfaces have bad spots so I believe in FS all the time for everybody. It's just better. HOWEVER ... people need to learn how to adjust their suspensions. This is a deep mystery to most people which is too bad as the info is out there and...

    Ramp to basement

    That first step is a doozy. You might want to be down that first step as you start the bike down the ramp. Also I agree with PedaLuma on getting well acquainted with walk mode before you ever try to make it up the ramp in walk mode. Walk mode is very different depending on what gear you have...
