kind of a weird premise. GPS is a locating technology. a map is a visual representation, 2 or 3 dimensional, at a reduced scale, of a physical place. maps on a phone or tablet are amazing, essentially limitless with far more types of information available than one could ever have hoped to carry...

it’s an interesting discussion … but i think you’re missing the point of torque specs on modern bike parts. it isn’t entirely about the fastener - it’s the clamping (or other force) requirement or LIMIT of the design of the parts, e.g. a carbon stem, or aluminum whatever. it’s actually more...

I don’t really but that all people have a similar “threshold” of discomfort or pain for the length of the hex key digging into their hands. torque specs also vary a decent amount for same sized-fasteners on modern bikes, especially carbon fiber ones. in the ballpark, maybe. correct? No. torque...

LA has spent over $40 Billion in recent decades on rail transit, has another $120 billion planned, and ridership has recovered post pandemic better than most cities in the country. no other American city is doing as much to try and reduce their dependence on the automobile at this scale. it is...

that's part of it - and of course they have insurance - but the bigger part is actually that if you put your kid behind the wheel of a 5,000lb SUV and they get hit by a car, the likely result is basically an annoyance. you get the car fixed, maybe pay your deductible, etc. if your kid is...

I suggested a bike very close to his wish list. Oddly, no reply.

what garmin device are you referring to?

i’ve heard good things about those pedals! i’m a speedplay guy and wasn’t as excited about their power pedal. the 100g weight difference was meaningful on my aethos and i wanted the two bikes to have the same setup, even though the weight wouldn’t matter as much on the e-ride. the good thing...

yep! they have a couple variants now that are a little heavier / cheaper.

Riese and Mueller homage is one of the few full suspension, step through, reputable bikes. Stock tires are 27.5 x 2.25, not sure about a throttle. There are no-name step through FS bikes that surely have throttles, but i wouldn’t trust my body on them at 20+ mph. Rear suspensions are complicated...

the old specialized app was just a little cranky, occasionally disconnecting for almost any user. i did hundreds of rides with the old one and it happened twice or maybe three times. screen on, off, focus, motor assist on or off, nothing really mattered or mattered enough to discern a pattern...

that’s crazy - threatening students, or a school, across state lines no less isn’t illegal?

hopefully the superintendent calls both DHS and FBI, and hopefully those morons make at least one more call while those agencies are still able to do something.

its $18.07/hr here - and still a significant shortage of service industry workers.

i’m guessing not. from what i gather it wasn’t a strong seller (great bike, small niche?) and they’re focusing on the solace.

the “uneducated” native born are not willing to work at the rates that the jobs they’re qualified for pay. there are huge labor shortages across service industry and other sectors. we *do* need people to do those jobs, at least for the next 10 years or so. at some point it’ll all be automated...

didn’t they get subtitles in trainspotting? 🤣

there was a bit of discussion about that article on another cycling forum. with mostly recreational/sport riders who still drive everywhere else, i suppose i shouldn’t have been surprised how many agreed with that premise. i do not think it’s true - or at least almost never true - but it is...

of the 1b+ global speakers of english, my experience (globally) is that about 95% understand each other. then again, my experience only includes most of the united states, the UK, continental europe, chile, peru, india, china, australia, new zealand…. the only regional variations of english...

nice!! i’ve really liked the syncros one piece cockpit. really cleans up the lines of the bike, saves a little weight, and has the right amount of flex for road riding. i have an alpinist one piece on my non-e road bike, and i actually prefer the flat top on the syncros piece. of course the...
