    This E-Bike With Built-In ChatGPT Is the Epitome of Overblown AI Hype

    At least the voice should be much more human sounding now. TT

    Forums down?

    Okay, I know all about thread drift, but why do you feel it's appropriate or necessary to bring this up here and in the Just for Fun thread? You may know something about the guy from Belarus that I don't, but the guy denies having any political feelings or affiliations. Just because he's from...

    Tire pressure question

    That is theoretically mostly true and it may be something to consider overall, but, within limits, many people won't notice. If peak efficiency is the goal and you don't mind a hard ride, go with max tire pressure. If you want a softer ride, let some air out. TT

    Tire pressure question

    Everything said here is good. Yes, lower the pressure and give it a try. Maybe try 25 psi, see how that works and go up or down from there if necessary. Watch your tread wear patterns and adjust accordingly, if you want. The tires will last a long time regardless. TT

    I'm curious to know about this too. The AWS thing seemed to happen right about the same time, for sure. TT

    Bike storage and roommate life

    I have to agree with that. Is it a 55 sq meter flat or 500 sq meters? Still, this seems like something those two ought to be able to figure out on their own without international intervention. £60 a year is about a dollar a day sorry, it's less than $7 a month, so 25¢ a day, USD, which seems...

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    I'm not shocked but it seems like a feature of very peripheral utility, the target market likely pre-adolescent boys. But, sure, as I said earlier, better to have it and not need it, I suppose. TT

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    SOS is a palindrome as well as an ambigram (reads the same upside-down.) I'm still very skeptical that any bike headlights flash SOS. Seriously, why would they? I would welcome a link to a headlight claiming to do so. The Giant Recon HL 200 mentioned above does not make such a claim...

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    Black bears have a top speed of over 30 mph, so Class 4 recommended? TT

    Bike Light Flash Patterns

    I guess better to have an SOS option and not need it... but when would anyone be likely to use it? When being chased by a bear?? After being run over by a truck?? And how many people know Morse code anyway? Just curious, because a Morse code flashing bike headlight seems to me like a silly...

    It is not Morse code for SOS. TT

    Show Us a Tool

    I found this about 25 years ago in the roadway of an old bridge that was later blown up and replaced. I haven't weighed it, but it's about 12 pounds. It's well established as a go-to solution for a lot of things. It makes square pegs go in round holes! TT

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    American black bears are omnivores. Google it. Attacks on humans are rare but they absolutely do happen. People have died. Google it. Feeding bears in the Smoky Mountains and many other places can put you in jail. Google it. TT

    Bicyclist collides with a bear!

    That is so wrong. You're an idiot and in a lot of places a criminal. I'll try to remember that next time i'm biking on an ice floe. TT

    What's your opinion on the "Idaho Stop" law?

    I might not yell at you, but if it were me wanting to cross the road I'd probably wait to see if you were going to stop before stepping out in front of you. Now, in a parking lot, where cars are doing <4 mph, I'd go ahead. Bottom line though, people in cars, on foot, or on bikes, aren't always...
