Can you back that up with facts?

Problem is what to do with the bike when you get to your destination. Take it up to the office? Chain it to a lamp post and hope it’s still there when you come out?

Not sure that qualifies as dumb. What were the guide tubes made of? I wouldn't think you could tighten the ties enough to crush the tube.

. The Rover was a bit too tall - we toppled over standing still and at very low speed. We started with Dutch style cruiser bikes, brand doesn't matter. Very comfortable but big & heavy. Because my personal frame has many years and miles, some of the joints don‘t work like they used to and i...

What? Did you get a drunk AI to write that?

Interesting video about a guy who thwarts a scam. I don’t know any of the players.

In the vintage tool world, that style is known as a bicycle wrench, the B is the size. I have an A size. Can’t read the marks on the dynamic jaw, but the stamp on the static jaw indicates that was probably included in the tool lit of a Pierce Arrow car.

Old comment but i just saw it. Maybe you don’t realize it, but that’s how most car dealer service techs work now. Back in the day the mechanic would dig into the problem, figure out what caused it, and fix it. Now they use the obd scanner and just replace parts, they don’t understand why, and...

You can bet that every ceo had a lucrative compensation package.

What was that metal loop for, that you sawed off? I wonder if a dremel cut off wheel would have been a better choice than a hacksaw

yeah but … the less it looks like a bike, is it going to get all the karens upset about ”those dangerous electric bikes terrorizing the pedestrians”?

Very interesting video. Fantastic technology.

No argument there. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
