for a while i used an iPhone 13 mini as my bike computer, while I had a pro max of whatever the latest flavor was for my main carry Phone. it was great, smaller, lighter, OLED screen, get all my calls and texts and zooms and emails and slacks and take pictures and the best cycling apps...

traditionally jerseys have been very brightly colored! the more recent trend towards gravel and mixed riding has merged road-function clothes with the muted colors of mountain bike or traditional outdoor gear. while I appreciate the look, i wouldn’t do it for any ride with the potential for...

you're the one who said to someone who basically said what i said. if you don't want people to say obvious things, don't say things that are wrong and misleading?

i've probably visited about $10b worth of construction sites, never seen anyone use a pickup truck for anything other than getting their gear, crew, pack out boxes, etc to the site. earthwork is done by earth moving equipment and the people in the hole and on the ground aren't driving their...

interesting, maybe mahle has some sort of patent on the integrated connection.

vast swathes of land. not vast numbers of people. land doesn't drive vehicles, people do!

right, that's one of the things that's great about america, vastly diverse geographies and living situations. but most americans live in and around urban areas - the 11 "heartland" states have around 27 million people of which around 35% live outside cities, so you're talking about 9-10 million...

BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED SOMETHING AT WORK and am entertained by this, i think what mr. c was saying is something like this :

huh? what's subpar about dura ace, ultegra, 105 derailleurs and cassettes? and there's no power cable on the latest generation of lightweight hub motors. there's a connector integrated into the dropout. no wires.

are you saying you can't do those things with a rivian or f150 lightning? because i'm not sure what comparing a gas powered to truck to an electric subcompact car means. a chevy bolt does the same things as a corolla or k4 or honda fit. a kia ev9 does the same thing as a kia telluride. one...

that's pretty interesting ! i don't think hubs are dead, at all. there are lots of advantages, not least of which is you can use totally standard bottom bracket, cranks, and all other drivetrain parts, and no load on the chain from the mid-drive. having owned both a low power mid-drive...

must have been a long dinner if it was done halfway through. or a very fast charger ;)

this is definitely a disadvantage of EVs - although depending on your use case, it could be a very, very minor one, or more than offset by not spending any time fueling on a regular basis. the longest road trips we've done have been around 800-1000 miles. you DEFINITELY need to stop more often...

DIRECT subsidy to oil and gas production in the US alone, $34.8 billion in just ONE year. take the bigger numbers with a grain of salt - it's impossible to calculate such things and all sources are biased - but the 34.8B number is pretty simple. about 15M new cars are sold in the US each year...

i don’t really care what goal you assign to anyone, whether they sell milk, computers, or oil. i (and most adults) can do the math and determine if it does save me money, and do my best to assess whether it has other benefits like convenience, fun, social or environmental benefit, etc...

"they" are anyone trying to make money doing anything, because they're all out to get him! "they" also aren't trying to make anyone's lives easier by trashing the global environment with fossil fuel extraction and combustion, lol. people talk about the challenges in electrification as if there...

I’m kind of confused by the actual text of this law compared to what’s been claimed or inferred. where does it say a class three bicycle is an electric motorcycle and requires a drivers license? the new restriction says “exceed 20mph when solely powered by the motor.” maybe there’s another new...

take it easy! It takes time to recover.

it looks like it’s some only attached to one bolt at the frame side of the linkage, and then the seatpost. but it looks like a lot of fussy bits of metal for $500!

incidentally… i don’t think any future shock version will get you what you want. i rode a few and found all very similar. they work great on rough paving like chipseal, the pavé of paris roubaix, or for fast descents on small gravel. not for rocks.
