Riots over Bingo? I had something going on over the Summer at the Community Center as people were entering for bingo night. I have never seen a group of people in worst shape. These are people you just never see in public. Many can barely walk. They all had two liter bottles of soda, giant bags of chips, and big bags of candy. Red vines were particularly popular. The worst of the worst had stretchy pants. Some people should not be permitted to have stretchy pants in public!

Enid is the owner of that trike. Everyone has their motivations. She happened to get into the middle of a violent race riot in Oakland with clashing sides that seemingly came out of no where with skinheads and Proud Boys. That is the city where the Black Panthers was founded. I think she has PTSD.

Ditto for thong bikinis and men's Speedos. Big beach hazards here in San Diego.

speedos are best hidden under other garments,oth they make good inguinal hernia supporters(or just worn riding on a deserted trail where it is not likely to shock other fellow beings)

I am converting a trike today and needed to confirm something from this video. This video shows the ugliest bike build I have ever seen. It starts when the build is almost finished. The wires! Now that is ugly. A rat's nest.

The guy wraps big ugly wires around the head tube like seven times! This is how that trike turned out yesterday. The owner is so happy after a test ride but I still have it for the final touch of new brakes that arrive tomorrow.

man you have to try.

The intention was to make a watchable video, not a ridable ebike, that's how it's possible. Commissions come from videos...

What is weird is that it is supposed to be a seller's representative's top pro builder in that video and it looks like dog barf.

An ASCII emoji ... ;^} ... is still pretty newfangled for some of us ...

I try to stay at least a half-century up to date.

I know who Taylor Swift is from reading about the phenomena, even in the business pages. But sadly I couldn't identify a Taylor Swift song.

I actually can identify some of her stuff, now. After all the hubbub I found a tayor swift channel and listened for a day or two.
She has obvious talent, works hard, but sounds very much like every other recent pop musician. Meh.

It's the upside down battery that grinds my gears.
The wiring is not something I'm going to complain about incase the hypocrisy police pay me a visit

upside down battery

It will fall out because it seats down, and the bottom is not fully designed to shed water, but to let moisture breathe out.
Look at this build. One guy was budget minded when it came to the price of a zip tie, so he used a garbage twisty on the speed sensor. Oh, count the number and colors of zip ties in the second to final photo and the number of coils of wire. He must have seen that video.

All I can say is, Taylor Swift would NEVER build a bike that way.

Not after I train her.
Actually it would be so cool to make a custom bike for the specific wants and needs of a lovely mega star billionaire.
That poor guy with the bad haircut in the video may suffer PTSD from an early experience where he had sequestered the Christmas trees' wires as a little kid instead of wrapping them all on the outside. If that is the case, let's show some compassion. Poor guy. Put it all out there for the world to see!

Taylor Swift will never build an ebike, so dudes, just Shake it off...
