Weekend at Sammy’s

Up to 900+ I see.

This is just a great opportunity for a poor person to rent their phone out, you gotta look for the silver lining in the capitalism!

The cat is a FUCKING LIAR

I figure we’re going to see the first chapter from The Ministry for the Future at some point. This is getting close.

There’s a big difference between “UK e-bike owners” and “Bosch powered UK e-bike owners”

You don’t have the holes for it

If I was gonna pile on a bit, I’d take a grab of the fact that there’s a kickstand on this full suspension eMTB. Then I’d circle it in red to make it obvious.

“Super powerful motor” is a shimano EP8. Puts out 85nm. Like every other EP8 bike.

Ah yeah, I know what you’re referring to, and yes I think you’re right, it’s daily and I don’t think as effective but when your options are limited by insert rant about US “healthcare” here probably better than nothing.

To your last point, according to Hari, generics for semaglutide should be available in 2032.

You mean his sons?

You need to read Magic Pill by Johann Hari. There are pros and cons and he is very good at explaining both sides.

I’m a MTBer, not a runner, but this comic has always stuck with me. Is it always fun? Hell no. Do I get an immense amount of satisfaction doing it? Absolutely

My cardiologist made me do a treadmill stress test a year or two ago. My knees hurt for the next month. I told them next time I’ll do it on a bike or I won’t do it at all.

I couldn’t jog half a mile without my knees killing me; on the other hand, I biked more than 500 miles this month.

No cable locks. Bad, and you get what you deserve.

Something that’s a pain in the ass to cut. Nothing is impossible to cut, but a decent u-lock, good chain, good folder, is the way to go. if you are regularly locking up in a specific place, you might be able to leave a heavier lock (chain) there and not have to haul it around.

Something noisy. A brake disc alarm, or two of them, that go off with movement. Getting attention is good.

If it’s an e-bike, take the battery with you.

My goal is to make stealing my bike more of a pain than moving on to the next bike, probably secured with a cable lock from Walmart. It might take five minutes to steal my bike and 20 seconds to steal the next guy’s, about all you can really do.

Finally, have insurance. This world is full of fucking assholes.

If you thought Breakfast™ (especially with the Bacon™ DLC) was good, just wait for the sequels.
