If you’re sick or injured you get seen pretty quickly.
As someone else put it - the system is really good at solving acute problems and saving your life.
Keeping you healthy - that’s more up to you (than it should be). It’s not close to perfect but I’d pick it any day over whatever it is in Lake Americaland.
Probably because they used to be part of education machine for how dangerous guns were - and that, by far, firearm fatalities from suicide account for over half (58% in 2023) of gun deaths.
But now, with an administration that politicizes everything - and ignores any evidence of facts that dispute their goals - they’re turning the tables.
Note: am not American and also own several firearms. Was surprised when taking our country’s requisite firearms safety course that the overwhelming focus was on self harm and reduction of those risks. (And since we’re here - it’s shocking how many gun owners immediately assume I’m far right leaning just because I’m next to them at the range with a firearm in my hands; no friend healthcare IS WAY more important than this tool.)
Based on how good their products have been to date it’s at least in the realm of there being room. I imagine high-end bicycle tires are reasonably high margin and grippy often means high-wear.
With their lube (I’ve been a user of their super secret liquid and hot melt products since they were released and the same with their oil-based product for wet weather/mtb) any price difference is offset by how long the products last - and that’s ignoring just how well they work.
Abbey Tools found a way to sell out ultra-high end wheel building stands when perfectly competent dirt cheap solutions are in full supply.
And then we have bike brands realizing they can’t just sell $10k+ bikes anymore.
His album Reborn got me through some tough times and reducing him to DJ in the article title downplays the effect he had on other musicians.
Wildly talented producer.
Sombr’s excellent 12 to 12 reeks of Kavinsky and I think of him every time I hear that song. So much so I had to check the production credits when I first heard it.
The article’s headline is part of the problem: world faces another environmental disaster…
“oh it’s in Oman, I don’t know where that is, probably deserved it” (capitalist stooge probably)
Edit: not sure if people are understanding my point: any oil spill is a global problem. We’re all in this together. I think a fair number of people wouldn’t be able to point out Oman on a map.
They’re are incredible for everyday cycling AND if you use a floor pump.
They are terrible with hand pumps. Here’s why: with presta valve the pump head usually grips onto the valve stem (not the valve core). With a click valve, you only use the exposed click core.
It can break off when you’re trying to hand pump a tire in the field. If you use a battery powered pump (as is all the rage these days) click valves are great. If you use an hand pump, it’s very easy to break the clik valve in half. A ruined ride is how I discovered this.
If it happens to you, you can rip out the spring and pin and use a t-10 driver, tapped into the remain part of the clik valve core to remove it from the valve stem.
I went back to presta.
While the problems clik fixes are real, and it’s a joy most of the time, in my opinion the failure mode is so much worse.
I was about to outfit 12 bikes with clik when this happened to me. Saved me some money and possibly a lot of pain. Long rides with hand pumps are my jam.
Clik is still a great option for a lot of cyclists.
I have the same kit and it’s pretty great for all Shimano-style bleeding (shimano, tektro, TRP and more).
OP if you have a modern SRAM brakes with a bleeding edge port, their bleeding edge tool is a godsend and you can buy it independently of their full bleed kits (and use it with this ez-MTB kit).
I don’t have experience with Hayes, Hope or Magura brakes.
The author intends to work at their pace, on their time, with no interaction with the public projects.
Likely, and this is supposition, a small group of developers connected on the network itself will push the project forward where pushes are needed but they may not be.
But also, the very rare and important consideration that, in their words, “Everything you need is right here, and by any sensible measure, it's done. Anyone who wants to invest the time, skill and persistence can build on it, or completely re-imagine it with different priorities.”
Canadian. Recently injured, reasonably severely.

Oops. You’re technically correct, the best kind of correct. I’ve updated my link.

Interesting for sure.
Now that is truly incredible engineering. Thanks for sharing!
It also sounds like a horrifying accident.
A lot of the information (or stories or both) used song to make it easier to pass down.
A corn dog sea shanty might be the cure to what ails ‘ya.
Devastated.

Also, turns out when you stop trying to understand what’s under the hood of what you’re selling, your org is addicted to LLMs. Exactly to plan.
Ruh-roh. You’re gonna hate steam.

Fresh sourdough or brioche (though any fresh bread will do) and Piave.
Society is always changing. We have a choice in how we change it.
These technocrats are so entitled they don’t GAF about consent. “If you’d only relax you’d see how great it feels.”
I recently switched off of click valves.

We’ve been using a ratgdo for years. Spectacular.

We were chamberlain users who got locked out of their API using homebridge.
This little esp32 device worked a treat.
It’s been pretty reliable. On one or two occasions we’ve had to reboot the device after a power blip but overall it’s been excellent.
We 3D printed our own enclosure for it too.
