I’ve always wanted to skate around my local grocery store. Unfortunately, I feel like they might not appreciate me trying that. 😁

Just one is fine, and has never thrown me off balance. I love Ortliieb panniers (love the build quality), but really anything will do if you like and it works for you.

I’ve always thought they were a neat idea, but at the same time, I don’t know anyone (myself included) who would want their bike beholden to over-the-air firmware updates and such. >.<

Amsterdam police on Tuesday said their telephone lines were being flooded with customers complaining of “theft” because they paid for bikes that have not been delivered or because they have bikes being repaired at the company’s stores, which are now closed.

“The police cannot do anything for customers, regardless of how distressing this may be,” a police statement said.

I do wonder about the people whose bikes are being held hostage at closed repair shops.

I feel like electric “bicycles” are fundamentally missing the point of a bicycle.

I think the point of a bicycle varies from person to person. 🙂

Thank you for the response! I had begun to wonder about this too, since I’ve seen a few examples of it in passing.

Nice bike! Those racks/boards on the back look pretty versatile.

I hadn’t ever looked at VanMoof’s website, and I was only vaguely aware of them. As soon as I went to their website and I saw them advertising that their bikes receive “over the air updates,” I suddenly understood why they are going bankrupt.

Their bikes look really nice, and who knows? Maybe they’re nice to ride, too. I’ll just say they’re not for me.

That’s awesome!

That must’ve been a fun ride! Well done.

I’ll take the bike over the boat any day. :D

That’s a good deal! I’m glad that DB and Brompton are offering that promotion.

Thank you! This is really interesting.

I’d imagine it being very hot to ride in front of a dragon. He doesn’t breathe fire, does he? ;-)

Hehehe, nice!

what action would need to happen for Israel to stop expanding/encroaching (pick your connotation based on your leaning) and maintain the current boundary lines?

Making U.S. aid to Isreal conditional to their stopping the “settlement” of Palestinian areas.
