So, people, I have a question. It's more about electric for people with really.

How can I work out how hard it will be to get up a hill? Is there a formula, a rule of thumb? Like pedal assist makes a 6% feel like a 3% or anything like that?

I'd like some idea of how much it will help me get out and about locally before I spend thousands. But I don't know how to know? There's no showroom or hire anywhere near, so test ride is not an option.

"Before the pandemic, Lucy Keighley ran a gym, worked as a personal trainer and went on gruelling, exhilarating runs. But after three and a half years of illness, she isn’t sure she will ever recover"

This is from posting pretty much solely on , and related conditions and to a lesser extent chronic illness in general, which shows it is possible to build up followings on them, in case people either gave up on them or never tried.

I hate how ableist activists can be.

I constantly see things like ''if you're not going to protests for this issue, you're part of the problem'' or ''don't call yourself an ally if you don't do XYZ''.

Like, I can barely get out of bed on a good day, the best I can do is share posts on social media, if that's not ''good enough'' for you go fuck yourself.

From The Sick Times:

" ‘They bungled it:’ NIH documents reveal how $1.6 billion Long Covid initiative has failed so far to meet its goals "

https://thesicktimes.org/2024/05/31/they-bungled-it-nih-documents-reveal-how-1-6-billion-long-covid-initiative-has-failed-so-far-to-meet-its-goals/

This is a long article, an in-depth analysis of the NIH RECOVER research project.

There's a lot of data to absorb. I have not read the whole thing myself yet.
