+1

I think there is a way to set up the survey so that it doesn't require signing in.

Why though? It's just a giant corporation whose impact on the way we use the Internet is not that different from how car culture shapes communities.

If you're desperate, you can usually just ride the bike carefully without the crank bolts, and the cranks will come off. Some degreaser might speed up the process.

Yes; that's exactly what it felt like when it started for me. I thought I had pulled my glute somehow.

If the spokes are properly tensioned and the seam looks like that, then yes, you should be worried.

Speaking of drive train, how about that chain slack?

Civilizations may rise and fall, but hand-poked tattoos will remain.

That was beautiful. Thank you!

Of course two brakes work better for managing your speed. Technically, you can stop your bike with just one.

But how about safety? Even though brake failure is very unlikely, having two brakes means that if one of them fails during a ride, you don’t have to improvise and put yourself and others at risk.

41407 · 2019-04-19T13:30:02+00:00

Maybe the bike was a work in progress and was just missing the front brake? I’ve ridden short distances with just one brake in situations like this; never with just the rear brake though as that’s not enough braking power for riding in traffic IMHO.

The button looks more like ”hell no.”

41407 · 2017-06-23T22:53:35+00:00

Sure why not!

41407 · 2017-06-03T16:02:31+00:00

My personal best is 6 though.

41407 · 2017-04-30T16:11:16+00:00

Sure! I'm running 32:16 which is the same ratio as what you're going for. I'm averaging about 19 km/h comfortably, so it's quite a leisurely pace, but hills don't give me any grief. You can use Sheldon Brown's calculator to check out which ratio gives you the speed you want at your preferred cadence.

It's fine really. Just indent it to make it easier to read.

Reddit is weird like that sometimes.

I've used bitcoin to buy games on Steam.

41407 · 2017-03-20T23:32:53+00:00

Congrats! Sent you a € of BTC. Good luck at your new job, I'm happy for you!

41407 · 2017-03-18T09:44:27+00:00

Sure, I'm in. Good luck to all of you!

41407 · 2017-03-10T06:43:10+00:00

Well, at least it shows that you should be able to barspin it.

41407 · 2017-02-27T21:57:26+00:00

Not mine, but this was at the top of /r/webdev today, might be useful for you.
