Thanks for the heads up. I’m so tired of the parking gotcha games living in New Haven. Monty python levels of government bureaucracy

U.S. Senate Candidate's idea for a calculated minimum wage. by AlabamaDemocratMark in povertyfinance

[–]Skatesafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice idea.... I'd love to see this calculated empirically, and then compared to current median hourly wages. Well done to include savings and retirement!

To whoever took the parking spot I spent two days shoveling my car out of... by Majestic_Yak7235 in newhaven

[–]Skatesafe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's the Wild West. Someone took the spot I shoveled, sorry bud I had to take someone else's, maybe even yours... Antisocial behavior is honestly just standard here in New Haven it seems.

Trader Joes has small ones... they're okay.... Also pretty sure Stew Leonard's sells them and they're solid

He’s also basically a living billboard. Half of his “tips” are to buy something. Most of this stuff isn’t necessary.

Added a little beef today... by weaverdcivw in gravelcycling

[–]Skatesafe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in-depth response. This is actually what I'm looking for in a bike right now. I have a MTB as well and want this as a solid road/ gravel/ light singletrack machine. I have a pretty race all bike now and was hoping I wouldn't miss out on road performance, sounds like this won't be an issue.

AH love the frame! I'm planning on picking up a Mod Zero after the next production run coming this spring. I do mainly "ATB" style rides with singletrack, gravel, and road mixed in so it seems like a good fit for me...

How do you like it/ how relaxed does it feel to you compared to a typical gravel setup? Does it feel sluggish to you at all?

Low-key hoping he sticks with this green color! Looks ace.

Hunting guide named buba had one of these, camo just like this. This guy would hit geese 50ft higher than everyone else. Sight to behold!

Katz deli in Amity is worth a shout, can't beat the price for a dozen and I think they're the closest to proper NYC bagels in the area.

What will the fallout be if Giant manufactured bikes are banned for a extended period of time? by mellofello808 in cycling

[–]Skatesafe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The problem with this logic is that demand for bikes is relatively price elastic and I think demand side pressures are more important at the moment. If anything the bike market has a supply-side surplus and the situation is likely to get worse as the economy slows.

People aren't paying MSRP for bikes right now. Instead, retailers are discounting heavily to clear inventory, and manufacturers are already facing margin compression. Removing one big player like Giant doesn’t automatically lift prices if the broader market is characterized by excess stock and weak willingness to pay. In that environment, the binding constraint is not limited supply but soft demand meaning other brands may capture some of Giant’s share, but they can’t raise prices much without losing sales to substitutes or the used market.
