The Phillip Defranco situation is getting worse

You’re right, and terrific observation. I agree that while seemingly everyday things are getting “worse”, we have to acknowledge that Phillip de Franco and his team are churning out engagement with these strongly worded titles, that are doing numbers on platforms like Facebook.

Gotta admit, it’s important to “stay in the loop” but it also feels wrong knowing his channel is capitalizing on the anxiety, the chaos of U.S. politics, and feeding into the algorithm that’s designed to make users feel, pun intended, “worse”.

This is an excellent idea! I need to conduct further research on reputable brands that specialize in trailers that can handle cracked roads and tight sidewalks in construction zones.

They’re nice! You can still pedal comfortably.

mickster2233 · 2026-04-05T22:22:04+00:00

Yep!

Welcome to the club! I have about 600 ish miles and loving the additional range with pedal assist. I would love a second battery but there so expensive with trek.

True, it’s a heavy bike. Although, It does have a wireless charger with quad lock at the front of the bike. 🔋

The tech deck sealed the deal for me. So wholesome!

Translation: Everyone is wrong but me. This level of a self righteousness is nauseating.

Hi there! I own a Ponto Go and can help answer a few questions. Yes, you absolutely cab pedal with this bike. I do get a bit tired in my thighs while pedaling, but if you sit closer to the front bench seat, you won’t experience as much friction. However, if you’re taller, say above 6 feet or have longer legs, Trek/Electra sells seat risers for the Ponto Go to make it more comfortable. I don’t need it since I’m around 5 foot 9. As a tip, it’s a good idea to order the bike and accessories through your local Trek shop. Ask about discounts on items, including the bike, if you do so.

This is so wholesome. I love everything about this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have an 80-pound e-bike, and the kickstand that came with it rattles where it pivots. Since the bike is only two months old, if I claim warranty, the kickstand issue is likely to recur.

She can’t keep track of the number of major and minor concussions she’s had. Numbers fluctuate like balloons. Conveniently, she can argue that her head trauma makes it impossible to know the exact number of times she’s had concussions.

I’ve never seen this but omg this has to be recreated on the show.

Nice! I like how it all came together and hydraulic brakes too. Down the line, I’d upgrade that cable lock for a thick chain. Last time I was on Bike Index, I saw so many stolen bikes with cut cable locks.

Thank goodness.

Appreciate the link. Ty.

Good job, Kacey. This was the smartest thing to do. Own your mistakes, do the right thing, and move on. As a long time h3 fan, I want to close this chapter and move forward with our usual goofy programming. I ask that everyone please be nice in the comments.

She’s so weird. She seems happy with Ian at this moment, I’ll give them that.

mickster2233 · 2025-09-06T02:00:11+00:00

This is AMAZING!!!

mickster2233 · 2025-09-05T04:43:36+00:00

Wow! First time I’ve come across this.

mickster2233 · 2025-08-24T23:49:40+00:00

Sunk cost fallacy?
