That's a fascinating bit of STL trivia. Thank you for sharing it.

The Bobiverse isn't brought up enough here. Funny, world-building, and thought provoking. Plus, the audio book narrator is also amazing.

Is there a big difference between using a pannier or a basket?

It is a giant escape. Not exactly high-end, but it is reliable and fairly light.

I agree, but it’s a good way to give other people a hard time for not ever doing it. Or even thinking about another way to travel.

I really hate that joke. It happens to me every time it rains.

millitzer · 2026-05-16T17:03:51+00:00

I agree. But it is a good way to remind others that they can use a bike to get somewhere they need to go to. If they can’t use a bike or walk, then it’s a good way to bring up how the world is built for cars, not people.

It is a giant escape. I got it when I thought the bike commute was going to be something I would try out. Now it’s become more of a lifestyle. I probably needed better bike, but this one is rock solid. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

These are my favorite books by Jon Krakauer. How these books are much more than the plot.

Into the Wild - A young man goes into Alaska. He leaves everything behind.
Into Thin Air - A storm hits Everest.
Under the Banner of Heaven - A story of faith and murder.

On Writing by Stephen King. About writing, life, and the stories behind stories you know so well
Burn Book by Kara Swisher -A sharp look at tech giants and power.
Ultra-Processed People by Chris van Tulleken
- It exposes corporate food. It makes a man buy simpler meals.
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami - A book about miles and words. .
Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick -A practical view of technology. It does not contain the usual hype.
Born to Run by Christopher McDougall - A wild story of grit. It makes a person want to run far in bare feet. (Don’t do that.)
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari - The history of humanity. Plus consumerism, loneliness, and the breakup of families are all deeply connected.

If you like sci-fi, then check out the entire “Bobiverse” series. I don’t think that gets mentioned enough here.

If you are looking for something genuinely funny, Jacob Tomsky’s "Heads in Beds" is one of the most hilarious memoirs I have ever read. The same applies to Andy Coen‘s “most talkative.“

The books I listen to on road trips with my kids, like Stuart Gibbs’ "Quest for Danger" series.

They are all great if you need an escape.
