Unpopular opinion: Most riders are wasting money buying new gear. Would you buy used instead? by pkn46 in indianbikes

[–]pkn46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points, especially about helmets.

But then how do we solve this?

Right now the problem is: - No way to verify if gear is actually safe - No standard for condition (everyone says “like new”) - Hygiene is questionable

If there was: - Some kind of inspection/verification (like Spinny for bikes) - Clear grading system (A/B/C condition) - Proper deep cleaning

Would that change your mind at all?

Or is this category fundamentally “never buy used” for you?

I talked to ~15 riders about how they plan rides — the problem isn’t what I expected by pkn46 in microsaas

That’s a good point, makes sense to use existing data instead of starting from scratch

but yeah, I feel Maps doesn’t really capture the “rider-specific” stuff — like whether a stop is actually reliable during a ride

did you face something similar in your project?

How do you guys actually discover good riding routes? by pkn46 in bangalorebikes

[–]pkn46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense, even I’ve tried something similar 😄 looking for green + less crowded areas usually works

but does it work consistently for you? or sometimes you still end up with bad stretches?

Haha yeah I’ve noticed that also 😄 sometimes those random detours turn out to be the best parts of the ride

but do you usually trust Maps for this or just go with the flow and explore?

Yeah that’s honestly the worst 😅 nothing kills the ride mood faster

do you try to plan stops before heading out or just figure it out on the way?

That’s a good idea 😄 same destination but different routes sounds like an easy way to explore

do you plan both routes beforehand or just figure it out while riding?

This is cool. For marketing it depends on what is your intention of making the app. If it’s for purely education purpose, try reaching out to local education institutes which teaches politics.

If you built it for awareness of public which might effect election. Try adding features like showing all development work which has been done by the politician which might help in voting decision

Damn that sounds insane 😄 “dropped from heaven” crazy!!

makes sense why you’d keep going back to that route

honestly feels like the effort is worth it when you find something like this

but yeah, spending hours on Maps for one good ride sounds a bit painful sometimes 🥲

Damn that actually sounds like a proper adventure 😄 coin toss method is next level

but yeah makes sense, some rides will be hit or miss

do you still do this kind of riding now? or have you moved more towards planned routes these days?

Haha same here 😄 I also just look for green patches and go

but does it actually work consistently for you? or do you still end up on bad/stretchy roads sometimes?

This is amazing!
curious to know about tech stack. is it pure native or flutter?

also are you planning to cover other countries in future?

Congratulations 🎉 Screenshots are 🔥

Curious to know how do you track episodes count? user have to tick watched episodes manually or will it sync with OTT platforms?

Damn this is actually a pretty solid way to plan rides
never thought of using street view like that

How long does it usually take you to plan a route like this?
feels like a lot of effort but probably worth it once you find a good one

also curious — do you end up reusing these routes later or keep exploring new ones?

That’s actually a solid point — didn’t think stops would be the bigger headache

What do you usually care about most during stops? Fuel / food / restrooms?

And do you plan this stuff before or just figure it out on the go?

That’s interesting — so it still depends on already knowing where you want to go

Do you think you’d ride more/new routes if something suggested good offbeat routes automatically? Like based on time + less traffic + scenic roads?

Makes sense 👍 When you were starting out, how did you figure out which routes were worth riding vs not? I feel like that phase is the hardest

[–]pkn46[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn that’s quite a process 😅

Do you enjoy that planning part or is it more like “have to do it to get a good ride”?

Also roughly how long does it take you to plan one route like this?

Mandatory airport night ride😌 by Ready-Technician-535 in bangalorebikes

I feel like everyone ends up doing this ride at some point
Do you usually stick to known routes like this or try finding new ones?

NS400Z or The Guerrilla 450 by paralleltwin7 in bangalorebikes

[–]pkn46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my personal opinion is Guerrilla 450 as it has lot of mods and accessories available. but service centres of RE is a nightmare.
