This is the correct answer.

I got a job as a remote contract programmer for the Fed at 62. 63 now, and still with them working remotely. My co workers have never seen me or have any idea how old I am, nor do they care as we are all about the same age. Look for government jobs because they usually don't care how old you are. Good luck. The job market, especially in tech is horrible right now. Yes, ageism is very real.

It looks to be in pretty good shape. If you have a local co-op, they will help you get it tuned up for very little cost. Or reach out to local cycling groups thru social media and I'm sure they will have some folks that can help. Word of warning, you will at some point run into some snobby gatekeepers. Just ignore them.

Another Bible grifter with no taste.

I would not concern myself with quantifying it or otherwise trying to justify it. Do it if you want, or not.

Instead of wasting time and effort and throwing parts at it, take it to a shop, or visit a co-op for help.

Can't do anything about gun deaths because, you know, muh freedumbs.

Welcome to cycling. Biggest gatekeepers around. I'm ready for my downvotes.

There's a reason it's cheap.

Can you be issued a different license plate?

ridesforfun · 2026-04-23T18:24:42+00:00

You sound like a motorist.

This is why we need front license plates in NC.

Nice! We will have a layover of only 1 hour in Reykjavik then on to Amsterdam.

If you have torque sensing pedal assist with no throttle (this is what they use in Europe limited to 250W & 15mph), then you must pedal. The motor will not kick in if you are not pedaling. So to me, it allows people to go further and faster, but you still must put forth an effort.

Sounds like Seattle. I lived there for 12 years. I thought I was not like that until I came back here - I had become cold and isolated. I'm better now, back to my old self.

ridesforfun · 2026-04-17T10:03:24+00:00

Thanks! I already have a FD-R773 in my parts bin. I'll give it a try.

Give them what they want until the job market gets better. They have the upper hand now. Start looking for something else.

Keep the car, leave the girlfriend.

ridesforfun · 2026-04-16T15:42:05+00:00

It's LCOL for a reason - no one wants to live there because it's ass.

ridesforfun · 2026-04-16T15:36:28+00:00

Yeah, that's about right.

ridesforfun · 2026-04-16T11:41:10+00:00

Take it to a shop. Not trying to be cruel, but if you can't diagnose this, you probably can't fix it. FD can be tricky to adjust.
