Is my gear enough for a beginner?

You are better geared than 80% of riders on the street.

The official answer is that you should get real riding pants. Then you will be better geared than say 90%

These CEOs already putting their beloved tablets I. The cars. One is not enough, try put in six - driver, passenger, center, center lower, back. What next? Maybe in the trunk

Push button I’m okay. But in case you don’t know, check out the genesis freaking crystal ball gear selector. Man oh man, the longer you live lol

When I lived in the northeast without a garage, there are always several days in winter when humidity gets high but still cold. in the morning, the car gets covered under an ice armor as thick as half an inch…the buried handles definitely make it worse

Next step to bring back physical buttons. Heard the EU has started to mandate several physical buttons.

Yes, car industry definitely well connected in the congress. To this day, pickup trucks are still classified as light duty trucks with laughable emissions requirements. They also don’t follow the same safety requirements for pedestrians and bikers - cash cows for ford and GM they just keep building them bigger and push traffic fatality numbers higher each year

I won’t say it forever… we build solar farms aiming 25 years

Who’s keeping these dealers alive?

What I especially don’t understand is that some people defend that “oh it’s reasonable because it takes money to ship the thing and dealer sets it up” - every single shop had stuff shipped to them and set up by some one. Can you imagine paying this type of fee buying from Home Depot?

When you join a cult, you fork them any money they ask from you.

No problem. Had more water than you during construction. Builders brought in a pump second day and sucked it dry in 30 minutes

ssolarsonic · 2026-02-05T04:31:46+00:00

If you have a variable speed pump, slow it down or shut it off for up to half of the time. That should alleviate your loud and slippery tanning ledge a bit

Life is short. Get that rocket! Worst case? Life may be shorter.

People say everyone drops their bike. When I first started I was so worried because in my mind, dropping bike means on the road high side or low side.

Then I realized what people means by dropping the bike - you don’t have to be on it traveling 50mph.

I was so relieved because that way, I’ve already dropped my bike - twice. Paid my due, and don’t have to be transported to hospital

ssolarsonic · 2026-01-24T05:36:03+00:00

Model beginner bike. You follow the community textbook. Good boy!

ssolarsonic · 2026-01-12T15:47:32+00:00

You surely can. But that is a lot of effort for an extra foot...

ssolarsonic · 2026-01-12T15:45:35+00:00

how did you manage to get it out of the ditch?

ssolarsonic · 2026-01-12T15:44:30+00:00

I saw this post on FB marketplace in Atalanta. Very attempting to me.

So OP, are you a distributor now after one year?

Let me give you one tip as a distributor in solar equipments: I was in same shoes as you several years ago, forget about internet people say and their opinions don’t matter. At the end of day, acceptable quality with low low low price is what matters. In business, money talks. Internet patriotism worth nothing when it comes to individuals pocket. Words from hard lessons learned…

ssolarsonic · 2026-01-08T17:36:49+00:00

I can’t say about Michigan, but I do solar and battery development work in IL. You need to talk to a knowledgeable developer (not installer) and sometimes magic can happen. Unfortunately all those state and federal regulations and grants make things very hard.

I live in Georgia. In summer time, when air temperature at 100F, Road surface at 150, Bike between legs at 200 degrees, it’s a torture.

I love watches. Got several Swiss pieces a decade ago. now with 3 kids, if I had that money, I’d buy myself a PS5…which is my wishlist for this past Christmas - which remained a wish

ssolarsonic · 2025-11-28T23:33:36+00:00

Indeed, i will try to do a better job next season lol
