I think saying “it takes skill” and “probably requires you to be fit” are contradictory to your point. I would also argue that billiards is technically a sport. Golf is technically a sport.

Have you ever seen the frozen food section of a grocery store?

I am Ferro, a Druid from the once great wilderness outside of your town.

What is the “304” referring to?

Not me! I’ll take a pack of this Chewlie’s gum right here.

My experience in WA and OR has all been 2+ passengers. The bar is low

“Is this a maritime court?”

Oh I see, I’m not familiar with Sync. Do you use that outside of browsing Lemmy?

Where are you getting ads from?

Admittedly I only skimmed the article, but I think one of the major problems with a study like this is how broad “AI” really is. MS copilot is just bing search in a different form unless you have it hooked up to your organizations data stores, collaboration platforms, productivity applications etc. and is not really helpful at all. Lots of companies I speak with are in a pilot phase of copilot which doesn’t really show much value because it doesn’t have access to the organizations data because it’s a big security challenge. On the other hand, a chat bot inside of a specific product that is trained on that product specifically and has access to the data that it needs to return valuable answers to prompts that it can assist in writing can be pretty powerful.

I mean… you can’t reread your comment and tell me you’re not being a little extreme.

I’m curious to know what makes this more of a comfortable ride than if the basket or rack was mounted to the handlebars and fork? I could understand the steering being less “tippy” but I would also guess that there is a reason that racks are almost always mounted to the dropouts and handlebars.

Apologies as this is off topic, but does anyone have suggestions for how to minimize the extremely intrusive advertising that kind of ruins reading articles like these? 2/3rds of my mobile screen is covered with ads. If it matters I’m on iOS and use Chrome for my default mobile browser. I’m aware of the privacy implications of those choices.

Are you also on iPhone? I have the same issue. They’ve always been like this for me.

A lot of us native English speaking cyclists wonder the same thing.

If you can summarize what you’re trying to do with a bike, it’d be a lot easier to recommend the right tool for the job. For most people, a front suspension mountain bike (hard tail) with 100-120mm of travel would do most things they want to do well. I highly suggest looking at the secondary market like pink bike, Facebook marketplace, and Craigslist.

More shit to clog up the bike lane. No rear view mirrors, so no awareness of anyone behind you. Riders can’t see around you. They will park in bike lanes to make deliveries. I’m not against the idea of replacing delivery trucks with bikes , I’m just realistic about how these will be used.

Table top RPGS, board games, poker/card game groups, baking, cycling, volunteering at an org you feel strongly about, trail building to add to the list. As mad as I am at Reddit this would be the perfect thing to scour your local subreddit for groups for.
