For travel purposes, the best option is probably something like a Brompton or Takachia trifold bike: They’re a good combination of being fairly rideable, but also very compact.

Reiß dich mal zusammen, Deutschland.

“Harumph!”

That is the sexiest thing in this thread.

* is definitely legal in most of the world

That said, if anyone has better suggestions for a reader that doesn’t involve giving money to a shitty company like Amazon, this would be a great place to post them!

Buying a used bike would probably be the most economical: You can get a quality bike for $100-200 probably.

Alternately: Folders are a lot more transportable. I love my Priority Folder and a trifold like Brompton or Takachia would be even more transportable!

Yeah, that chain is looking kinda beat up. It’s good to check it in a few locations but it’s probably time for a new one (plus, riding too long on a worn chain can prematurely wear out your cassettes too).

Holy shit, they were still on there???

The car might sustain less damage, however, the occupant will receive more damage. People buy newer, safer cars, presumably because they like being alive and would prefer to keep doing that.

Modern cars are designed to break before their drivers do, because you can’t replace you, but you can buy a new car.

Unorthodox hat, but I don’t hate it.

Thanks for the write-up! We’ve featured it in the community to get more eyes on it.

You just gotta hit that dropper and send it! Wait…

Well, it’s one reason it’s rubbish anyhow.

Just as a general piece of advice: The ParkTools YouTube channel has tons of great maintenance and adjustment videos.

The chain cleaner is good for cleaning it up between oilings, but you want to be super thorough in degreasing before waxing. I’d recommend checking out some tutorials before you wax.

Reflash their firmware and make them do all my chores.

Hah, dumbass has to help Mrs. Pearson take out her trash and do your taxes! What a rube…

If you use the same chain, be sure to thoroughly degrease it before waxing. They sell pre-waxed chains too, but I’m not sure of brands off hand. You’ll also want to completely clean off your drive train.

What’s wrong with your rear brakes? Good thing you found that bike clinic!

Eh, you can eyeball it towards the end: Nothing wrong with improvising if you ask me.

It can if the engine makes the game run poorly or not at all (I wouldn’t buy it) or if the engine is exceptionally well regarded and runs great it might make me a bit more inclined to buy the game.

If it’s an engine famous for being janky, it might also make me delay buying the game until devs or modders fix it.

Also, if the engine is known for being mod friendly, that would probably make me more inclined to consider buying the game.

I’d rather have cheese if I’m on a train and don’t need carbs for fuel. If I was riding a bike, I might feel differently.

If there’s a disparity in your bread/cheese supply, you could stretch it out by only eating one slice of bread at a time, folding it over a whole piece of cheese (also folded).
