  • There was a fight scene involving an e-board in this show called Rabbit Hole that was pretty cool (decent show too); I imagine having some sort of micromobility fight/chase in confined spaces could make for a good action sequence.

  • Yeah, but on the other hand, ICE motorcycles have also been referred to as bikes, so it's been a longstanding ambiguity with the term.

    What do you do to keep your bike safely locked up?

    Jump

  • Rentals could work or maybe a decent folding scooter. If you can get by at all without power, it might be worth looking at Bromptons/Brompnots or perhaps something like a Strida. There's also folding kick scooters as well as powered ones.

    The Litelock X1 sounds like it would be the Ulock for you though, it's not super heavy, fairly compact, but still very cut resistant.

    All that said, if everywhere you need to go is covered by rental bikes or scooters, I'd say at least start out using them to get a sense of what works best for you. There's something to be said for not worrying about maintenance, theft, or storage too.

  • I still go to reddit and you are basically describing reddit itself: It's a bunch of reposts. Not sure what you mean about "uncensored" exactly but if you're talking about NSFW stuff, there's instances that cater to that sort of thing here too.

    You will get better results if you browse all and start subscribing to things you actually like, then set your filter to subscribed and you're off to the races!

    What do you do to keep your bike safely locked up?

    Jump

  • There are two ways you can approach this:

    1. Get an entry level bike and decent locks like a uLock like the Litelock X1 or X3 (or Skunklock Chemical if you're vindictive lol) and maybe supplement it with a secondary chain or folding like (Hiplok Gold or Foldylock Forever are good supplementary locks). The locks should deter most thieves and the Litelock X3 takes mutiple cutting wheels to get through (the Skunklock Chemical has an active defense of skunking anyone who tries to cut it).
    2. Get a nice bike with the above locks as well as insurance, trackers, an alarm, and maybe even another lock.

    If you opt for 1, I'd recommend checking out your local bike shop for brands like Lectric, Ride1up, etc. and getting whatever makes the most sense for you. Since you mentioned trikes, I want to point out that they are prone to tipping so ride slowly around corners or you'll crash. I prefer 2 wheels over 3 for this reason (though I do have a recumbent trike that's fun to ride but trickier to corner than a bicycle).

    Ideally, in either case, it's best to bring your bike inside: Even if you lock a bike up, people can do things like put glue in the lock, vandalize the bike, steal parts, etc. Try to limit the amount of time you leave it exposed, especially if you live in high theft areas.

    Personally, I just ride cheap bikes and keep them in good repair. If they get destroyed or stolen, that sucks, but even if I never get compensated for it, I can replace it sooner rather than later.

  • Yeah, but you can though. Go spec your own gaming rig if you don't believe me.

    Also, again, there's pretty much no way it'll be $1,000.

    Jump

  • A lot of places won't let you bring a folding bike in unfortunately.

  • Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.

    Jump

  • Less than $1,000? Yes, why not? We'll see what the price actually is, but I doubt it'll be anywhere near that high. Valve was pretty smart about sourcing their parts for low cost and decent performance. I wouldn't be surprised if it were closer to $500 even.

  • Yep, if you're getting suspended no matter what you do, might as well go to town so that everyone else is to afraid to try again next time because of what happened to the last attacker.

    Effectively, it's an enticement to escalate violence rather than try and diffuse the situation once violence starts.
