15 years ago I went on a 3 month Semester at Sea study trip on a small cruise ship circumnavigating the globe.
There was only a handful of whitelisted sites available on the WiFi, otherwise you would need to pay a ton for the satellite connection or … have a staff password.
At least with my group we had a a healthy list of credentials that had been acquired in various ways. Even with occasional password changes, we managed to stay connected.
Definitely miss the good ol’ days where it was optimized to give the best results. Same goes for Netflix recommendations back in the the DVD mailer days…
I’ve had simple, single-speed back-pedal braking bikes for more than twenty years as my primary transportation.
It’s not that I’m disinterested in other bikes but just don’t want to compromise on things you mentioned like maintainability.
I want a bike that will last for decades, even if it trades hands many times. I’ve bought a new bike in the past but my current daily ride is older than I am.
So, you’re telling me that I’ll needs to use my… legs?
Dear god.
