  • What are some cool spots you like riding your bike to?

  • True, you can never go wrong with a food or beverage stop on a bike ride! Some of my best cycling memories are bicycle bar crawls with good friends on nice summer days.

  • I mostly just like biking around my town and the surrounding local areas, whether it be on trails or on the road. My bike (a hybrid) is, in typical hybrid fashion, kind of inadequate either way. But that's part of what makes it fun!

    I'd love to try proper downhill mountain biking someday though, it looks like a blast. I got real hooked on some MTB content on YouTube a while ago and it seems like such a nice community, too.

  • I live in a province with a large amount of old covered bridges (including the world's longest) and those are always a highlight of any ride for me.

    Another thing I love is going down local ATV trails (even though my cheap hybrid bike is not made for those conditions). I've seen a ton of cool stuff riding through those.

  • Bike shop owner says “constant bad press” for e-bikes such as BBC Panorama episode drove closure

    Jump

  • I think there is a distinction to be made between e-bikes with a reasonable amount of pedal-assist and e-bikes with throttles and overpowered motors.

    E-bikes make cycling more accessible (old people, certain disabilities) and that's something we should strive for. I don't care to own one myself, but I do like the idea of still being able to cycle when I'm old and my knees are shot.

  • You almost never hear someone tell a good joke about steaks. It really is a rare medium well done.

    I knew a fortune teller, she was rather short but she told me a great joke about steak. Unfortunately, she went missing a while ago and no one knows where she is.

    She's just a small medium at large now.

  • I've seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here's a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

  • You can definitely get a good daily-driver for less than that if you buy used and aren't scared of learning a bit of bike maintenance.

    Alternatively, people should look into cycling co-ops. There's one in my town that refurbishes old bikes and sells them for around $100 (Canadian)

  • I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

    Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

  • Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10

    Jump

  • looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

    Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P

  • how is it to work everyday but Wednesdays and Thursdays?

  • I don't know about you, but whenever I've had schedules where I didn't get two sequential days off in a week I'd tire out waay fast.

    In your situation, I'd probably pick Sunday+Monday as my weekend. You get the extra for working on Sunday, and you get to avoid the stressed people on Mondays. It is nice to have one conventional weekend day off, the other commenters aren't lying when they say working weekends limits social opportunities.
