Pinkbike Poll: Why Don't We Wear Full-Face Helmets More Often?
@hatchleader: You make a fair point. There are pros and cons, like all things in life. Funny thing, I was never arguing that one system was better than the other. I simply addressed the fact that “free” healthcare isn’t free, despite what politicians try to convince us. Interesting to see how triggered we’ve been made feel if anyone points out something deemed unfavorable to one social/political viewpoint. Troubling that so many of us have unwittingly been sucked into this divisive, closed mindset. It’s unnecessary and unhealthy.

@billbouv: It’s always out of somebody’s pocket, quite possibly your own since you pay for it in taxes over your lifetime.

First Look: Spot Bikes Launch Gen 2 Ryve 115 Downcountry Bike
@seb-stott: Regarding the firmness/traction at the start of the travel, I think the variable you might be overlooking is that the leaf spring is exactly that—its own spring. Having owned a Spot Mayhem, I cleared technical climbs that I previously thought impossible. The rear end stayed glued to the terrain on climbs and provided me with traction beyond what I thought was possible.

Riders Respond to Crash at the Lenzerheide XC World Cup 2022
@paulpimml: Thanks for this! Everyone has been wondering. Definitely not a slap or anything aggressive, so I'm glad of that for Nino's sake. That shows restraint.

@tudorm: I’m not sure it was “totally uncalled for.”

The UCI Expands Controls for Mechanical Doping at Tour de France
@snowwcold55: Take it easy, man. This actually happened to him. If he has big ding ding, so be it. Who cares. It was relevant to the event. He was not being racist at all. Their nationality and language were pertinent to the story because it relates to how hard it was for him to recall the lengthy names. He is no conspiracy theorist because he experienced this first hand and had a reliable source inform him no police reports exist.
Respectfully, you might take a look in the mirror and assess how you have conditioned to have such an excessive reaction to a story like this, then make an effort chill out a bit.

@WRCDH: Dang! Thank you for sharing this so the rest of us know how avoid/handle a similar situation in the future. I'm not sure how easy it was for you to open up about this, but I certainly appreciate it.

Mathieu Van Der Poel Taking Mountain Bike Sabbatical Until 2023
Maybe he's just waiting for Canyon to produce the Lux in a size that actually fits him so he's not so hunched over while riding, further hurting his back.

Video: Aaron Gwin's Massive Crash from the Lourdes DH World Cup 2022
@justanotherusername: I am not saying you aren't allowed free speech, so don't try to wrap yourself in liberty, especially because you are trying to actively punish someone for exercising his free speech. The fact that you see yourself as justified to threaten someone's livelihood because he is a troll on the inteneet is more concerning to me than conoat saying crap in the comments of a bike site. You are using your self-righteousness to excuse your awful actions. That's a big problem.

@waldo-jpg: I’m blown away by how people cannot deal with others they don’t like. “Ban them!!!!!” That’s not productive. No, you are not entitled to a “safe space” to protect your feelings. The downvote system hides comments the community dislikes. That’s sufficient. Stop trying to purge and cancel everyone/thing you disagree with.
