[UPDATED] Final Results & Overall Standings from the Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
@salespunk: Agreed !! Just a couple of years ago it was orders of magnitude better. That is the whole point.
The supposedly bigger backing by Warner Bros, ESO, etc. actually made it worse. Same would have been OK, but it has gone for shit instead…

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
I am still stuck on Camelbaks for most rides.
Main reasons are all the tools, 3L of water, emergency kit & some trail maintenance stuff I can lug with…

Kona Bicycles' Parent Company Appoints New CFO, Intends to Sell Brand
@jayacheess: Cannot agree more on some corporate leaders deserving good hidings. Blind focus on short term stock price growth and quarterly profits is really a race to the bottom.
The ultra wealthy should pay their fair share and that is what a proper tax system should be for.
Unfortunately Socialism is pure evil. It promotes mediocrity and removes incentives…

@TwoNGlenn: 100% with you. Capitalism may not be perfect, but as sure as hell it is better than socialism or communism !!

@no-good-ideas: I disagree… Capitalism promotes competition and there is nothing that prohibits you from being a capitalist and running a sustainable business… Exploitation for max profit and a short term view is not the norm.
