Review: Kuat Huk Tailgate Pad
@mi-bike: for as heavy as a light duty pickup/full-size truck is, the Duramax GM/Chevy and Ecodiesel (R.I.P) Ram options have very, very good gas mileage. No other vehicle can tow 7000-10000 lbs, or carry 1400+ lbs in the bed and get 12-18mpg while doing said tasks, and get 27mpg highway when unloaded.
Obviously smaller, lighter vehicles are more fuel efficient, but as the poster above said these beat out all trucks smaller than them other than the Maverick and that’s tiny. Nothing wrong with small trucks, but some of us have travel trailers to tow or UTVs, up steep inclines.

Norco Magnum
$350 USDBike was used at Lake Cunningham Bike Park in San Jose when I lived up there - pump track & dual slalom, never jumped anything other than the beginner line, Occasional BMX at Santa Clara BMX. Haven't ridden it since I moved down to SoCal so time to let someone else have it! Cool bike, great for pump track etc and it has a small cassette so you don't have to worry about chainring swaps and are able to ride it around the neighborhood or over to the park(s) and actually have gears to climb in.

Race & Accessibility in the Mountain Bike Community
@brokemywristbyfallingoffmybike:
Or instead of #minoritylivesmatter we could just stick with “all lives matter” because it makes the most sense with what we are trying to achieve, I.e. equality and love for all people on this earth... maybe “impoverished lives matter” read below for my thoughts on that.
When you irrationally subdivide humans into imagined groups like ‘race’ with “black lives matter” or “minority lives matter” you implicitly promote that inherent differences of a person’s essence do exist based on something as trivial as skin color. I get that violent evil people in the past and today have acted on the idiotic concept of “race”, but the best way into a brighter future is probably to destroy the concept of race in its entirety. Once we do that we can truly focus on issues such as income and wealth inequality.

Race & Accessibility in the Mountain Bike Community
I can relate via proxy, my mother immigrated with her family from Asia to NYC as well back in the 1970s. She recalls the racism she endured from black classmates as being the absolute worst and most violent. She let the slurs like “chink” etc bounce off her, and when they picked fights with her in the schoolyard, she fought back. She’s a strong women and didn’t let those early negative experiences taint her attitudes of the entire race* however.
Racism is a mental disorder that many people of different races* suffer and direct towards many other people of different races*.
*As a mixed ‘race’ American, I personally hate that word with a passion. We are not dogs. We do not have races/breeds/whatever. We are all human.
