British Rider Needed 17 Stitches After Hitting Barbed Wire Trail Trap
A lot better than it could have been. Someone did similar with kitestring at the bottom of a hill and it cut my neck wide open, requiring dozens of stictches and if it had been an inch lower I'd be dead. Still wear the scar decades later. Always be weary of what's ahead. People can be nuts.

Shimano Granted Another FCC Wireless Approval for Derailleur & Control
Wish the opportunity was taken to use the frame to integrate wired systems and centralized battery to run all servos. Then just attach components which provide contact points and plug in your controls into a hub. Would make for a reliable package that wouldn't require batteries at multiple locations

Burning Question: 7 Brands That Haven't Released an eMTB Yet
Sure. Say 8 gallons of gasoline over the course of a season Vs say 4 riders on 600wh batteries.... a single 18650 is 10wh at best and 3.5 usually . So that's minimum 60 18650 batteries. From there our life cycle assessment also has to consider 1). Emissions associated with building the batteries; 2). Emissions associated with charging and discharging the batteries during normal operations; and 3). Emissions associated with recycling or disposing of the batteries. Once we have that stat for a single 18650 cell we can calculate the overall emissions for a bike battery

6 Environmental Initiatives in the Bike Industry: Recycled Batteries, Carbon Neutral Production & More
"Electric bikes are a powerful tool in the fight against climate change"
This would only be true if it replaces a mode of transportation like a car and I doubt that is taking place as much as a marketing team would like to believe.
