Bicycle addict. I like steep ups and downs. Road, CX, AM trail and anything fun on bikes. Also ride to get around town.

Review: The 2023 Orbea Wild M-LTD Raises the Bar for eMTB
They support retailers well.
Ship things DHL super fast to make things right.
Yeah, I don't love the online retailer presence either, but who's not selling through DTC or third party these days.

@mooreoutdoors @cogsci @norcalbike
Orbea USA is part of Mondragon.
Haven't had any issues getting problems taken care of.
They DHL stuff from Spain faster than many companies send things UPS ground.

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Ride Instead of Drive?
@L0rdTom: raised in Chicago so I'm a cultural orphan.
Nowhere is perfect, Switzerland is pretty incredible but Coastal California means riding bikes all year, Oceans and Mountains close-ish...I'll take it.
Still, where's my damn train to Tahoe?!?!

Pinkbike Poll: How Often Do You Ride Instead of Drive?
@mikekazimer: can you add a "commuter eBike" option to the poll? I'd be curious how many of us ride unassisted on the trails and use an ebike for transportation (i do)

Review: 2023 Commencal Tempo LTD
@Muscovir: agreed, most customers don't care or notice
But the new rise's headset is objectively uglier than the old one.
And explaining cable housing replacement will be even more $$$ unless done as part of an overhaul with fork drop is always fun.
