Video: The YT Mob is 'Taking a Break' in 2022
from what i understand, anyone who rides a YT should be on the lookout for another ride. because they break.

Porsche Acquires Majority Stake in Greyp eBikes
@SimonD: Not a chance. Corollas last forever and here in NE US they only finally die as they succumb to rust and road salt. I'd argue the Corolla owner has a lower carbon footprint as they can drive that car into the ground, and are likely one-vehicle people rather than Porsche owners who typically own at least one other vehicle.

Porsche Acquires Majority Stake in Greyp eBikes
@AyJayDoubleyou: some not without a great deal of maintenance. But at least the early 2000's cars (fried egg era) are attainable for the average joe (sort of, could be had for 18-25k), provided you have $1500 to spend replacing the IMS bearing.

So you're telling us your annual bike budget is $11,500? Now that is some dentist shmit right there.

Does your $100 a month budget roll over to the next month if you don't spend it? I could see easily going 2-3 months without needing to buy something, so then can you spend $300 on something more/bigger?

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 88 - Mountain Biking on a Budget
This is something I don't quite understand. How often does one get a service like this done? I service my bike when it starts to feel a little off, but am riding a 2015 frame and ride quite a bit, and pretty hard, and have not had to do headset bearings, wheel bearings, or frame bearings. So my question is (not directed at you specifically) how many people are paying tons of $$ for new bearings etc. not because they need them but because they've reached their "recommended service interval"? That's probably a good avenue to save money - don't replace something that isn't broken!

@Jo-rides: the collaterals are a big one. A lot of people need those things to feel like they are really part of it, such as the post-ride beers at a local beer garden with the bikes parked out front, or the fully kitted 4x4, Kashima rack, whatever.

@iamamodel: but if you sell your bike and buy another used bike... boom, environment!
