Tested: Do Short Cranks Work For Tall Riders?
@beeeefkirky: I was under the impression that track cranks were short to reduce the risk of pedal strike. When they’re going fast it’s not an issue but moving slower on a banked track brings your outside pedal perilously close to the boards.

Bike Boom Shows Signs of Slowing for Shimano & Thule
Maybe when freight comes back down to earth. Very little of the price increases we've seen have to do with scarcity.

Round Up: 16 Bike Industry Jobs Available Right Now
Pretty much baseline for Analyst positions elsewhere in the bike industry. I don't know about Yeti but *some* industry jobs offer exceptionally good pro deals to employees. That said, I can tell this isn't going to be a position where you can be successful and also take advantage of daily staff rides without sacrificing work/life balance.
The entire bike industry is still set up as if everyone was a dirtbag 28 year old in 2002.
Also pretty much guaranteed that that position is actually 90% an IT/BI role but because it's an "Analyst" and not a "Developer" you're gonna get $20k hacked right off the top.

Don't work in the industry. Loving bikes is just an excuse for them to pay you less. Bike discounts good pay.

@pisgahgnar: They don't need to set traps - they can just run you over in their trucks.

Pinkbike Poll: What Was the Greatest Advancement In Mountain Bike Technology?
One generation before disc brakes: v-brakes.
The change in stopping power from cantis to v-brakes was way more consequential than v-brakes to disc brakes.

Positive Covid Cases at Olympics Up to 62, Number of Athletes & Staff in Quarantine Increases
@sjma: NBA & NHL bubbles were very effective. The NFL was a circus. Anyone remember the week the Broncos had no QBs because the entire group had been exposed?

Having watched the 2020 NFL season I feel like we already know how this is gonna go.

FDA Approves Device That May Help Prevent Traumatic Brain Injuries by Clamping Blood Vessels in the Neck
@onemanarmy: Yeah, those tender brains are much more susceptible to long term damage. I think I read somewhere they even banned headers in high school soccer?
