Review: iXS Trigger X 3/4 Shell Helmet
@TheR: Texas and Florida have riding that demands a FF helmet? I mean, for sure SwampFest, but they all wear protective m80's

Review: iXS Trigger X 3/4 Shell Helmet
I immediately saw "ONE HELMET TO RULE THEM ALL!" and thought that was Elijah Wood. It would actually work really well for wood elves with those big ear holes!

Bike Check: Kova Bikes #2 Is A Machined & Bonded High-Pivot Engineering Project
@MTBLegend92: won't try to sue you if the bike you built them breaks
It's Europe so maybe they're not as dead-ass broke as a student here, but maybe get their used futon or a MC Escher poster in the settlement?

Now THAT Was a Bike: 2016 Pole Evolink
>> post-Covid bubble
Uhm, it's actually the bursting of the Covid bubble. This is the thinking that got bike companies in trouble in the first place.

Throwback Thursday: The True Story of Brodie Bikes
The bike stand for the Red Ritchey photo was the pinnacle in "hold your bike upright for a picture" technology (which, If I remember correctly, back then involved being very still will a skilled oil painter completed a portrait). Today we've regressed to trying to find an appropriate length stick and getting a pic before the wind blows your bike over.

>> check the orange indicators regularly while driving.
yeah, my initial reaction was "how?" - my personality: stop every 15-20 minutes.

Paul Bas Walks Half Marathon 8 Years After Being Paralyzed at Red Bull Rampage
@barp: you endure all the pain and (frankly) boredom to build up your abs and no one can see them, then still need to get rid of all the fat. It's two punches to the gut... where we've already established I have no muscles to protect me.

Pinkbike Poll: Hip Pack, Vest, or Backpack?
@korev: I get it, and it does happen, but 1. we somehow survived pre everyone with a phone and universal coverage (which is still spotty in a lot of riding areas) and 2. you probably have to get them out of the back country anyways, phone or no phone.
I usually have my phone because, hey that's the new reality, but he's right - not carrying a phone has a certain degree of... liberation?
