Offer them a hug. 2074 sounds like a scary time to be alive.

Adding a trailer to your ebike let's you have 4 wheels and the ability to carry gear without having to use a car.

Nah, many brands are capable of making a decent MTB. If you are grabbing something new, $1000 gets you an OK hardtail, $2000 gets you an OK full-suspension. Spending more gets you higher quality parts and lighter weight. Spending less, better to go used.

I'd add a tail.

Plasma Mobile with your distro of choice. Works better than Gnome or normal Plasma, especially when it comes to the on screen keyboard.

My head is now clipping through a cardboard box full of stuff. I assume that wouldn't be very survivable.

Plasma mobile is worth a try, been pretty happy with it on a detachable 2 in 1 without it's keyboard. The onscreen keyboard works better than Gnome or normal Plasma.

Double wall rims can be made to be lower weight than single wall rims, and reducing rotating weight makes more of a difference than reducing weight elsewhere on the bike. Depending on how much lighter the new rims are, the bike might accelerate quicker. If the difference isn't really noticeable, higher quality tires paired with the new wheels should help get that upgraded feeling.

Yeah, it should work fine. If using it for single track it might feel a bit weird, but have heard of people successfully mountain biking on even narrower rims with 2.1" tires.

Overall we tend to use we more than I. I gets used when someone is expressing their own opinion, when in non-plural spaces online, sometimes when talking to people we aren't out to, and sometimes when only one of us is up front and no one else is close to front.

I picked pawb because furries know tech really well, so I can trust the server to be fairly reliable.

Looks like lemmy didn't want to upload the meme. Guess its still a post though.

Bikes and weed.

Pros: Cool paintjobs, parts tend to be of ok quality.

Cons: Frames are less than perfect and may have alignment issues. Buying a bike on the internet means you are getting something lazily slapped together and thrown in a box, so if you are not a skilled bicycle mechanic, parts will likely wear out quicker than normal due to poor adjustment. The model you are looking at is missing a front brake, so you will be unable to stop if the chain falls off.

You can, but you likely won't get as good of result compared to handlebars designed for upright riding. Also, most bullhorn bars have a diameter of 23.8mm, which limits the brake levers and shifters you can attach. There are plenty of swept back bars that don't feel like beach cruiser bars. North Road style bars are made by a number of companies, and worth a look. If being rather narrow is important, check out the Nitto Bosco.

Tektro R559 are modern dual pivots that are long enough and come in a nutted version. For something vintage, a Weinmann or Dia-Compe 750 centerpull brakes will be stronger than single pivot brakes, but require cable hangers.
