That sucks. Personally, exercise is essential for me. Also, I would consider an ebike. I've been doing it for about a year, 30mi round trip for work. Even through most of a Michigan winter. Really trying to never have to deal with a car again. Recently got a mototcycle for those real long trips. Best of luck
The report delves into the nuances of Parisian cycling culture, exploring the vibrant community of riders who navigate the city's streets
Thanks, yeah sounds wise to me. Im def planning on being very cautious. Thing is, I live in the country, surrounded by dirt roads so they will be my training grounds
I posted about this a few days ago. Thought id share that I got the bike!
02 Yamaha 225 xt in what appears to be excellent condition, 3600 miles for $2800.
A very knowledgeable and helpful father and son showed it to me and help me lift it into the truck which was very appreciated.
Was going to ride it today but the cold weather was too much for the dying battery. Still, im pumped!

I appreciate the input. Youre not the first one to suggest such bikes. Ill revist the idea.
Thanks! And yeah im pretty sure thats a typo in my favor. One of the pics is of the odometer.
Seems like its in good shape but im a noob. He's asking 3000, seems a little high to me but again, idk. Appreciate any insights.
Thanks! Seems smart, I just messaged another dealer the same question.
New rider looking for an entry level dual sport. XR 150 seems perfect. I knew it would cost more to have a new bike but an extra $900 in delivery/setup? Ive got no intention of paying. Im just bitchin. See what yall think?
If youre talking strictly about emissions being impacted, what youre saying is close enough to accurate, still, it would make a difference, only a small one. The thing is theres a long list of destructive effects of these two industries, therefore, not supporting them reduces there harm in many more ways than just emissions.
Seems to me the two biggest personal changes one can make are related to diet and transportation.
Realize the destructive nature of the animal agriculture industry, as well as the automobile industry and adjust accordingly.
Go vegan, and swap car for ebike. Hopefully inspiring others to do the same eventually.
Here are the highest vehicles per capita by country as a growing global middle class is fueling car ownership rates around the world.
Not true. For example, people with epilepsy use to be considered demon possessed, and were sometimes executed. This happened for at least thousands of years. There's a ridiculously long list of examples of how we have come far.
Glad to hear it's going well in Western Europe, but that's far from the norm.
My point is trees are much more than wood.
2 big problems with that statement. 1st, it's being harvested at a much greater rate than it's being replenished. Second, old trees and old forests are far more valuable to the ecosystem than the cookie cutter "forests" planted after harvests.
Just reality. I thought it was pretty clear but I'll say it anyway, it's angry about deforestation, with a particular emphasis on old trees, hundreds, setumes thousand year old lynchpins in an already devastated ecosystems.
Grid updates mean utility pole demand has exploded
I want to hear from all yall down voters.
Here's some more, similar knowledge

I ride 40mins, twice a day by ebike through mostly dirt/country roads. When weather is good, its great. Less so when rainy but still partially enjoyable. Only real concern is cars...and to be fair, deer. See them every morning, usually close up. Join me in the ebike revolution
I've got a single speed k1 wide chain I want to put on my multispeed bike (lectric 3.0 ebike).
I'm a newbie, not sure of what info on the bike might be relevant but it's a modern, 7 speed, freewheel.
I've messed this up before. I tried this chain on a different bike when converting it but I kept skipping.
Sounds like I need better fitting cogs? Do I need "wide" ones? Crankset and rear cog? Possible better fitting chain tensioner too? Shopping around, I'm not seeing much a difference in sizing for these parts.
Any tips appreciated

The first article title I read on the story only said that he died. Just now ran into the more accurately titled article here on Lemmy
Sure, don't give dogs twinkies, but for that matter, don't give humans twinkies either. The idea makes it seem like dogs are aliens or something. Dog food ingredients are usually meat, grain and veggies, just like our meals. Food that is healthy for you is healthy for your dog, and vice versa.
First of all, I find this picture hilarious regardless of whatever. It was in a healthcare textbook, baby reflexes.
Also, sorry I didn't know how to rotate. Is it something easy on this app, Jerboa? I'm clueless
Anyway, thought it could be good material for one of those "what people think child free is vs what it really is".
Listening to a book..."Sapiens". Author talked about how dependent kids are. How compared to other animals, our babies need alot of support in the early stages of life.
Like alot of you I'm sure, I've got a fair amount of kids in my life...none of "mine" but some kind of are. I guess my point is we may not have kids, but really, they are all our kids, as supported by evolutionary biology, it takes a village.
Edit: Going a bit deeper...the author explains that for millions of years, while we were tribal, nomadic gatherer/hunters. We didn't know who's kids were who's, obviously the mother was primary caretaker, but, circling back, we evolved to raise kids as a community, not so much of the "traditional" mom/dad/child dynamic popular today.
I don't plan on "having kids" but still, I think it's all our responsibility (hopefully a partially enjoyable one) to help. Hard to argue anything more beneficial for our societys future than having well developed youth.
Ran out of my ritual multi vitamins and wanted some quick, got these from Walgreens.
What do yall use? I know I've heard it's best to use multiple bottles for different nutritional needs but that sounds super inconvenient.
