100% agree. I’m riding an early 90s Yokota Catalina as my daily driver and it’s like a tank. That thing is going to live forever, and as long as I keep up on the basic maintenance, it’s a dream to ride. There’s no way in hell I’d be tempted to switch over to a new bike with a delicate and expensive to repair brake system, or electronic shifting that costs more than a set of winter (car) tires to repair.

If you’d have told me even 4 months that there was a slight chance to beat PP, I’d have been ecstatic. I hope that his career (and the political feasibility of faschy candidates like him) implodes after tonight.

The initial “oh shit!” to the nihilistic “oh well…”

If the bike keeps operating without issues, it’s best to do a quick check to see if you dropped anything, and if you’ve still got all your stuff, you’re probably safe to assume it was a pinecone or something

They are going to destroy things we deeply love and hold to be sacred, as casual as we may normally feel about defining things as “sacred”

How about we remove tariffs from Chinese EVs in addition to this?
