Bit different as I’m on a bike but…
I bring: Enough extra water for someone else. Extra medical supplies
To me yes.
I believe environment opens people up in a way not found commonly outside of the event.
It’s also a selection bias situation. Those that go are more inclined to bring open maybe.
I grew as a person, made friends, and shared feelings with strangers openly.
10/10 experience.
Income is heavily affected by cost of living. We pay much higher rates for housing, fuel, and groceries than most of the country. Even in more of the rural areas incomes, generally SKU hire to make living somewhat affordable.
What a wonderful experience.
I loved every minute of the week.
So many genuinely kind and caring people.
The most staggering revelation I had was that many of my preconceived judgments based on stereotypes were way wrong. We camped with people that I would not normally connect with in the default. Some of these people I think have the potential to be strong, lifelong friends
There’s more in common Than there is a difference.
People go on and on about Tech, Bros and sparkle ponies, but scenarios like this, allow those of us, with the best intentions to shine. I hope this year’s Takeaway is more about the strength of unity than anything else
The census data does not support that claim
The majority the incomes are middle class (50,000 - 100,000) and as the majority of the participants are from California, that does not go very far.
The back one is even worse. You have to pull up the cup holder mat and pry out a clip before you can pull a wire.
Absolutely
Group walks and multiple breakfasts
I love it. Similar tone as this message
Borrowed my brothers scooter.
Had a blast around Sun River near Bend Or. perfectly sunny day for a 25 mile cruz. All paths and low traffic mid week.
Climbed to the top of Lava Butte Lookout.
So much to explore in this sport. Enjoy!
All the fuss over there really left a bad impression of that site. After many years I’m happy to shift over here
Lemmy is what Reddit was meant to be so many years ago
Those damn gas station sunglasses I’ve had for like 15 years. Still good enough that I haven’t replaced them…
Seriously though,
I think the BIFL movement overvalues brands.
Looking for quality and intentionally buying something you like that will be with you for years is more important to me.
Buy less, repair it, use it longer.

I’ve loved the pinkbike series with Ben Cathro “how to bike”
It’s awesome to see these stations filled up around town and neighborhoods. Wishing this system and the communities who use them the best of luck!
This one is out side of Humble Sea Brewing. Right next to the rail trail is a great way to encourage safer transportation.

After the article recently about the Canadian police blaming cyclist for “dangerous behavior” I was reminded about this old chart I saw on Reddit.
Ban cars from cities. Heal our communities
Full mid life crisis bike.
Still got a lot of fine tuning and changes before I can call it “mine”.
First ride went pretty well despite some mechanical issues
Never a bad day to ride
1000w LvH Bullitt. SRAM Code brakes and Cane Creek Visco headset upgrades.
It’s so fun to ride with the kids to school and then on into the office. So lucky to still have this opportunity.
Smiles per miles at maximum.
I carry a level up in gear as injuries while MT biking are usually more severe
Bleed stop packets Gauze pads Wrapping bandages Soap Hydrogen peroxide Rubber gloves Extra joint…
I’ve helped clean up and stabilize people plenty of times. It’s nice to be ready.
