That place is just flabbergasting nowadays. Click almost anywhere and you're greeted with colorful descriptions of jews and any other kind of bat shit overt comicbook bad guy levelf of absurd racism. Anywhere. What is Twitter's utillity even?

Keeping thieves away by never cleaning the bike reminds me of the old bicycle touring strategy of hanging sweaty and unwashed clothes to dry from your handlebars when parked. Bonus theft deterrent!

Also, I technically do have an engineering degree, which is why the lights and wiring are, ahem, functional. Most of the time.

To be clear, having an engineering degree is cool – it's the very specific (but all too common) type of engineer that wants jerk off into his own mouth when he sees a Cybertruck and organically follows Elon Musk on Twitter, that is lame and has a lot of bad ideas, sometimes about "innovation" of bicycles.

Buying used makes a lot of sense, especially for commuting. The design of the bicycle was basically perfected in the late 1800s, anybody trying to tell you different is a fart boofing Tesla fanboy with an engineering degree and zero cycling experience.

(Admittedly, I ride a carbon frame road bike with electronic shifting, not because I'm a shit sniffing engineer with a hard-on for Musk, but because I'm a middle-aged man with lycra for brains).

Hah! Shows your morals! He could have meant you could build it, but your thief brain went straight to thieving, eh, thief?
