“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

Schwinn went through bankruptcy restructuring many years ago (I think late 90's) and became nothing more than a brand name for box stores to sell as “higher end” than Huffy. They are not the same quality bicycles you parents remember from the 70's and 80's.

Social media was a mistake.

Think you forgot 1 or 2 more...

thats what i was thinking looking at these pictures.  i really really dont like ducatis new design language.  

You’re right about the criminal justice system and you’re right that it wouldn’t help this kid or the cyclists he mowed down at all. I’m more interested in the civil suit that follows and kinda hope that bankrupts this family.

I have a Volvo v60 Polestar and I really enjoy the car. It’s fast and the suspension is terrific. Mine was the last generation I-6 engines.  I live in the Northeast so I also appreciate how I can drive in the snow and poor weather in general without much concern. Moreover, where I live, there aren’t many opportunities…

Counterpoint: it doesn’t

Yup. I drove my 1987 Integra LS 5 speed right out of the showroom floor in 1987. It was $11,000. Affordable and simple: manual windows and sunroof which could be tilted or removed and stowed in the trunk. It was a blast to drive and the features were very nice for the price in 1987: fuel injected, 16 valves, 4 wheel…

CVT. You forgot CVT. With fake gears and paddles, of course.
