I’ve had simple, single-speed back-pedal braking bikes for more than twenty years as my primary transportation.

It’s not that I’m disinterested in other bikes but just don’t want to compromise on things you mentioned like maintainability.

I want a bike that will last for decades, even if it trades hands many times. I’ve bought a new bike in the past but my current daily ride is older than I am.

My primary mode of transportation is a bike and IMO not all e-bikes are real bikes.

Pedal-assist sure but if there is a throttle (and pedaling is optional) then I consider it a moped.

Not that I’m opposed to mopeds…

I live in a similar climate and use rain pants.

Sounds super cereal…

I used to work in Grasshopper for parametric models but now I mostly reach for OpenSCAD.

So the tankie idiots join the bigger pool of non-tankie idiots. How will we ever survive…

I use:

• A projects folder with CAD files (sub-folders for bigger projects)
• A models folder with mesh exports and downloads
• A watched folder with gcode getting rsynced to my octoprint and auto-removed

Never found it useful to save configs from my slicer.

Already bailed when they blocked account sharing…

Really like the sky!

Extra scary when there’s a power outage and your screen isn’t backlit 😱

Finally, a negative feedback loop…
