Description was added after my original post and I agree it's bad (looks like AI generated drek). That said, the video is good and worth a watch.

Well thanks for that - it's solid discussion!

Is there a reason this is being down voted so much? I've only watched the first few minutes and I was actually surprised I hadn't come across this channel before.

I'm assuming you meant to include an image here?

I live through the smoke every year, and have had to retrofit a ton of of air filters into my home. Believe me, I know - I live and play in the areas that are burning. But someone asking for a reference is a GOOD thing and responding dismissively doesn't sway people to better understand, it turns them off of your message.

I don't see any of the pinned posts in your post or comment history. While I agree on the urgency of addressing climate change and agree that we need to substantially increase the speed of our deployment of renewables, it's completely reasonable for someone to ask for sources.

We need MORE fact checking, not less. When someone asks me for sources, I'm THRILLED to share with them, because that is someone who is interested and thinking critically. It's someone I can have a dialogue with.

Fantastic comment. Only item I might disagree on is bearings IF the bike has cartridge bearings as those are easy to work with. If it's cup and cone/loose ball then yea, I'd recommend just letting the shop do it only because cone wrenches are a pretty specific tool.

Lots of bike shops (especially community bike shops) offer inexpensive courses on bike maintenance which are a great option for learning.

The upshot is every time this guy starts freaking out I find a cool new event to attend.

Yep - I identify as male, but I put he/they in my email signature because I a) want to signal active support for the trans community and b) don't really think about my own gender much and kind of like de-gendering my language wherever possible.

Beats me, but I'd love to see the answer.

That's a great, useful print. I'm firing up the printer as I type this!

Planet Bike seems to have mostly disappeared from the Canadian market - their new Rojo 100 looks sweet though!

Mind sorta blown - such a great explanation.
