Not sure I'd call a big enduro sled 'micromobility' - and I say that as someone who has two enduro bikes. They are just about the worst possible bikes for urban use - and urban use is about the worst possible use of this bike. The Vala wants to be pointed down the sort of steep lines you couldn't descend on foot.

Beautiful bike (if overpriced) though.

I went to your Lemmy profile, nothing there.

Thanks for providing the link - but I think that you should have posted it here instead of responding with derision.

66% of our resident cats are on prescription diets. Total non-issue. I think people just worry about other unanticipated costs.

Thanks! I was going for a vintage Yeti vibe.

Yep - I made the model.

I'm going to dig through the slicer file and see if there's anything wonky with the number of perimeters.

Oh man these are a USB-C port away from perfection - I'm ordering one! The replacement parts including batteries is incredible. I mean, they're expensive as all hell but it should last pretty indefinitely.

*gah! $40USD to ship to Canada...

LOVE the SuperFlash! I've had several over the years. The new Rojo 100 seems almost perfect. Unfortunately Planet Bike products seem to have disappeared from Canada.

I love the Garmin idea - especially because they are local, but I really don't need the radar functionality. I don't even own a computer, I just use my (Garmin) watch for tracking rides.

The cygos are nice but are micro-USB which is a dying plug type - the only item I own that uses it is actually my shifters. Not a deal breaker though.

My brightness requirement is 'enough to be seen, not so much that other commuters hate me. It's all battery life. More or less everything works fine at first but I find that very few lights can even make it through one commute when it's cold. A typical day is about an hour and a half total.

I also just suck at remembering to charge my light at the office. I would love something that only needs charging once every few weeks but that means a battery life of at least 20 hours in the cold - and the ability to do that after a few years use.
