  • You can get away with one, and I certainly do most of the time. The 2nd one really only gets tossed on the bike for grocery store trips and touring.

    Edit: more thoughts

    For commuting purposes, it can be nice to get one with organizer pockets, just so keys/wallet aren’t always disappearing all the way to the very bottom




  • Not surprised. They always seemed really expensive. Like, I know they’re gonna be nicer than a cheap Rad Power, but they’re also more than the e-bikes offered by traditional bike companies. Especially important when a lot of local bike shops won’t repair electronic things on brands they don’t sell.

    Also, lol, their website still just had rendered images of the bikes. Having seen them in person, yes, they look nice. A lot nicer than a lot of other e-bikes, but like, there’s nothing that feels more like just backing something on kickstarter than a lack of actual photos of your bikes.


  • By paying attention to bands I already like.

    Do I know who they’re touring with? Are they posting about other bands in their scene? Maybe they like to post about cool music they’re listening to.

    I’ve discovered music from an artist posting bandcamp friday recommendation thread, instagram story AMA’s, q&a moments with musicians at shows, showing up for openers at shows, etc.
