  • Both camps are right!

    Cheap bikes just don’t ride nowhere as nicely nor do they last as expensive bikes do.

    BUT! The worst thing about owning an expensive bike is owning an expensive bike.

    It’s a thief magnet and source of envy of other riders.

    You really need to find a sweet spot between a quality bike and being able to leave it locked in the city without having pangs of anxiety of it being stolen.










  • I’m in a very similar situation like you are. I too have started to be annoyed with the Big Tech products and the Internet in general.

    I have switched to Lemmy, shut down my gmail account and opened a Proton Mail, and switched from using Google search engine to Qwant.

    I too have switched to Linux Mint, and I’m loving it. TBH my IT colleauges talked me into buying refurbished Thinkpad laptop and told me to install Linux Mint. Boy am I glad I did that.

    The next step for me is switching to Fairphone :D
