  • To your surprise, i can't agree more! You should never omit the fact: questioning whether the civilians were the target or gruesome collateral victims (or "martyrs").

    This fact is what tells the difference in our views, unfortunately. This hurts me as bad, as you, i guess.

  • Qudsnen.co: "Quds News Network (QNN) is the largest independent and comprehensive Palestinian youth electronic news network."

    I wish people would provide at least this brief information on the "sources" they link to. This really helps to assess the credibility and objectivity.

  • "...a US patent application from SRAM shows a radically different chain design.

    <...>

    A conventional chain is made of a pin, roller and a set of alternating inner and outer plates. SRAM's patent removes the need for inner and outer plates with the stepped design acting as both."

  • Calling other people (all the more, a nation as a whole) names - is not critical thinking.

    Presenting biased rhethorics (all the more, not in a neutral manner, but emotionally loaded claims) and ommitting any contradicting points - has nothing to do with critical thinking.

    Opinions vs facts. One-sided accusing vs rational thinking. 💁

  • "In April, Zweirad Industrie Verband (ZIV), the German cycling industry association, published a paper with these recommendations:

    • A support ratio of 1:4, where a rider’s 100W power output is matched by 400W from an electric motor
    • A maximum assistance power of 750W <...> Although Bosch is just one of 140 members in the association, some have said that Bosch is exerting influence over the position to protect its place in the market. <...>

    ZIV’s position has been interpreted as potentially blocking the development of heavier e-cargo bikes. Disabled people or those who cannot generate sufficient power could also struggle to use ebikes if ZIV’s recommendations are implemented."

  • Could you tell whether you usually ride in car lanes? Is it a choice (meaning, don't you have separate bike lanes)?

    In any case, i wouldn't dare to constantly ride a bike in traffic (if i would have a bike lane to use), and no bicycle radar would settle my concerns. Call it excessive caution or trust issues (myself and other people on the road). 💁

    I wonder: To make a turn, do you only follow what radar tell you (or does not signal anything)? Do you still look over your shoulder to check yourself if it's safe to maneuver? 🤔

    Also: What kind of warnings do these radars provide (and how do you react)?

  • Considering how small it is - there is nowhere else to move the battery to.

    If you want to keep the vehicle compact and maneuverable (and less prone to tip over), you keep the battery where it is now: low and near the centre of mass (or you can basically sit on top of it)).

  • Have a look at Ampler Bikes. That's an estonian manufacturer, and i believe they’ve recently made their first usb-c rechargeable ebike.

    I'm more interested in belt-drive bicycles, and this market is much broader. Quite hard to make up one's mind, which bike to consider to buy)
