If it’s actually that cheap, it’s that cheap for a reason. Keep in mind there are probably a ton of fees on top of this depending on where you live.

My advice would be: Don’t spend money on it unless you’re OK losing the money and even then, use a credit card so if it turns out to be a scam (or the company is just shady) you have the option of issuing a chargeback

Finally, if you do it, let us know how it goes. If it’s real I am fascinated to see what real world impressions are like.

Check out AirZound, it’s a bike pump rechargeable horn.

Companies also make battery powered ones that sound like a car horn.

Finally, there are impact wrench driven train horns that are over 100dB loud for when you just can’t get their attention (WARNING: hearing damage guaranteed).

What is your current location?

Asking for a friend who is certainly not a grizzly bear.

lol, lmao, etc.

Funny you should mention big risks: I read a study a few months ago that said downhill MTB is still a net gain for your overall health even with the extreme dangers the sport can pose. People really underestimate how dangerous being sedentary is.

Used bikes on Craigslist, get a chromoly 3x7 from a reputable brand. They are super cheap, reliable, and versatile. My main commuter is just an old Trek 820 MTB with some minor upgrades I’ve made over the years.

Are you going to get clips surgically attached to your feet or… ?

TIL people still wear VFFs

I disagree with you there, GOP has just as much control over media outlets, but the extent of control differs depending on which outlets you’re talking about.

…are they? They’re just incompetent in different ways. Not sure competent is how I’d describe them, they are a mess: The last election is proof of that.

Yeah I hate it when people just leave them in the middle of the sidewalk like they’re the main character in a video game or something.

How about… stop using META?

Carry an air horn, just for occasions like this.

Same here, Topeak Morph has become my go-to for a travel pump.

My take was more that cycling is one of a few different ways of getting around that was demonstrably healthier for you compared to non-active methods of transport like driving.

At the end of the day, they’re all good regardless of which one may or may not be “best” (in other words, anything is far better than nothing).

Also, to be fair, cycling is way faster than walking or running (sometimes it’s even faster than driving, especially when you factor in parking+traffic).

Now that I would actually consider getting! My bike already uses a 21700 light and I use 18650s in most of my flashlights.

Being able to swap out a dead battery and carry spares would eliminate my primary concern about battery powered pumps.

I’ll be sticking with hand pumps I think: There’s no battery to fail and the travel ones are pretty light.

I recommend the Topeak Morph series for use on the road and I use a Joe Blow at home that also works very well (I’ve even used it to inflate car tires before).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think everyone got the joke, but comedy is hard.

Awwwww shit, am I reinstalling Deus Ex for the millionth time?

Probably. That game was an absolute banger.
