Bosch eBike CEO Claus Fleischer on the next stages of the e-bike market and how the consumer wants, or more specifically, needs, are changing with time. For now, the focus is on value packages, but price point accessibility is in mind: https://www.cyclingelectric.com/in-depth/bosch-ebike-systems-ceo-interview

Hey #Boston folks, I desperately need a job. But also I can't keep getting jobs that hurt me. My time in food service is done (my skin can't handle the constant washing and chemical exposure). But the only suggestions people "doing better" than me suggest all seem... either disconnected from "real" work at best, or straight up parasitic at worst.

I'm good with my hands, I'm smart, I'm flexible and can (and my ADHD means I need to) move from desk to field or shop work easily. I'm computer-savvy for a hands-on worker, I can research, strategize, and apply physical solutions and create detailed and accurate logs.

I'd love to keep working with bikes, but all the big companies did a capitalism and are putting the screws to small local shops, so everyone is tightening their belts now...

But I can't sell myself, or afford/build a life around a car. Most trades require you to have a car, if not a truck. Most city jobs require you to have a CDL, which... come the fuck on.

I'm tired. I'm sapped. And I'm running out of money.

I could really use a hand.

#bicycle ride in summer clothes. When the nights are cold but midday sunny and warm, I opt for sneaking out of work for a few hours.

The #bikeindustry would like you to think you are facing certain death in your ride if you ride dirt roads[1] without huge volume tubeless tires, #gravel specific parts, accessories and clothing but really 25mm road #tubulars are enough for all but a tiny fraction of dirt paths and trails as long as they are dry, you might just go a wee bit slower.

The weird thing is I felt super all ride but 2h30 later I was sick and puking all my body.
