Too many people in the Philly bike club are notoriously cheap. On more than one occasion I and a couple of others have supplemented tips.
One ride I used to lead every year went to a small lunch counter type place associated with a marina. A dozen people was a lunch rush for them, but they always gave us fast, friendly service and offered to fill our bottles with ice and water. I felt compelled to tell the group to make sure they tip well after I witnessed people cheaping out one year. |

I'm surprised they haven't made an electric bike for bikepacking and called it the eNomad.

I screamed, let go of my grip on the tree, fell to the ground and ran screaming for the kitchen door. I think I got off a lot lighter than I thought at the time, but for decades after I could still see a couple tiny red marks where the f***ers got me.

I've heard some folks don't tip, or tip very poorly, any place they don't expect to come back to, like if they're on vacation. When I was a busboy at a sit-down restaurant in Gettysburg one summer, I saw a table of 8 people who were there for hours, and left an ungodly mess (kids plastering food on every square inch within the range of their arms) and left a dollar tip.

I didn’t know what it was at the time. Posted a photo of it. Can’t remember which forum, but a member identified it for me. Looked it up on Google Images. He was correct. |

Anyone using any of the current Giro road helmets? I have always liked how well Giro helmets ventilate. The Kask Mojito 3X I bought last year, despite being very comfortable, seems to have negative ventilation and needs to be demoted to commuting/errand duty.

When I was a yut, one of the local radio stations looped R.E M.'s It's the End of the World as We Know It for a couple/few days, with no explanation. Turns out they'd been bought and came back with a modified format afterwards.

That thing is so friggin cool. For those that don't know, it has a fan that sucks it down to create downforce. Scary fast car.
The most unusual Chaparral was the 2J. On the chassis' sides bottom edges were articulated plastic skirts that sealed against the ground (a technology that would later appear in Formula One). Two fans adapted from a military tank engine were housed at the rear, driven by a single two-stroke twin-cylinder engine.[5] The car had a "skirt" made of Lexan extending to the ground on both sides, laterally on the back of the car, and laterally from just aft of the front wheels. It was integrated with the suspension system so the bottom of the skirt would maintain a distance of one inch from the ground regardless of g-forces or anomalies in the road surface. The skirting produced a zone within which the fans could create a vacuum producing downforce on the order of 1.25 to 1.50 g when the car was fully loaded (fuel, oil, coolant). |
