Just now came across this post, but this is a fun idea. I am definitely going to sign up. Thanks for this!

In the 5 years I’ve had my current bike, I think it’s on it’s fourth drivetrain?

How many miles a day are you putting on that thing to go through so many?!

His death, at a care facility, was from complications of a 2015 biking accident in which he sustained severe head trauma, said his wife, Jacqueline Phelan, a writer and former national off-road biking champion who is his only immediate survivor.

I didn’t know that was why he died. Imagine your whole life dedicated to the very thing that causes you to die. Terrible.

I bought an old cheap Thinkpad 8GB RAM 256GB SSD on ebay.

Changed out the battery and put Linux Mint on it. Total costs, including new battery was around $130. I love this thing! Now it’s my everyday driver.

Love the idea, but too expensive for me.
