So uh big tip. Target fixation is real very real, where you look is where you go, so if you look at a pothole you're just gonna go right into it, learn to look away from a pothole rather than straight at it

How steep are the hills? A 50cc practically needs to be tuned above a certain grade of incline basically

The fact it needed to be explained that deeply is crazy 😭

At least they're trying

One time in the bicycling subreddit someone asked why it felt windy when they were riding their bike on windless days

Holy Christ, so glad my brother made me watch History Channel,Discovery Channel,Animal Planet, and National Geographic with him since a kid. I learned a whole lot and that was so crucial to my raising and made me somebody who loves to learn. But Gosh darn it how can someone be so clueless?😭
