  Hey Frank!  I disagree.  Humanity is important and this was/is one of the few online places you can glimpse the best of it and/or escape, momentarily, the worst of it.
  
  It's possibly an age-R thing where the younguns are in their family phase and don't have time for distractions that don't pay the bills but the time will come back and this place will be missed.
  
  Not by you apparently but everything's not for everyone.  I get it. (Salute gremlin)
  
  Thanks for the African digging stories, and the escape from Conakry caper with the fake satellite phones, AK47s in the garden, and digging the parasites out of the hounds.  Good times.
  
  Crocodile cases ftw.

  Sold my trail bike and my DH bike when COVID hit. Bought an eMTB and became lone wolf ebike warrior, accessing far-away and unused trails with the power of electrons. Ended up doing some unbelievable rides, single greatest bike development since bikes themselves. 

  
  

  Kids are roasting it on their bikes. 

  
  

  Bikes still great!
  

  
  

  Off IG but had to return to Strut to read about the Biz. 

  
  

  
  

  
  Oh man an ebike? That's the like CTI of biking. Real headz are on their custom steel hardtails listening to strata east and crushing.
  

  
  

  Frame is pre-Soulstrut, xtr crank and crabon (sic) forks and bars make it light AF.  It'll rust through eventually but seems nothing lasts forever

  Dukodelic!!!
  
  Just about warm enough to get out weekend mornings. I did, in olden times, commute in coldest months but got fed up getting throat and sinus infections.  Just not worth it.  
  
  I do get to ride out to the old monastery ruins as they do those obscene flapjacks and mocha to make the juice worth the squeeze.  I don't have an ebike because they are still ridiculously expensive here and ridiculously desirable to thieves with mobile angle grinders.
  
  I got some new brakes for the Bontrager Privateer that need fitting and probably need to recommission my moving parts collection bike for #2 son who is now 14(!) and much taller.
