Yeah, those do work - and if you want to try this out, just cut open a PET bottle or a bigger plastic container and ziptie them somehow to your handlebars. That does look totally wonky, but it works by keeping your hands out of the headwind. Wear your normal gloves underneath

Yeah, sounds like a bad idea, but also a bad tour guide. Throw someone who really has not much MTB experience down a difficult mountain trail? And when he injures himself, just tell him that he is fine?

Just imagine how people back then would be thinking about women riding in lycra

I was talking about stuff like “Let’s drill a whole in the body for no purpose” and “destroy the wheel”. That video would have worked without destroying the bike - without those action you would be able to put everything back together.

They can be lighter than tubes. Even those fance Aerothans weigh 80gr, but you can get inserts starting from 40gr. Foam is really light weight.

There are some really, really stupid design decisions made. But I really don’t like that they are destroying the bike in the process. It might be a piece of crap, but it totally is a cool collectors item.

Exactly this - Join-Lemmy.org has some (minor) UI and text issues. I’m also not quite happy about the sorting of the instances and the selection there. If f.e. you chose “General -> English” during onboarding, you get this screen here:

Hexbear? Some random 11 user instance from finland? Lemmy.world nowhere to be seen? They are randomizing the instances, which kind of makes sense to prevent the bigger ones from growing even more, but which might confuse new users.

But those are minor UI quirks that can be solved. All those reddit couch warriors that claim that everything should be completely redone exactly how they want it to be are insane. Normal users are able to understand the concept of instances.
