Why there are no (to my knowledge) electric bikes with 700c tires? All the ones I’ve seen use fat tires, what is the reason behind that? Cc [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/c/nostu
  • Just Google "electric road bikes" and you'll see that there are loads:

    https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/best-road-ebikes/

    They're more popular in downhill mountain biking because the sport is going down a hill, getting back the hill is just an inconvenience to be mitigated as much as possible!

    While obviously it's handy in commuting, so they're common on folding bikes, but road bikes are designed pretty much for racing, so there's less demands for electric versions (but obviously still enough that they exist!)

  • Wouldn't it make more sense to build slightly bigger semi detached houses?! They'd use less materials and look much better.

    These are the size of a British 2 bed terraced house (we don't usually build semi or detached houses that small), it's livable, but very much a starter home for most people.

    But ultimately the proportions of these look ridiculous!

  • Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled?
  • Swiping is nice and all, even though you rarely write a whole sentence without it getting a word wrong and what you wrote not even being a suggestion, but it's nowhere near the speed of typing.

    Unless you're doing that only with your thumb as well?

  • 66% of Americans want European-style vacation policies, like being OOO for the entire month of August
  • The Communists of the USSR didn't like vacation time, but accepted it as necessary for workers to reset and return to work refreshed.

    They believed that once their systems were perfected vacation would become unnecessary and workers could work all year without breaks.

    It's pretty terrifying that there are still people in leadership positions who haven't accepted these fundamental facts of work!

  • Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
  • Awesome that you've switched to cycling, it's crazy how expensive your insurance is though!

    I just got a quote for my ebike, it's only £60/year!

    In the UK plenty of cars cost less than £300/year to insure...
