No, the insurance companies are going to go bankrupt, and tell their customers get bent while their executives fuck off to the Alps. Hopefully the hoi polloi have a government that's capable of bailing them out of such dire straits bu

Yeah, if your butt isn't in the saddle, you're standing to race up a hill. I've always considered aerodynamics to be a weird consideration for saddles. But that manta saddle looks wrong to me; like it's gonna end up pu

If there's one place Musk has proven his worth, it's entering a crowded market late and taking the same approach as the competition. Ah, nevermind. He's just pissing away investor money. Must be fun!
