  • Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.

    Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.

    Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.

    I’ll give you a BIFL answer that’s not super heavy on performance. I’ll assume your primary goal is commuting or some light exercise.

    1. Stay away from carbon fibre. Stick to aluminium or better yet, steel.
    2. Choose a bike that has a fanbase. For example Bromptons or Surlys are expensive for what they are but you can maintain them for a lifetime.
    3. Stay away from the cheapest bikes. If you’re going for a low budget bike try to stick with a mainstream reputed bike brand like Giant.
    4. A belt drive is more hassle free if you have the budget.

    This is just pro Israeli propaganda. This specific conflict started in 1948. The whole UN has voted against Isreal. And you’re telling me that that region will have all out war if Israeli troops stopped killing children? GTF outta here.
