Will Pop_OS run OK on an old Surface Pro
  • I got it working on an old Surface Pro 3 I had sitting around. Haven’t tested the pen, but the touchscreen and Windows button work fine for me, which is amazing! I just had to turn off secure boot or whatever to install.

    The future of e-bikes in U.S. National Parks could be decided in the next few months

    www.themanual.com Electric bikes are everywhere these days. But should they be allowed on National Park trails too?

    Electric bike riding in U.S. National Parks is a contentious topic. Now the NPS wants to know what you think on whether they should be permanently banned?

    NYC will get $25M for public e-bike storage, charging at NYCHA buildings
  • It’s heartening to see some improvements that aren’t just ‘ban all eBikes!’

  • How do you protect your bike?
  • Great tips, thank you! I’ve got a U-lock/D-lock and a freaking heavy chain (Kryptonite New York Noose), so I really should probably stop stressing!

    I am registered with the police and Project529, but you’re right that those are worth mentioning!

  • How do you protect your bike?
  • I’ve definitely considered taking the battery and/or seat with me, but carrying around the wheel is one I hadn’t considered!

  • How do you protect your bike?
  • Yeah, I’ve got a mid-range Abus U/D lock, and a Kryptonite New York Noose chain. Probably should stop worrying so much about it, but it’s hard to accept maybe losing that much money!

    It’s mainly errands that I’m concerned about — same as you, I’ve got secure indoor storage at home and work. But I find myself reluctant to take it on errands versus Uber or transit, because of that risk of losing it.

    Clearly I need to get over it! Haha.

    New York City will get $25 million to create public safe storage and charging locations for e-bikes at public housing developments.

    How do you protect your bike?
  • Yeah, now that the bike isn’t brand new anymore, I do feel a bit that maybe I’m being overprotective, to my own detriment.

  • How do you protect your bike?

    So my dilemma: I bought my eBike to help me get around the city, because I don’t have a car and our transit has been going downhill since the pandemic.

    HOWEVER, I keep hearing how awful bike thefts are here, and the only way to keep my bike safe is to never let it out of my sight. Which severely limits the types of errand I can use it for.

    So — how do you keep your bike safe? Insurance? Alarm? System of expensive locks? Never leave it unattended? Have you ever had your bike stolen? Anything you wish you’d done differently?
