I didn’t get any loaners, but was able to get a feel for several road, gravel cross bikes. Ended up on the lower end of the budget which was still a huge upgrade. Thanks for the advice
That was the decision, and the correct one. Ended up with a Giant Revolt 2, and couldn’t be happier.
I agree with you on the stumbling as well as the phone being the primary tool. I find that I venture in every couple of days as opposed to whenever I find 10 minutes to blow. Jerboa for Android isn’t a terrible experience (also not great). I don’t know the status of Sync for Lemmy, but that has been my go to for Reddit.
Difficult to make that call. I will say that having the hand forced to find alternatives was eye opening. I feel like engaging in this space is more pleasant, but there is a definite learning curve. I find it refreshing that there is a consistency of content after leaving and coming back after a few hours. On the flip side, the one thing I enjoy about the Reddit experience is the evolution of the comments over time. There just isn’t quite the same throughput here and threads just aren’t real dynamic. I feel like going forward there is likely to be a mix of both, with the hope that this takes hold.
Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to delete user data from Reddit?
Honestly, the first one was joyful. However, there was a learning curve after upgrading from a 93 hybrid. Adjustments, tweaks and education have since made for an even better experience. I don’t know what took me so long to modernize.
