I'm thinking about getting into biking. I've never ridden before. I really like the RE Classic 350, but don't want to buy something that looks good only to drop it repeatedly as a beginner. How bad is it when you drop a bike? Wouldn't all that weight coming down on the pedals/shifter do some damage, or is it more cosmetic? Also, if you have a 400lb bike and it is laying on its side, do you need to be able to dead-lift 400lbs to right it again? On a similar note, how cheap is too cheap when going used? And how old is too old? I've seen a decent number of 2000s Yamaha V-Stars for sale in my area. Are they a decent bike? I think its carburated.

I have a neighbor let’s call her M. She has a dog and that’s how I met her because there’s about several people to get together and have the dogs play in our common area where I live. The last few months she’s gotten to become someone that I end up seeing all the time and talking to. Mainly because when I walk my dog, she’s always walking her dogs, and she retired so we chitchat and now sometimes we share food. She’s very generous and shares dog treats with me and in a pinch. If I needed help and emergency, she probably help me. Here’s where to me it’s going left.
I’ve noticed that she is the most gossipy nosy person in this community. She knows people by their unit number lol and then proceeds to tell me all the gossip on the marriages , on who died, who got surgery who’s animal got surgery who is moving out etc. and would’ve noticed this is not a once in a while thing it’s every time I talk to her she’s talking about somebody in our community and it’s making me want to keep my distance.
The other thing is sometimes she’s extremely rude and the way she talks. I think it’s her personality. I think she has ADHD may be a little something else but it’s like she has two personalities. And I’ve let it go a few times but I’ve worked on boundaries my whole life because I didn’t have any before and I’m putting them up now. Tonight I ended up getting rude back and walked away.
The last thing is she text me every day . If she hears me ask another neighbor something she’ll go home look it up and text me the answer with pictures. If I say anything, she’ll send me pictures or a link to where I can get what I’m looking for or solve the problem that I have. I started to not reply back and then when she sees me outside she’s like did you get my text did you get my text?
I’ve not really hung out with her that much. I invited her over for lunch outside on my patio and then she took me to lunch last week but I’m just realizing I don’t have anything in common with her and we are completely two different people. I’m actually 13 years younger and she’s old for her age actually.
So I’m torn between texting her and just telling her that I have nothing against her and I appreciate the neighborly efforts and so if she ever needs anything on an emergency to go ahead and text me or call me but other than that I just appreciate if she kept her text to me a minimum or I’m not sure what to say
Part of me wants to just tell her she’s rude and I don’t like the way she talks to me but then again, so people can’t take criticism. I don’t even want to go that deep. I just want to disassociate myself.
What should I do?
One last thing I did block her I guess I forgot and so today she asked me if I saw her text about a bike that she saw for sale and I told her I didn’t get it so we got an argument lol oh well I don’t even want this energy around me

i have a crosscurrent x now and it's fine, but eventually i will want to get my third bike from them (the first was broken af and then stolen, woops) - jetcrurent is amazing looking but i do ubereats and use it as my primary transportation and am wondering others opinions on how big of an upgrade it really is and if it's worth paying more for one instead of waiting for an eventual crosscurrent sale - also is the foldable part something that is going to be prone to breaking or is it durable?

The wife and I are looking at buying a house, going to have to be out of Dublin because who can afford a house in Dublin these days, plus they're all tiny.
Once a week I'm in the office in Dublin, this is going to necessitate a second car, it's always possible I can ride my bike to a train station or something, but there will be times I won't want to do this due to weather etc.
Money will obviously be tight, and considering it's only for once a week... Am I crazy for wanting to finally get a 90s MX5 considering I would be driving it in summer and winter? (I feel like I only see them around in summer). I've seen them going for less than €6k regularly.
Other option would be an old civic, (like an eg/ek, what can I say, I'm a 90s Japanese car fan), but I keep only seeing the euro hatches for sale.

I see all time expensive bike racks being discussed or asked. I however stumbled upon Allen Bike rack which is currently on sale for just $79 here. This is for my Model Y with tow hitch. I assembled and put in on today and this is my impression -

• Assembly took 10 mins by me. No help needed. • Attaching to the car hitch took 30 seconds. • Comes with locking mechanism and I found that to be super convenient. • Very lightweight and I was able to attach to car myself easily. • Slim profile and low height so it does not block rear view mirror. • Can be lowered down to open the trunk. 

I am not planning for heavy use so for me this was a huge cost savings and seems to have pretty much same feature and much more expensive brand. Just my 2 cents for folks looking for tow.

I'm looking to get into biking and looking for a good beginner bike. I loved biking when I was younger and looking to get a decent bike but not break the bank. What are everyone's opinion Avalanche Sport. Also are 27.5 tires or 29 tires better? It's usually 850 and on sale for 600 so I was thinking about pulling the trigger since it's on sale. But want to hear from a mountain biking community.

This was a fun course. The PA tasks were long, but interesting nonetheless because you had to really analyze your business decisions and such. Even with the accompanying reading in the course material, you could probably do this whole course in 1-2 days if you really went hard (the Simulation doesn't take long either).
With regards to the Simulation, my cumulative total performance score was about 41 (you need 0.001 to not have to do it again). My recommendations are below:

• Have a bike for every market segment, even if it's not your primary or secondary focus. I was focused on "Mountain" and "Speed", but I made a bike for "Recreation" that matched the Customer Needs information and was priced with rebates about $100 below the recommended max price in Q1, and it was a nice source of profit that sold very well.
• Go aggressive on advertising early on, spending close to the maximum amount it will allow you and focusing heavily on the most popular form of media. Nice thing about focusing on "Mountain" and "Speed" was that they both favored Bike Magazines as their most favored ad source, and it's relatively cheap.
• Buy enough 3D Printers and generously allocate overtime. I majorly under-estimated potential sales in Q2, and ended up with a ton of stockouts and a loss of over 100 sales in Q3 from ill will. Just remember, you need to buy them now so you can have them in the next quarter (same for opening stores).
• "Mountain" segment buyers don't care about cheap bikes. When I started out, I made a cheaper mountain bike and a more expensive one with all the features (but still about $50 below the recommended max price with rebates), and the buyers all went for the more expensive one.
• Experiment with your ads, and shamelessly copy the effective ones competitors use. I never managed to get an ad above "90", and I think my highest scoring ad was an 84.
• If you're minting money and have a ton of cash flow, go hard for the R&D upgrades -especially the enhanced carbon fiber upgrade.
• I started with NYC, then Amsterdam, then Rio (I was opening Bangalore as the game ended).
• Focus hard on stuff that works after Q2. If you do it right, you can wipe the floor with the other firms - I ended the game with 41% market share in Recreation, 58% market share in Mountain, and 42% market share in Speed (not getting that carbon fiber upgrade fast enough hit my sales a bit).
• Don't be afraid to go over 7 employees per store in the later quarters. I had 12 in each by the end.

Do this all right, and your business should be an absolute cash and net income machine. I actually wish I'd spent more aggressively on ads and R&D, but I was constrained by production.

Located in Washington state and can’t seem to find an rs100 online for sale anywhere. Anyone know where to locate one or have any suggestions for similar bikes?

As per a market veteran, greed is at every level. There is greed with F&O traders, hedge funds and exchanges facing M/W/D expiry. Since greed at such expiries are natural, why blame hedge funds for our actions and losses? It is wrong to blame others for our failure to understand the risks of F&O trading. If retail investors don't know the tricks of trading, they should simply step aside and do nothing. Volatility on expiry day is a given fact. One should know how to play against the big sharks or else stay away from F&O trading. We just create excuses for our failure in understanding the terms of business and the risks involved as everyone is addicted to F&O trading despite the huge losses. It is impossible for them to control their greed. Interpreting the right direction on expiry day is a must if one has to survive the volatility in the markets.
As per a market veteran, when market is on its peak, avoid tip and rumor-based trading, as there are chances of getting trapped. Do your own research for every company you choose to invest in. Follow very strictly the single rule allocation - not more than 7-9% of the portfolio in a single stock even if the promoter says so. Do not trade if the concept of the trade is not clear in your mind. Till 4th June, there will be wild volatile swings both ways. But if you have taken a trade without having the clear concept, you will get trapped.
As per a market veteran, never sell your winners to average out your losers! Otherwise, the day is not far when you will end up having a bunch of losers only! Bull markets are like marathons. Those who run it know the importance of consistency and discipline. People expect calamities and catastrophic in steady bull markets. So invest energy to develop patience and face them. Ride the tide and don’t time the ride.

As per a market veteran, greed is at every level. There is greed with F&O traders, hedge funds and exchanges facing M/W/D expiry. Since greed at such expiries are natural, why blame hedge funds for our actions and losses? It is wrong to blame others for our failure to understand the risks of F&O trading. If retail investors don't know the tricks of trading, they should simply step aside and do nothing. Volatility on expiry day is a given fact. One should know how to play against the big sharks or else stay away from F&O trading. We just create excuses for our failure in understanding the terms of business and the risks involved as everyone is addicted to F&O trading despite the huge losses. It is impossible for them to control their greed. Interpreting the right direction on expiry day is a must if one has to survive the volatility in the markets.
As per a market veteran, when market is on its peak, avoid tip and rumor-based trading, as there are chances of getting trapped. Do your own research for every company you choose to invest in. Follow very strictly the single rule allocation - not more than 7-9% of the portfolio in a single stock even if the promoter says so. Do not trade if the concept of the trade is not clear in your mind. Till 4th June, there will be wild volatile swings both ways. But if you have taken a trade without having the clear concept, you will get trapped.
As per a market veteran, never sell your winners to average out your losers! Otherwise, the day is not far when you will end up having a bunch of losers only! Bull markets are like marathons. Those who run it know the importance of consistency and discipline. People expect calamities and catastrophic in steady bull markets. So invest energy to develop patience and face them. Ride the tide and don’t time the ride.

I'm a novice cyclist. I started cycling because I'm interested in doing sprint marathons. My primary interest is to monitor my heart rate, track distance, see the time, gather some riding data, etc. I don't ride with groups, won't be doing any tours or anything like that, and don't plan to get a power meter anytime soon.
The Edge 1030 Plus is on sale on Amazon for $329, and the 840 is $399. The 840 has more features, but the 1030 seems like a better deal. I already have an HRM Pro Plus. Which one of these bike computers would be better suited for me?

Started after my intership at an advertising agency. My co-workers said that it's a good starter salary, especially with all the benefits. It's a very exciting but often stressfull job. In the long run, I want to be a marketing director for a well-known brand, but focus is on gaining experience at an agency, dealing with different clients in different indsutries etc.
FYI: An account executive in advertising is not a sales job, it's more client servicing/project management for different campaigns.
