@mitch @nicolashognon I like you picked a Pinion gearbox because the drivetrain practically needs zero maintenance
@mitch pretty sure I know the exact toot you're referencing, and I felt like replying with something similar, but I knew it'd be met with the "needs" of car ownership; needs I've never had once [β¦]

@mitch We already had that. It was called #Trabi.
@mitch I'd quite like to not get rained on too
@mitch Big Wheelie Style.
@mitch This is my friend's bike collection after selling off a bunch of them.
@mitch Cool. Now letβs put a tracker in it so it doesnβt get stolen. And voluntarily load it with sensors so you can track all your health activity

@mitch @texhewson Every day of the week.
@mitch to be fair, most people won't be to maintain and repair a Pinion gearbox
