I've since reindexed the rear and front derailleurs. Shifting is back to normal. I've noticed other issues though.

The front and rear wheels are no longer true and have some pretty visible deviation. They can only spin freely if the rim brake quick release is open. The rear wheel is also making some kind of rubbing sound, as if rubbing against the brakes, but as far as I can visually tell, they it isn't.

The chain also sometimes rubs against the front derailleur in a certain gear and when under load. There is no creaking sound, so I don't think it's the bottom bracket. Some say it's frame flex. My bike is aluminium. I don't know how flexy that is.

The rear rim brake calliper is also gunged up and does not return to its original position after closing. It looks pretty dirty though. But since the calliper is from Tektro, I decided to spend 20 bucks to get a Shimano 105 calliper. The tektro one can then be used for learning purposes!

Just last week, I got my first bike with disc brakes.

I'm wondering how often these discs get smashed beyond the point where they can be bent back into shape, and how prepared I should be for that possibility. Assuming that I don't take this bike onto rough trails, I mean.

It looks like the rear disc on my Ride1Up Roadster V3 attaches directly to the motorized hub, so it has wider-spaced bolt holes than the front disc. I'm not sure where I'd source a replacement.

Should doctors have the power to take away peoples drivers license? :P

No, but cars are often bad, often not necessary even when we think they are – and bicycles are often a great solution for health and wellbeing, in addition to air quality, climate, social relations, environment and freedom! More often than we think.

Reddit-post: Mate lost his licence for DUI and it's been the best So just over 6 months ago a bloke I used to work with (Jeff) got done for DUI in a big way which meant he lost his licence for 6 months. He lives in a rural area with no public transport or taxi service. Now Jeff has been called a (edit: fat) (typo:fast) bastard for years by his friends, so when he said he would have to ride a push bike about 15km to get to work we all laughed at him. We expected he would either drop dead of a heart attack or give up quickly. I have not seen Jeff since I gave him a spare bike I had, expecting it to be little used. However, this week a Lycra clad fella I barely recognised turns up and it's Jeff, 40 kilos lighter, to hand the bike back. Not only had Jeff lost over 40 kilos, he's now off his blood pressure medicine, his sleeping tablets, most of his beers and a few other medicines. His doctor has taken him off his high risk group and reckons he's added at least 10 years to his life expectancy. He has his licence back but does not drive to work much. Of course now instead of being a fat bastard he's one of those MAMIL bastards on his flash new bike, riding 50-100km regularly with his new cycling girlfriend. The 3 of us are going away for MTB riding trip this weekend together and I bet they are going to leave me for dead. I cycle regularly but not as much as Jeff. Better that than him dying early. Good thing he lost his licence.

A throwback from yesterday, a #family trip to #ParkSolacki with #KidsOnBikes, #WifeOnBike and #DadOnBike - the human tow truck!😂 It looks fabulous, but it’s so mentally exhausting controlling 3 clumsy riders around you…😂
