You are given a budget $10 million. You MUST complete a round the world trip. The choice of aircraft, route, and modifications are up to you, but you must start and finish at the same point, crossing the antipode of your starting point at some point in your journey. Any money you do not spend, you get to keep. How little are you spending?

Spend 50 bucks on a bicycle from classifieds, 100 bucks on tires, tubes and spares, then go and live of little every month. Consumerism is degenerate and all consumption, regardless of what marketing wants to tell you, is harmful to the environment and by extension to your kin.

Are there any countries out there that will take in newly minted, but older commercial helo pilot? I dont care if its some dangerous shithole Im willing to make sacrifices

Russia. They currently have a shortage of helo pilots for some reason.

>>2040916 Lol
Doubt it.
>>2040913 Brazil is the second largest helo market in the world after the US. If you can't find a job there, doubt you'll find it anywhere.

I used to have a regular bike and now want to get into e-bikes (I moved to a hilly place and also want to extend my range). So I started looking into budget-friendly e-bikes, and at first was surprised that there are so many options. Then I started doing some slightly deeper research into the specs that I actually want in an e-bike and how reliable certain bikes are, and I found that the actually good bikes are expensive. All the cheaper e-bikes seem to be from Chinese manufacturers with weird names, little online presence and poor specs for the price (if you compare them to DIY kits with same motor same battery etc). So I started having a couple of concerns:>Can I easily change batteries or electronic components on a cheap e-bike? >Can I even get a battery that has a mounting solution that other batteries use, or are they all proprietary? >Can I get motors that don't suck for a fair price? >Is the Chinese company that makes my bike gonna disappear in the next 2 years? If so, will I be able to get spare parts? And most importantly:>Are all e-bikes under 1500$ essentially the same? They seem to all have similar specs, but give no information if one battery will fit onto another bike and so on. Are they trying to sell us garbage? Is there any good alternative in the budget e-bike market that doesn't suck? If not, does any of you have experience with making a DIY e-bike, and is it worth it?

Ebikes start about 250 fires a year in my city, sometimes commercial often residential, and no matter how many new safety rules they make, people manage to get around them. Needless to say, it's the shit kind that causes all the mayhem. A "good" ebike is about as much as a motorcycle, except with most motorcycles, you can be fairly confident that in 10 years you'll be able to find parts for it. Unlikely to be true for any ebike you buy today, cheap or not. For $1500 you can get a very capable, pedal-it-yourself road bike (or gravel bike if that's your kink) that can tackle hills and distance with ease. Obviously if you are totally out of shape there will be an adjustment process but it doesn't take long assuming you're reasonably young (say under 50). They are also far simpler to maintain and use standardized parts in most cases ignoring shit like Specialized's stupid bouncy headset or Pinarello's weird micro-suspension.

what are you going to do when world runs out of 26 inch rim brake wheels?

The next big innovation in cycling technology will be bespoke wheel/tire sizes. I'm sick of one size fits all wheels, forks, and chainstays. I am sick and tired of being too big for 650b but too small for 700c. I want my 675bc wheels ffs. Enve has a fundamental moral obligation to team up with Classified and Gravaa to make a bike just for me, with bespoke geometry and wheel size, a 2x wireless IGH that changes tire pressure as I ride, oh and there would be LOOK cranks with infinitely variable length and q factor depending on how stiff I'm feeling that day, and on the fly micro-adjustable-reach brifters so that it works with or without my thick winter gloves, And a micro-dropper post so that when I switch between winter pedals and summer pedals the 2mm stack height difference is accounted for automatically, and Selle Trannica Di2 saddles that could be radio controlled and hooked up to transgender onlyfans whores who could be sposored to use a special internet enabled ball gag to control the remote prosthetic tongue to massage my anus while I'm pedaling to give me extra watts. There would be a smell-o-meter hitched to her nose to provide real-time low-latency feedback of course. I believe these are very reasonable innovations to expect and I look forward to seeing them being made available to consumers by 2026.

>>2040610 Why do you consider 650b as too small?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>2040616 To be clear I'm talking about road tires not the 650b + fat tires like the gravel bros are into. And mostly just superstition over actual experience. With new bikes I have usually found myself straddling two sizes, and based on unpleasant surprises in the past, I tend to size up because sizing down gets me into problem areas like not being able to cleanly fit the bottle in the bottle cage, or (mostly in my head) fear of toe strike, things like that. 140+160 rotor asymmetry which isn't a real problem but it irritates me in principle because this isn't a downhill bike so wtf. And maybe other stuff where it makes me think people my size are an afterthought. So I have a conspiracy theory in my head that all popular components are for beanpole freaks and bike standards are designed around that, and the rest of us are just habituated to dealing with the side effects of sub-optimal proportions for the parts.

Quoted By:
>>2040607 26" is the global wheel size and also the most common wheel size in America because nothing has ever sold like old school MTBs did.
It isn't going anywhere.

>>2040590 >the plane already exists is airworthy and is converted to vip spec Exactly the same as the VC25Bs. The Qatari jet will have to wait in line behind the two 747s Boeing is modding for the current contract.
And "No". They can't work on all of them at the same time. Boeing can't even walk and chew gum.
