  • I have a Kinekt dual-spring suspension seatpost that I have been riding on for years. For the most part, I really like it and it works well to smooth out bumps in my ride. It has a decent amount of travel for shock absorption.

    However, it requires having the correct springs installed for the rider’s weight. If the springs are too soft, you’ll bottom out or bounce up and down as you pedal. Springs that are too stiff will nullify any benefit of having a suspension.

    It takes time to dial it in, but for anyone who suffers from back or pelvic pain, I recommend a good suspension seatpost.








  • Years ago, I once started a new warehouse job, and on day 4, as I was moving inventory on a pallet jack, I see a guy in a forklift zipping by…wearing headphones…plugged into an ipod.

    Everyone just accepted this. I didn’t, and I quit at the end of my shift, and told them why. I wasn’t about to get killed by someone driving a forklift who can’t hear their surroundings. Maybe I overreacted, but with how common forklift accidents are, I wasn’t taking the chance.



  • As someone who has both the Switch 2 and the Switch 1 OLED, I appreciate the performance boost that some of my games get with the 2, but I miss my OLED after giving it to my partner. I have even borrowed it a few times for handheld play because of the better screen and longer battery life.

    Ultimately it’s up to you and how badly you want to play Switch 2 exclusives right now. Devs are going to keep making Switch 1 compatible games for years, especially given current global economic trends and the scaling back of larger game dev studios.

    Personally, I would wait for Nintendo to make a Switch 2 with a better display. The display on mine is full of ghosting and once you notice it, you can’t un-see it and it’s disappointing.
