    I have, the contacts are clean. A friend has recommended replacing the battery in it, and I'll do that when I get my hands on the correct screwdriver to take it apart.

    Good explanation. I think it's a good site with some amazing artists on there, but the site has also been plagued with a lot of bad stuff.

    Speaking of DeviantArt, I have an account there, and I have had no real issues on that site, so I guess I have that going well.

    Welp, may have just had a *little* crash. Was going along a trail when I hit a tree stump, went over the handle bars, did a backbend while the bike went over top of me. It was quite impressive if I do say so myself lol

    Bike is going to need a little tlc xD
    Thankfully I don't.

    The selotape also had a hard time holding the battery bank in place.

    I tend to wear a small drawstring bag for carrying stuff like that when I'm riding.

    The USB lead from the front LED's on the bike isn't long enough for that sadly. My front lights weren't bright enough running from 2xAAA's so I drilled a hole in the back of it and soldered a USB lead onto it. So I mount the battery bank to the bike. Then use a second battery bank to charge it :p
    I usually take a rucksack with me so I can pack my hoodie away and carry extra water with me. Food too if I am going to be out for a while.

    Oh cool, so you will be making a better mount for it? Or sticking with tape (no pun intended)?

    Possibly, on the folding bike it was very easy to fit on the handlebars with tape and that held very well. On this bike it is a lot more awkward due to the design of everything. But it would be more convienient for charging and hot swapping the battery banks if one runs out.

    Some retarded kid at school tried to argue today that the fans in PCs are there to cool the person using it. And then he was mindblown and didnt believe me when I told him PCs got hot. I mean, thats just some common sense, its nothing really complex. And I dont even blame him for not knowing anything about PCs, hes just generally fucking stupid and I have to talk to him every single day...

    To be fair my sister used to think that wind turbines had motors in them that spun the blades, she had no idea it was the wind that made them rotate.

    Sounds like my childhood from when I used to think cars were a magical method of transportation, running solely on unicorn magic and fairy dust.


    Turns out I was wayyyy wrong...

    To be honest unicorn magic and fairy dust isn't that far away from blowing up dinosaurs :p

    Should I make a Bosozoku Miramar, or 88 Pessima?
