I studied physics and graduated in the field of atmospheric turbulence. I had the chance to work with people who were working on climate modelisation in the 90's. It's such an amount of work and 6 years of studying physics, mathematics and programming were not enough to fully understand how it worked. Now some politicians think we can control the weather and can't make the difference in scale between a hurricane and a cloud...and people think they may be better to save the economy... I don't understand the logic. Another thing is the way some politicians are treating disabled people. I felt disgusted the way they reacted to Walz's son. This time, elections are not about politics. I don't like it but it is what it is.

This is off topic, but here I go: Just wanted to stop in and say thanks for your videos. I had let my bike get really crusty over the last 10 years as I’ve really focused on running. Well, an injured runner is a cyclist, so I watched a good 20 of your tune up videos and started sprucing up my 2007 Jamis XTrail mtn bike. It rides better than new and I’m really enjoying riding again.

Greetings from a fellow cyclist (and channel subscriber) in Canada. I realize it's none of our business to say anything, but jeez, you guys are scaring us! Left versus right policies are one thing, but authoritarianism is something else. I wouldn't normally care, but what happens in the US eventually comes to Canada. Democracy is on the line here. If America goes, we all go. Good luck on Tuesday.

@BikeFarmer Fair play to you for making this video in such a divided climate. As a European, what you said about wanting more parties is the best. The binary voting system you have combined with the binary social media and main stream media really has led the US down a very dark path. Such systems reward extreme views… and sometimes of those views are extreme just for the sake of it. You really need more choice and politicians with actually different views.

I'm sorry but Biden did not ruin the country.. I love to travel all over the world and the US has the strongest economy in the world after the pandemic, thanks to the economic polices.. yes prices are up, but they are up all over, luckily the value of the dollar is stronger than it has every been. I find it strange to see people complain about a "horrible economy" while they are out to eat or on their way to buy a $80,000 pick up truck. Drilling for oil and energy independence is at an all time high.. I know that if you only watch certain news channels it's easy to be fooled into thinking that the US is in some sort of free fall.. it is not.. and Trump has no plan other than putting tariff on for international goods. That will just be passed on to you. Trust me, if Trump has an extra tax added on his hotels, do you think that he just eats it or does the price of the rooms just go up. That's how it works. So, it's not Hate for Trump, I didn't hear him say that , I heard him say he can vote for a man that has no moral fiber or character. It's time for the Republicans to stand up, and send Trump to the curb. and regain their party or they will forever be gone.

Appreciate your candor, pleasant and conversational. We need a lot more of this discourse today. I completely disagree with you politically, but that is ok. I spent time defending this country during war to preserve your right to have your opinion and vocalize it. So it's all good. Like you I don't like DJT as a friend, and likely wouldn't pal with him. I don't hate him though. For my money, he is a strong leader and will do good things again for this country as he did before. To be clear though, DJT is not going after his political opponents with the military (some on the other side would argue it's just the opposite with the DoJ). That seems to be something I've heard in certain circles. The military I know and love would never "go after" our citizens. So do not fear that. BTW, I love my Dual Sport and it seems to be rock solid for just about anything I want to do. It's simple two with a single crank. TY for helping me learn a lot more about my bikes and being frugal!

If he wins, and there are protests against him, he will immediately use military force to break up those protests. That's what he is saying. He also claims that his criminal convictions are politically motivated. They aren't. He did those things. He's just using his new role as a politician to hide his criminal rise to power. He has also blatantly disrespected people that have served our country, which should be enough right there. Imagine Harris dancing on the graves of our soldiers for a photo op.

Before retiring, I worked at a small town hospital, the largest employer in the county. Very few cyclists in that community! The only other cyclist at the hospital was a far-right Tea Party guy. But because of there being no other cyclists to "talk shop with"(his term), we became...pals. Whenever the workload was slow, we hung out and nerded out. Truly the odd couple of cycling. Eventually, he was fired for refusing to get the Covid jab, and that coincided with me retiring and moving to the rural hinterlands; gravel road utopia. The right wing cyclist had to take a job in an urban area. We laughed about us ending up where you'd least expect us. What has really surprised me is that the Tea Party cyclist has wanted to stay in touch and we text regularly, about cycling, of course. But even more remarkably, he sends me lovely photos of his young kids, and I've sent pics of my grandkids. In these seemingly hopeless times, maybe this offers at least a glimmer of hope. Maybe we can set aside our differences if we can recognize what we have in common with our political adversaries.

Not because I love him and place him on a pedestal (where you express concerns of "authoritarianism"), but more so because I believe many of the premises and perceptions are off-the-mark. e.g.: Hispanic Kids being bullied because kids don't understand the nuance, of citizens vs. non-citizens, and legal vs. illegal immigration, etc. On this particular matter, I'd say that it's terrible that kids would behave this way, but it's also terrible that Trump seems to be the only person willing to defend our national borders from (literally) millions upon millions of people just strolling in. The full effects of what is occurring are difficult to quantify, but we do know it's costing citizen taxpayers upwards of $400 Billion/year and placing other burdens on communities (housing, social services, crime, etc.) which they are unable to handle. His platform to secure the border has always been to make sure people enter through legal channels and to prevent illegal immigration. That's it. It has never been a racial thing (although it's often spun this way by news orgs). So, in this case, I don't think it's fair to view kids being mean to each other in school as a reason to dislike Trump. Beyond this, I'd simply add that my own view is Trump's reputation has been incredibly damaged by misleading "news" reporting and headlines, which without question turn up the vitriol against him, far beyond the extent of rationality. The attempts to end his life during this campaign are a testament to this. I'm about half-way through his Rogan podcast, and honestly, it's not easy for me to listen to him talk so much. However, I am getting a better understanding of "how to listen" to him, through that interview. And you get an idea of what's important to him. Hint: He loves America. So he's got that going for him, which is nice. Thanks again for making this video, which I'm sure will be strongly promoted by RU-vid's algorithm. :)

Somehow this vid popped up. Interesting both why it happened and also the mixed content. Bike repair, golf, politics. Since the content really was meant political, a point should've been said, we don't like any of these cloaked dictators, but worse is the decimation of our voting process. Harris has been forcefully placed. Do we need to remind the World as they intently watch the US, how the Democrat primary was a sham to its voter base? Party leaders plummeted their own, Biden, the president of the US of America. They did this after 14 million voters had him as dominant Democrat candidate. Open ones eyes. Who really is the 'party' of dictator? Obviously not the GOP.

They believe what they hear and they only listen to sources that don't tell the full truth. The media in the 60's would have called Trump to account so relentlessly he wouldn't have gotten 5% in the primaries. The media back then would overlook infidelities but not permit non-stop lying about government matters. Instead they treated him as a serious candidate, couldn't stop themselves from covering him for fear of share loss and resulting revenue loss, and that plus the TV familiarity and incessant whining from the wealthy about supposed welfare queens taking advantage of the government primed the pump for a thoroughly modern con man. And since he was elected in 2016 - the loving up to Putin!! He couldn't have gotten a security clearance to save his soul! The 25th Amendment would have been invoked if he got this far in the 1970s.

If you have time to read, I highly recommend "The Fourth Turning" and "The Fourth Turning is Now". Van Neistat does a few cool videos on breaking the books' content down. It explains a lot and could hurt your brain as it did mine. But! It explains that because of where we are at in history, there is a lot of Purple people, while the red and blue people have a louder voice. I would say I'm right of center but not too far right. Others would say they are left of center, but not too left. This means we are purple (not red and not blue) Either way, the book lays out what will happen based on what has happened in history. At some point, something happens where the purple people become self-aware and start changing the course of history for the better. I have faith in our country that we will do this, regardless of what party or group is in office.

"Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem... heinous attack" - Donald Trump on January 7th, 2021. But the problem is, he speaks strong rhetoric and makes sweeping statements. It's not good. An ideal politician does not have such a strong rhetoric as Donald Trump. Clearly he thinks there is grounds that the election was rigged. All audits show that it wasn't. Yet 3/10 Americans do think the 2020 election was rigged. I just tried googling what Trumps arguments are for the election being rigged, and the first two pages of results on google are all left-leaning websites calling him bad, insane, evil, etc... what? that's not what I googled. It's painfully obvious why people don't trust the media. CBS, NBC, and ABC are one echo chamber. FOX is another. Trump also speaks about "the enemy within". This is bad language for a presidential candidate to use. It is far too charged. Many newspapers and media sources take it far out of proportion, saying he wants to actually use the military on anyone who doesn't vote for him... that's insane. that's not what he said. That's not what would happen if he wins. He was a president for four years - and at a high level - he was just like any other president. Just that, a president, not a dictator. Now, we all have blind spots. Hillary Clinton called anyone who votes for Donald Trump a "deplorable". Joe Biden just called anyone who votes for Donald Trump "garbage". Barack Obama said "you aren't black". Kamala Harris does these things too. if you vote for Trump... these are quotes, in correct context. So clearly, if you are going to completely reject Trump for his divisive rhetoric you need to apply the same logic to the other side. He's also been called Hitler, fascist, all that. How is that morally better than the rhetoric Trump speaks? So here we are. Both sides of the aisle have people speaking inflamed rhetoric. So how do you vote? Do you just choose to ignore one side and fully listen to the other? That doesn't seem very logical, does it? So do we all vote third party and make our vote effectively meaningless in this election?

It's time to ditch the PTFE lubes which contain micro-plastics. Not only micro-plastics but forever chemical plastics which are breathed in and last forever in lungs, get into soil and taken up by roots, ending up in leaves and food. MP are in every living thing on the planet now. I've taken the stuff to chemical disposal places. Plain old white wax works better than any lube or grease ever did on my chains. I use it on other parts for the same reasons. Also, tungsten disulfide is even better than moly. It's easy to heat parts up a bit and dab wax on things, or use Squrt. Unlike the other lubes, wax is water proof and dirt proof and doesn't attract dust. An old pot with wax on very low on a hot plate is a great parts cleaner. Melted wax is basically kerosene, but it's so much easier and safer to dispose of, and leaves parts not only clean but lubricated and non-toxic. Just keep the temps low or use a double boiler with water, and keep an extinguisher and lid ready. Only in a well ventilated shop. I actually use Gulf wax canning wax. That's how non -toxic it is.

If Kamala were convicted of dozens of felonies and had more down the pike, i dont think she would stand a chance of winning. Its not like our parties are so different fundamenally. Or they didnt use to be. I dont get it. I wont say a thing at Thanksgiving, but if im pressed i will try to have an open discussion. We will survive whichever administration and im nervous. But i will not allow our education system, our free journalistic outlets or our public institutions to be silenced, censored or defunded.
