It's ok on the road or levelled gravel, but yeah no so great on trails with loose rocks and logs to get over ... for that you need a good high power head torch and cautious riding style, lol
I really enjoyed the first two seasons, the third was ok with some good bits in it.
Trams are awesome, I've used them quite a bit in Sheffield and Valencia and in both cases they were the best solution where an underground metro wasn't feasible.
The problem arises when a cartoonist takes on something serious. It puts those two compartments together and rips out your heart, like First Dog on the Moon did today.
First time is 8 hours, second time 2, third can be 45 mins. I wouldn't worry about changing tubeless tires though, for me that's worth paying someone 20€, lol
At this time of year it's dark, so I go the long way around which is mostly paved road, lol
Step 1: find a job in the middle of nowhere.
Step 2: move there.
Sounds easy, no? To achieve it I moved to another country, learned a new language, took a 50% pay cut, and living here requires a lot more work just to be comfortable ... but I live halfway up a mountain in the middle of a nature reserve, it was worth it for me.
Under Decks, like Lower Decks but lower, lower, lower, TOO LOW, lower.
Doing plugs is super easy, but not a permanent fix ... for me they've only ever lasted about 1000km (but then a permanent plug put in by a tire shop can be found).
Changing tubes is a PITA, it requires practice and the right tools. I made my own trail stand and combination tire lever / wrench set because the off-the-shelf parts are expensive. So far I've only used it at home, but it only has to be needed once in the middle of nowhere to be worth it!
It really does do that, though then having to go to work instead of keep riding brings me down to earth with a bump, lol
Depends on where you are, where you go, and how you live - a lot of the world lives off less than $10USD a day. Before I moved I was getting by, now I'm financially comfortable despite having much less money.
