Outrageous. A bit of concrete, a No Drive List, and/or a protected lane for bikers could have saved these Americans.

I promised my wife that I wouldn't pull the trigger until we get her job sorted out. That means I have time to dream and decide - should I buy a new Aventon with accessories for ~$2,500 or spend $2,500 on a used premium brand like Yuba, Trek, or Specialized with a mid-drive motor?

Important notes:

• The bike has to be stored outside - I can bring the battery inside during the winter, but the frame needs to stay in the mulch next to our air conditioning unit.
• We will keep this bike for years and years. Even when my sons (1 and 3 grow out of it), Lord willing, there will be more kids right behind them.
• The only nearby e-bike mechanics are 1) Trek, 2) an Aventon retailer and shop, and 3) a guy that works out of his garage.
• I can't stomach spending $3,000 or more (the Larry example attached is just a sample of what's in the area). I'd be all worked up about dropping it, the small chance of theft etc. Hence the choice between Cheap/New vs. Used/Premium.
• I can do some bike repairs myself.
• I want to be able to carry 2+ kids in a format that is low to the ground and easy to step through for my wife's sake.

What do you all think? I'd appreciate any advice!

Hi all, I’m interested in an Aventon Abound. Do we know what the sales will likely be? I’m hoping the sale price lands the bike in my price range for my two sons and I.

Thanks for any insight you might have!

At the beginning of the game I'm easily able to send out transports. I click on an island, a red target appears, and a transport ship leaves for that island. But later in the game I can't send out transports in any way. I can't click and send and there doesn't seem to be a button for this!?!

Hi everyone, what would you all recommend in this situation? I am Turkey, allied with Austria Hungary and Russia, against Britain, France, and Germany.

I am playing Turkey and am allied with Russia and Austria against France, England, and Germany. What should I do next turn? Ignore the date - this is a sandbox of a slow-moving over-the-board game at my company.

What are some tactics beyond alliances, verified orders, and public announcements. We need a way to make a comeback.

If the fleet in Sweden had been convoyed to LVN by a fleet in Bothnia, how would this move have ended?

​

I'd love to go ahead and publish, but can I assure my authors that we won't be made ineligible by releasing the book without the number? My friend says since we applied, publishing now will not complicate our eligibility.

I am managing an over the board, slow moving game at work. I think it would be wise to suggest a new win condition. "Two players may sign an alliance and share victory if they control 20 supply centers."

Is there any reason that would be a bad idea? I'm surprised that that doesn't appear in any version of the rules.

It would be helpful to hear from everyone's experience out there in the wild!

Our publisher, who uses Ingram, says the sale date of our book cannot be changed because we put up a presale link. They also fucked up our book so that the page numbers appear close to the spine instead of on the outside corners.

Are they telling the truth? Is it possible that we can’t make this fix so that future readers get the proper layout? I get that the few preorders are locked in place, but how can this be fixed moving forward?
