Winter Cycling Tips:

Studded tires make riding a bicycle on ice much safer. The front one insures you won't fall on your face, the rear one helps give you enough traction to move forward.

Full coverage fenders will keep your bike significantly cleaner, which means it corrode far less. And they keep snow/slush/water from flying up at you too.

Cold drains batteries much quicker. Consider getting a dynamo lighting setup so you don't have to rely on batteries.

Your body generates a significant amount of heat while cycling, so it is best to dress so you will be somewhat cold the first mile or two, then you are more likely to be comfortable for the rest of the ride.

VI comes with a clock up in the corner of the screen so you actually have something tethering you to reality.

Already got plenty of people to talk to in my head, a Wilson wouldn't be necessary. Could make one anyways if there is enough boredom.

A hut sounds more appealing than a cave, but the right cave could make me consider it.

BMX hubs tend to come with 3/8" axles rather than 10mm, which can potentially make it more difficult to find spare parts.

Cheap hubs, whether BMX or not, do sacrifice durability to get a low price. If you want your wheels to last, don't go too cheap. With single speed hubs, if they use sealed cartridge bearings, then they are probably nice enough to last a long time. There are options for high quality loose ball bearing hubs too, but they will typically cost more than an entry level cartridge bearing hub.

Offer them a hug. 2074 sounds like a scary time to be alive.

Adding a trailer to your ebike let's you have 4 wheels and the ability to carry gear without having to use a car.

Nah, many brands are capable of making a decent MTB. If you are grabbing something new, $1000 gets you an OK hardtail, $2000 gets you an OK full-suspension. Spending more gets you higher quality parts and lighter weight. Spending less, better to go used.

I'd add a tail.

Plasma Mobile with your distro of choice. Works better than Gnome or normal Plasma, especially when it comes to the on screen keyboard.

My head is now clipping through a cardboard box full of stuff. I assume that wouldn't be very survivable.

I picked pawb because furries know tech really well, so I can trust the server to be fairly reliable.
