Pretty durable. Better than carbon and can compete with aluminium – since the build is filled.


> Better than carbon

[citation needed]


Carbon bikes are made from hollow tubes, hollow tubes can buckle / collapse, plus carbon bikes are designed for lightness, not sturdiness. Wood can take a beating, but is a lot heavier.


Hollowness is nonsensical argument. Hollow tubes maximize strength per weight


The wooden bikes mentioned are made from hollow tubes too. "Materia Bikes frames are hollow and lightweight"


Carbon bikes are made for stiffness and ride quality - you can make equally light bikes with Alu / Ti.


I must admit that they look very nice!


I think that each of these chats or groups should be looked upon as new separate circle or list of people. Like a lot of friend lists, which overlap, cross etc., but without the updating hassle.


I have always been lazy to update those lists. Now I see the logic behind that. :)


Yeah, I guess you're right. I just write about stuff that catches my eye in my day to day work. Lately I've seen so many apps from bussinesses that are just terrible, that I decided to write about this. Sorry about wasting your time.


Yeah, I had missed this one. My bad. Just found the revision section. Then this isn't +1 google. Hope you don't see reading that blog post as a waste of time...


Thanks for the article, sorry for piling on just for one point :)


the article isn't meant to be offensive. Android is great platform and Instagram is cool service too. I just see Instagram as platform, not just another photo hosting service for twitter. Any other thoughts?


This is about how twitter handles mentions made by private accounts. My point is that there is a room for improvement!
