Why do people think low cost items are cheaper to ship?

Dear Bike Industry: Can We Talk About Helmet Visors? Jeremy shares his opinions on mountain bike helmet visors and asks why we don’t have more sun-blocking options for road and gravel.

Never seen a helmet with a functional visor. Purely there to differentiate mountain bikers from roadies. All about style.

A little meandering around Halifax yesterday. This stone erection on the #northwestarm called the #dingletower was still open. #halifax #urbanexploring #notabirdphoto

Omfg that show was so bad on so many fronts. I couldn't stop watching it because it was such a train wreck. The writing, acting, set decoration, all so so bad.

Saw one of the cast on something else recently and realized she was amazing. The writing was holding her back.

4000km of pipes underground, but can't have electricity underground because, something.

The wife slowing to a walk at the end of a 26.6km run! Shearwater to Seaforth. I tried to get bird photos between dropping her off and picking her up, but she's too fast. #birdingfail #halfmarathon #saltmarshtrail #wifeisabadass

The cardinal, not uncommon at all, but has maintained it's elusiveness from my lens, due to trying not to be creepy in my hood. Finally got a photo of this fella, although a bit early in the day for good light. #northerncardinal #birding #bird #birdphotography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

While out taking some photos from the shore in Dartmouth, I saw this, and I agree. "Bike Good Mayor Bad" #hfxcyling #bikehfx #bikehalifax #bikegoodmayorbad

yeah, you could probably do even cheaper at one of the welding supply stores like Linde, Messer, or Air Liquide.

Not sure the species as I'm not very good with insect ID, but a bee. It's got it's face in the flower like I do in an IPA after work. #macrophotography #bumblebee #bee #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #insectphotography #macro #nature #insect #flower

I think listing to 95.7 would also do this. Lol
