@jerzone@techhub.social63°F and it's like a different world out there. Hung winter bikes in garage rafters and got out the warm weather bikes. Took kid on a ride with his new bike (priortiy continuum onyx), which has a CVT. As you twist the "shifter" it just steadily gets easier or harder to pedal and this cute little stretchy indicator changes to show it.

#EndFossilFuels @jerzone That's great indicator design.
I thought this thing was an electronic display at first. But no, it's a physical thing that gets squished into another shape, which is both clever and strange.
@EverydayMoggie a fancy rubber band!
@jerzone As someone that's worked as a sorta-kinda "engineer" along with designers, it's super cool when something fun like that actually sees the light of day.
I've never ridden a bike with a CVT. Do you feel like you loose any energy to the transmission?
@swansonite I really couldn’t say, just a short ride on flat rail trail. The kid said it was hard to pedal up a steep hill, “well, this is your first bike ride this year!”
“Ooh, right.”
@jerzone Nice looking setup
I'll bet it's really quiet with the belt drive. Hadn't seen this CVT with a belt before but it makes a lot of sense...
@jerzone I've got an enviolo on my r&m multitinker e-cargo bike. I love it. Always great to find just the right gear for easy pedaling.
