    There is a lot of information out there on improving cycling performance using wider tyres, waxed chains - but for me a lot of it centers around professional riders riding at 30mph, and not the recreational cyclist wanting to improve 15mph to 20mph

    I think there is a lot of data out there that can highlight affordable ways to do this - so you dont need top of the range tyres for the 15-20mph shift. Also recreational cyclists arent tied to UCI rules as they arent competitive - so can make changes in this area

    Id like to collate this information to help riders at a practical level

      I'd love to be reverse engineering whatever's in Area 51.

      Getting to know a 5 axis cnc would be second.

        Exactly what I want to be for now. A universal remote control for shared spaces.

        In the future, open source software & hardware for the benefit of people. I like FUTO's mission.

        Something that changes the stronghold that the insurance companies have on America.

          Something which is really technical, and complex enough that not many people can do that. And ofc it should earn be handsome money :)

                At the end of the day I just want a successful startup so I can sit home and work on games. Mobile, Steam, whatever. I just like games man that being said I know if I have a successful startup I probably won't have any time to myself but one can dream.
                • Honestly something which has users. Any OS project which has people actually using the software which isn't riddled with 100K PRs by LLMs or first year uni students trying to tick a checkbox.
