@MartyCormack asks:

Q2. I am interested in phenology: the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, especially in relation to climate, plant and animal life

Cycling nearly every day gets me outside often to see what's happening in nature. In Minnesota, there are wide variations in the progression of the seasons.

Are other cyclists doing the same? What tools or techniques do you use to record observations?

Look I admit I am a cheapskate, at best an enthusiastic bargain hunter.

But I just can't bring myself to pay much over $100 for a pair of bibs.

Am I being too cheap - are $200+ bibs really worth the cost?

How am I to criticize my partner's spending on fashion items if I am spending more on my hobby clothes?

This does not surprise me. Poor battery quality seems to plague e-bikes with after market kits (and others). BUT there is a failure in relation of the sellers - Amazon and Ebay sell this risky shit all the time with no come back. Maybe they should be forced to take responsibility - and that includes criminal liability.
