Aha! Now I understand what they mean when they say aluminum bikes are less durable than steel. Great. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2023/02/can-we-make-bicycles-sustainable-again #Bicycle #BuyItForLife

@malte your frame looks like steel with those sleeves. you sure those handlebars are alu? (magnet test?)

alu bikes are not necessarily less durable. yes, steel is harder than alu, but alu pipes are made thicker to compensate. durability depends on design.

I'm a Copenhagener, of course I'm biking home.

@pelle They feel very light, I would guess they are alu

@malte I hear alu has a tendency for catastrophic failure while steel will usually bend first

@malte du er vild!

@reynir Mængden af københavnere der kører med hånden på ét styr (og den anden på telefonen) er jo i forvejen ret høj, når man tænker over det. Det ser bare lidt tosset ud. Og selvfølgelig ikke nogen mulighed for at gribe fat i den anden side af styret hvis det kikser

@malte jeg er heller ikke bleg for at cykle på lidt alternative måder men dog lidt risky med et løst styr tænker jeg. Godt du nåede uskadt frem!
