Highly recommend Adam Savage’s latest video! He spent years using a bike as his primary transit in NYC and understands the freedom it brings. Nice to see a prominent voice validating that we don't need 4,000lb boxes just to navigate a city.

A benchtop helper you didn't know you needed, the WH-1 holds nearly any bicycle wheel in place to aid in a wide variety of wheel and tire work.
