You probably should add "Show HN:" in front of the title, since it's you who posted and did all this. Thank you for a great article!



Will do. But since it seems to have sunk without a trace I'm wondering if that's even worth it.

And you're welcome, that was a fun build.


> it seems to have sunk without a trace

Now, it's the top of this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/show


Yes, that's thanks to your comment. Was looking forward to some more tips on pack construction and safety, but fine.


Well thanks to both of you then! I browse by active when I have the time, and likely would have lost this article had it not still been at #1 when I woke up.

I love Jacques' posts, his lego sorting was legendary and I still share it often. As with another commenter, I had seen Jaques mention he was in the process of another article, and was waiting patiently.

The last few years have been really heavy, with some great creators dying of covid or just disappearing online one day.

Makes me extra grateful for the small rays of sunshine.

Joyner Lucas has a line in 'Will' that goes 'Ain’t nothing worse than losing your hero and couldn’t say bye, and we never know just when it’s our time, the legends are gone and we don’t know why, so before they go, look here go a toast so give ’em a rose while they still alive'

Thanks Jacques!


Wow, that means a lot. My silly projects usually just serve as me scratching some itch, the last couple have been out of the ball-park successful in the kind of response they generated and how people started using them as jump off point for their own stuff.

HN seems to be more for lawyers than for makers these days judging by the bulk of this thread (or fantasy cycling sports fans ;) ), I like to stick to the practical parts and I'm happy to see a couple of responses that don't do a deep dive into traffic rules and what I can or can not do legally to my bike.

So thank you for this.


My absolute pleasure- you, sir, are my hero and just wanted you to know some of us rely on you for inspiration in our own lives.
