Hey folks!

A bit of background: I'm a software engineer by trade, but I'm currently on sabbatical doing a year-long working holiday in Australia. I love riding bikes but only had the most beginner-level knowledge of them before I found a job at a bike shop. This was a fun personal project to try to capture some of what I've learned so far, targeted at fellow beginners. It's going to be incomplete/lacking if you already have some bike knowledge, but I hope you all enjoyed it all the same.

Please keep the feedback coming; it's late in Australia, but I want to make sure the bike info is at least accurate, if not comprehensive!

Text speed is fine in my opinion, but what is most disruptive is that I couldn’t select it.

You put too much effort into the prose to be keeping it caged.

I hadn’t considered that! Since I’m using canvas, I’d have to roll my own selection code since what’s displayed is just a bitmap. But I may fall down that rabbit hole someday :)
