I deploy tire sealant it's very easy to just remove the valve core and dump some more in. Unseating the bead is needed from time to time, but sometimes it's nice the night before a race to dump some more goop in for peace of mind. In my opinion.

They pop off without much effort & I assume they're to prevent people from sticking their fingers under the lip of the seat.

Did it as an impoverished college student for an internship. In that situation it was totally worth it and I was only making the commute 6 months a year. Not sure I could do it now.
Have fun commuting to Fenway during gameday rush on the MBTA after sitting on a bus for an hour.

What makes it decent is that there is one. That's a massive improvement to most American cities.

I lived in Savin Hill and my commute was walking to UMass so I didn't need to use it for commutes but I didn't own a car back then and never had any problems when having to move about for other stuff. This is a few years back but I was back in Boston for a few weeks in summer and didn't really feel like it had gone to shit.

I agree that Logan is a fucking disaster. And Gillette is even worse. But Gillette never really bothered me since I'd always just catch a ride in someone else's car and enjoy the tailgating before and after the game instead of trying to get out as soon as the game ended and seething in the inevitable traffic.

If you voluntarily took a job (civilian) then why didn't you make the acquisition of a suitable residence a condition of taking that job?

All these weird non-siderod designs were made to provide traction on steep grades and to handle sketchy track, so yes lots of logging, mining and industrial use.

1) The beauty of bikepacking is that you can usually get food everyday (if only from a gas station)

2) pasta, instant mashed potatoes, peanuts, and snacks, lots of snacks. A box of cookies is like 6000 cal and 150g of protein, I dump the whole thing into a shopping bag so it takes less space and eat it over two days or so, most of it the first day because space. There's no shame in packing out a dozen donuts if you're burning the calories.
