@#8046 No strong opinion, but "biking" probably. That is, the activity, not the things. Gear recommendation, bike repairs etc should be on-topic still, but it is not the main focus of the site - compared with for example SE Bicycles which has a pretty strong focus on bike mechanics & repairs.

A: How should I prepare for and react to unleashed dogs when hiking with young children? I suppose answers may depend somewhat on where in the world you are. What rights and obligations do humans and dogs have in general, or in certain areas. For example dogs might be forbidden unleashed/entirely in certain national parks. This is mainly out of concern for the wildlife. But in general... (more) |

A: It seems odd to have both "bikes" and "biking" as top-level tags I believe [biking] and [bikes] should be synonymous indeed (or we can probably just remove one tag or the other). I don't think any deeper considerations were made when picking tags and a lot of them also appeared as part of post imports from Stack Exchange. There is no obvious need to use tag hie... (more) |

A: How effective are Air (1) Pistols and (2) Rifles, bought in Canadian retailers, against dangerous animals? Generally you shouldn't shoot wild animals with air guns since they might cause permanent harm. The non-lethal methods listed in your link are likely to be both more efficient and less harmful for the animal. You should use whatever is recommended by the local authorities. Air rifles will cause se... (more) |

It might be that the one you think is standing guard is actually sleeping or dozing and the other is the one on actual guard duty. It might be sitting on a place with a better/different overview of the surroundings. (more) |

A: How can I get oil out of my MTB disc brake pads? This guy knows what he is talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXQxLK6z5WA There's also some hints in the video where oil might be coming from. To summarize, use isopropyl or the specialized WD40 brake cleaner spray. You likely have to disassemble the breaks in order to clean them proper... (more) |

A: How do I safely ride my road bike in the winter? I started commuting by bike last year because of Covid and have kept it up all year around ever since - even though I live in bike-unfriendly Sweden where cold, snow, ice and compact darkness is to be expected. Always use a helmet, obviously. In any weather. Apart from the obvious, here are misc t... (more) |

So maybe you are supposed to hang the flower pot against a wall by hanging the ring on a nail or such. (more) |

A: What is this object in my garden (that looks like a bomb)? It could be an old rusty flower pot, of the kind that you hang up in strings or chains. For reference, see for example this. In which case the holes on top (which is actually the bottom) is there to drain surplus water from the soil. Is there a second metal ring on the other side? It's not a bomb,... (more) |

If you got a car with a roof rack, then I suppose you could secure the flashlight there with good old fashioned ropes. Or maybe look for a light designed to be mounted on such a rack. (more) |

A: Are there ice-skates that will strap to a full shank mountaineering boot? There are indeed long distance skates with straps that you should be able to use regardless of what boots you have. Maybe something like these would work in your case: (more) |

A: Why are Fjällräven sleeping bags so expensive? The particular Fjällräven brand has a bit of a peculiar story - it started with backpacks that were originally designed as very functional and practical in the 1960s. From the 1960s to 1990s, the brand was mainly used by people who appreciated outdoor lifestyle and practical use, more so than fashion... (more) |

@Olin Lathrop Not sure if I buy that argument, the strain that would make a difference in this case would be forces to the left/right vs the direction of travel, on the saddle bar specifically. It seems very unlikely that what little force that gets transferred to that bar would have any notable imp... (more) |

I agree that importing is problematic, particularly when the site has low activity. But it should still be an option, one that needs to be very carefully used. Instead of stopping imports, we should come up with written policies for the procedure. How often should imports be allowed, who are allowed ... (more) |

I think it is reasonable to carefully review questions upon the point where they are imported and edit them at that point in time alone. (more) |

Is there a reason why bikes are not unisex to this day? The only reason is some sexism well over 100 years back, where they designed special bikes for women so they could ride while wearing a skirt. No idea why men couldn't use the same bike model as women back then... some 19th century macho thing. ... (more) |

Place food spiked with laxatives in those boxes at regular basis? :) Or maybe ask to have a camera put up. (more) |

A: When are cottontail rabbits most active? As far as I know, all rabbits (domesticated or wild) are most active at both dawn and dusk - they are crepuscular. The reason for this behavior is supposedly to avoid predators. So either head out at dawn or in the evening, for best chances of spotting them. Additionally (according to Wikpedia), c... (more) |

A: Why would crows be dropping something into a pond? In addition to the answer by @Pastychomper which seems to be the most likely reason in this specific case, crows often seem to leave dry food into puddles/small ponds in order to make it easier to chew and swallow later on. Things like small dead animals (birds, frogs, mice etc), bread or meat stole... (more) |
