Bicycle Graveyards are Growing in China and Elsewhere
Do you remember your first bicycle? How old were you when you learned to ride without training wheels? Did you ever get so balanced that you could glide without your hands on the steering wheel? I did. I loved my bikes when I was a kid. My first bike was a tiny rainbow colored bike with plastic fringe dangling from the handle bars and training wheels that sounded like a train on the boardwalk at the beach. My next bike was a yellow banana seat bike with the groovy ram head curved up handlebars and the tall curved metal back post. After that, I got my first big name bike (A HUFFY!) and it was sooooo cool! Pink, my favorite color at that time with a fat cushion motorcycle-style seat. It was tough and hardy and the thick tires could handle multiple terrains from cement to gravel to mud. I could write a whole book on all the adventures I had on my Huffy. After that one, I got my "young adult" bike for my 12th birthday present. It was new and totally different from any of the previous bikes I had. A 10-speed bicycle with gears that changed and thin tires for faster speed. The ram curved handlebar style was flipped upside down so that my body leaned downward for aero-dynamics. It was cool. I learned how to balance so well on those thin tires that I could practically ride it like a unicycle, hands off the bars. I think the 10-speed bike was the last bike I ever owned that I actually got to enjoy riding, though I've had several bikes since that time. That bike must have cursed me because any bike I've tried to enjoy since that 10-speed has been some kind of nightmare. I wanted to share a bit of my personal feelings about bike ownership or biking in general before I talk about the main subject of my article: Bike Graveyards.

Is Your Audi in "Limp Mode"? It Might Not Be What You Think.
When your Audi suddenly loses power, refuses to accelerate, and feels sluggish, it has likely entered a protective state called "limp mode." This nerve-wracking experience is often a direct result of the EPC (Electronic Power Control) light illuminating on your dashboard, indicating a fault with the throttle body or a critical engine sensor. While many drivers assume this means a catastrophic engine failure is imminent, the root cause is often a failure in the complex "drive-by-wire" system that manages throttle response. We cover the full range of causes in our complete guide to the Audi EPC light, but understanding why your car enters this limp mode is the first step to a proper diagnosis.

Inner-Edge Tire Wear on Mercedes
Summary: When the inner shoulders of your Mercedes tires wear first, the suspension is telling you that geometry and damping disagree. Minor alignment drift, aging rubber bushings, and tired shocks/struts let the wheel move where it shouldn’t—especially under braking and over sharp bumps. A two-minute driveway check can reveal whether you need alignment only or parts + alignment. Fixing the cause early saves tires, restores braking stability, and brings back that signature Mercedes calm.
