       Little birdies tell me VanMoof has officially collapsed. They'll be making a statement shortly.If you own one of their bikes now is the time to grab your encryption keys before their servers go offline: https://github.com/grossartig/vanmoof-encryption-key-exporter

       @phill Van Moof? Weren't they those who put the front lamp in the frame and not on the front wheel handle so that the light never lits in the direction you want to go?That's nearly a design flaw like the Apple mouse with the charging port on the bottom side, preventing the usage of the mouse while charging?

       @toor @phill Personally, I recently moved the headlight from the fork to my new front rack (because they were touching when cornering, blocking the steering and risking damaging the headlight), so it’s now linked to the frame and no longer to the steering. Surprisingly, I find it much better. Of course, in tight bends, I can’t see as well, but having it on the fork tended to plunge the beam downwards in this case (and tilting it a lot), so that in wider (and faster) bends, I couldn’t see as far as I can now (the beam being relatively wide on the SON Edelux II (this headligh is excellent)).And it’s more stable on straights lines and wide bends.So after all, a fixed position isn’t totally stupid, and personally I prefer it.
