  • Fair point. Not all sellers are good, for sure. This does take some buyer responsibility. I do feel that buying something that I can reasonably tell is the seed I’m looking for, planting it in small containers to test that they’re as advertised, and then transplanting to my garden is acceptable. I have bought from bigger sellers and had nearly identical experiences as the small Etsy ones. I only buy from inside my country. Additionally, some of the small sellers actually are licensed. This is all much better than buying a burpee “pollinator/meadow” mix that’s just Siberian wallflower and Chinese stuff mixed in with 5-10% native aster.

    So I guess it needs more context than simply “go buy from Etsy.”










  • You don’t sound shitty to your own eyes, but I’d wager others take it different. It reads as dismissive and combative.

    People do it because no outcome is a lock; you can prepare all you want but you may get a flat.

    And see? You dismissed me out of hand. Be kind. You don’t even know what kind of riding I’m doing, how long, where, or with what kind of child seat. I ride a lot in places that one could be commuting, to many different businesses/parks. The technical difference in my purpose makes little difference in how my bike physically interacts with roads/sidewalks.

    Be cool man, if bikers in a bike forum can’t at least be chill we have NO chance against the cars.
