I hate how there's a lack of standardization in bike parts, especially electric bikes. I should be able to click stuff together like legos but no there have to be weird proprietary seat posts or frames designed to only take one type of wheel. Frustrating
Also I hate how expensive it is to move cross country if you have stuff or pets. You're telling me I'm supposed to find a job thousands of miles away and then get settled in 2 weeks after they hire me?
I bought fenders that are supposed to be mostly universal for my bike and it took me TWO HOURS to get them on my bike, because I have like the only Surley bike that has this weird design near the dropouts/rear drivetrain and I had to rig it together in some weird way....Same thing with my rear bike rack
