TIL my e-bike repair guilt turned into a proud moment
Fixing it was a hassle, but keeping it out of the landfill makes me smile.

Know that feeling way too well, spent three hours trying to fix a flat tire once only to realize I put the wheel back on totally crooked. Pretty sure my bike was judging me. But hey, even a bad fix feels better than just tossing something. You got it working and that's what counts.

Honestly, I just saw a thing online about how repair culture is actually fighting back against all this planned obsolescence. Tbh, it pointed out that keeping an e-bike running for a few more years saves a crazy amount of resources compared to buying new. Ngl, your story kinda proves the point that the hassle is worth it. That guilty feeling totally flips when you realize you're not just saving money, but also keeping junk out of the ground. Pretty cool how a simple fix can feel like a small win for the planet too.
