I remember seeing a bike at NAHBS when it was local several years back that was set up almost that way, but it was the left side that was open and right side had stays.
@CristianCiupitu @gschenk Interesting video that kind of shows difference between sunscreen and sunblock by using a UV camera: youtube.com/watch?v=GRD-xvlhGMc (the terms are very much not consistently used, and there's also a whole "chemical" definition used, but basically one reflects and the other absorbs)
@Criggie So, when a synonym is created, it basically changes all future use of the synonym to the main ("lead") tag. As mods, we would probably also want to perform a tag merge (rename all existing uses of the synonym to the main tag, or remove it it both tags are already on a question).
In cycling, we use the terms Clydesdale or Athena to identify riders who are a few sigmas above the mean in terms of weight. I’m surprised we don’t have these tags.
There is a tag “heavy” but many Clydesdale and Athena riders find this term (as well as the f*t word) to be pejorative.

Let's see... 32,380 km... Call it about $1700 for the bike... Plus... uhm... at least a dozen chains, a few cassettes, lots of tires... a couple wheels... I think I'm probably at a bit over 10 cents per km.
And, yeah, California is also a really big state with a really big population. There's both big populated urban and suburban areas (multiple big metro areas around LA and SF), and big wild areas, with stuff where there's areas that people live right next to the wild stuff, even right in it, or smaller communities in the middle of otherwise wild areas.
@DeletedUser Bit more than that, even... (1) A lot of big trees (like literally the biggest trees in the world) growing for hundreds of years here. (2) Most of California has experienced severe drought for quite a few years, (3) (your first), a very rainy 2016/2017 rain season (enough to officially end drought in many areas), (4) summer 2017 had multiple major heat waves, (5) and then again 2018 had major heat waves.
It's very rare for any kind of urban or suburban home around here to be purely wood only (and I think it's straight up banned to include a fireplace in a new home now). It's mostly rural homes that are purely wood heated.
California got fairly serious about air quality a few decades ago. The SF Bay Area has an "air quality management district" that declares both summer and winter "spare the air days". When one of those is active in winter, it's illegal to burn wood unless it's your home's only source of heat.
@Criggie I live 140 miles from the recent norcal fires (and right in the middle of where the worst california fire was a year ago), so... for a couple of weeks... air filter in house (smoke-rated filter in the furnace), minimal outdoor activity, basic disposable N95 mask for brief outdoor activities, and when I got fed up with inactivity, full respirator thing (P100+organic vapor) for ride to work.
Oh, and if I'd gone with particulate only filters, those were included (and super-cheap). Those cartridges are P100 (tiny particles) and organic vapors, because I was being super-conservative about it.
@DeletedUser I did my morning commute (50 minutes) a couple times in that. Airflow is fine for moderate pace. Basically it requires a bit of extra effort to breath compared to without it and that's just too much effort at higher speeds.
