+
+[Baba Is You](https://hempuli.com/baba/) is a delightfully constructed puzzle game from 2017. I like it.
+
+It features a simple but powerful mechanic of putting together rules that modify gameplay.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+At it's core you need to get yourself to the goal. You can change the rules to make this possible.
+
+The visuals are simple pixel graphics, of tiles on a grid. You push the tiles around 
+to form rules, which take effect immeadiately. 
+Rules are ony valid left to right or top to bottom.  If rules contradict each other, the first rule
+is kept, and the unused rule is crossed out.
+
+The rules, at their simplest, are structured `NOUN OP VERB`. 
+
+`NOUN`s are colour coded word tiles, with a matching icon out in the game. 
+`baba` is paired with a white sheep like icon. 
+`tree` with a green pine tree icon. And so on.
+
+`OP`s are joining words in white text, like `is` or `and` or `has`.
+They associate `NOUN`s and `VERBs` with each other, or with themselves. There's even a `not`.
+
+ `VERB`s are black text on coloured backgrounds. They're like `push`, `pull`, `stop`, and more.
+Each verb imbues one property to associated nouns.
+
+You use the rules to help you move icons and word tiles around so you can win.
+
+The `you` verb defines which nounds are under direct player control, and you need to get
+ one of those icons to the same space as an icon ruled as `win`. Do that and you win the level.
+
+By default, only text can be pushed around by whatever is you. 
+All other icons are background dressing, unless a rule attaches to their `NOUN`.
+All the active rules are on the level grid you're on, and also summarized on the pause menu.
+
+Each area gently introduces you to one or two new concepts at a time, with a few variation on
+the theme.
+The selection of nouns change up at each to keep the visuals fresh throughout the dozens of levels.
+
+---
+
+I appreciate that Baba Is You repeatedly makes you re-assess your assumptions about 
+how rules work and interact.  There's no time limit for any levels, so you can solve and try things at your own pace.
+You can always restart the level, and undo all moves back to the start state, which is
+much appreciated.
+
+My only complaint is that there's a bit of a wall between the introductory levels of an
+area and anything that's extra, which is a little jarring. This isn't much of a problem
+since you can progress through areas non-linearly, leaving challenges to be solved later.
+Like many puzzle games, the "AHA!" moments when you solve them are satisfying, because of
+how clever you feel.
+
+These simple properties provide a wide range of puzzle possibilities and the breadth of
+verbs and ops keep the game interesting.
+I've been playing together with friends, by streaming it over [Discord](https://discord.com/).
+They can suggest solutions, but only if they've figured it out while watching. 
+There's no point if they're just relating someone elses solutions.
+If I wanted that, I'd look them up myself.
+
+Once I get to the point of being totally stuck, I may in watch a speed run to learn the best tricks.

+
+I'm intending to go to Burning Man for a second time. 
+One place where I underdid it, was getting the cheapest bike that fit.
+It was old.
+It was rusty.
+The best thing about it was its blue colour.
+It was a pain to move anything other than myself with it.
+
+So this year, I'd like to try something different, if a bit spendier: a folding electric bike.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+Some of this was spurred by other members of my camp having them last time.
+
+---
+
+The problem with an old cheap bike, is that you get problems associated with an old cheap bike. 
+For me, this was mechanical problems: from bolts being rusted solid to their holes, to tires being persistently deflating, to gear changes, and a rusty chain.
+
+I did take it into a mechanic to replace the chain, and tires, and get it minimally safe to ride.
+Sadly, it didn't last through the burn.
+The new chain began to seize up from the existing rust on the gearing, and the tires developed slow leaks from the rust in the tire rims.
+The pedals and handlebar are non-removable from the rusted bolts, which is inconvenient for transit.
+
+On top of that, I underestimated how useful it would be to carry things around Black Rock City, especially ice from [Arctica](https://burningman.org/event/participate/volunteering/teams/arctica/). 
+The bike had no cargo space to speak of.
+It was hilarious getting a bag of ice back to camp in my lap.
+
+All in all, while what I had worked, it wasn't convenient by any stretch for my rudimentary bike maintenance skills.
+
+---
+
+What I'm looking for is:
+  * Folding: It can transit to the burn more easily.
+  * Cargo space: I like bringing things along, and have space to put decorations or similar.
+  * Electric: Because Zooms. That, and to give it purpose outside of one week this summer. Seattle has hills.
+
+Weight isn't so much a factor, since the transporting is going to be handled by cars or trucks, rather than being carried up and down stairs.
+
+Finally cost: If I plan on taking it to Black Rock City, it needs to be a price where I won't feel awful if it doesn't survive the experience.
+
+---
+
+This weekend, during the gaps in the rain, I tried out some electric folding bikes at [Electric and Folding Bikes NW](http://ebikesnw.com/), and at [RadPower](https://www.radpowerbikes.com/).
+While both stops were educational, I think I'll probably be getting a [Lectric XP 2.0 Step Thru](https://lectricebikes.com/collections/ebikes/products/xp-step-thru-white), from the internet instead.
+Ultimately, it comes down to a combination being able to fit on the bike and cost.
+
+At EBikesNW, I tried out a [Brompton](https://us.brompton.com/shop/bikes/electric-c-line-explore) and a [Tern](https://www.ternbicycles.com/us/bikes/473/vektron), and glanced at a non-electric [Dahon](https://www.electricvehiclesnw.com/product/dahon-vybe-d7-4291.htm).
+
+Overall, I think I liked the Brompton the most, because of how small and light it is.
+
+The few electric bikes I've tried all have the same feeling zippiness, but the Brompton's architecture makes it feel nimble.
+Kind of like moving from a thick marker to a fine tip pen.
+That's probably the 16 inch wheels over the 20 inch ones.
+But the accessories aren't set for load hauling, more commute bags that work with the bike.
+No basket for example.
+That's not as amazing for Burning Man, when my goal is something that can make ice runs easier, or lug things around Seattle's hills.
+So it would be great for my commute, and other travel, but not for the burn. 
+Certainly not at that cost.
+
+Maybe as a later upgrade for my commute, if I like the commute I get out of the Lectric.
+I won't go into commute uses too much right now, but the short version is I would need to bike way more to justify that cost.
+
+---
+
+At RadPower: the [RadExpand 5](https://www.radpowerbikes.com/pages/new-electric-folding-bikes-2022-radexpand) doesn't work for my 6'2" w/ 34" inseam.
+Their [size chart](https://radpowerbikes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041789974-Bike-Fitting-Guide) is spot on. 
+I needed another 3-5 inches to sit comfortably with my knees not going into the handlebars.
+It's 1500 base cost, before taxes, accessories, and then needing to do the rest of the assembly myself, made it a non starter.
+
+Early March, [they discontinued the RadMini line for the RadExpand](https://www.radpowerbikes.com/blogs/the-scenic-route/the-electric-bike-revolution-radmini-original-to-radexpand).
+But they still had some of their previous model, the RadMini 4, in store for me to try.
+They worked much better for my size and were quite comfortable!
+However, there was still the same cost issue to get going.
+One needs to pay a fair amount to be able to have the carry racks for them, and that's before a basket.
+
+So, probably all I'll get from RadPower in the near future are [reflective safety stickers](https://www.radpowerbikes.com/collections/accessories/products/reflective-sticker), and a [cargo net](https://www.radpowerbikes.com/products/cargo-net).
+
+---
+
+Meanwhile everything I've seen for the Lectric is that it would accommodate my size.
+They come standard with piles of other things I like, like a front suspension fork, a neat battery/motor display, wide handlebars and flip up pedals.
+Even with getting the cargo baskets, they're still end up with something cheaper than I'd get at RadPower.
+Similar to the RadPower folding bike, it's about 64 lbs, which is pretty weighty.
+
+The main issue is I haven't tried it.
+
+I've had to binge several reviews to get to my conclusion.
+A comparison review between the Lectric and a RadMini had them pretty much neck and neck, but the edge going to the Lectric due to the price.
+So Lectric it is.
+
+---
+
+The final elephant in the room is the cute little electric [Citizen bikes](https://www.citizenbike.com/) that members of my theme camp had last time: compact, pretty light, has a carrying bag.
+[Airless tires](https://www.citizenbike.com/muffin_airless_tires.asp) are neat too.
+Unfortunately they don't have the kind of cargo basket I'm looking for for the burn.
+Their measurements do seem to have a better max pedal to saddle height than the RadExpand 5 for some of them.
+I'd probably go with them for cost x weight minimizing (~40lbs for their [London model](http://www.citizenbike.com/catalog.asp?product_category_id=1&product_id=78)) otherwise.
+
+OK.
+Now I'm coveting again.
+If I decide that's what I'd prefer in my commuting needs, then it'll be available when I'm ready.
+
+---
+
+In any case, the Lectric has now been ordered, and while their return policy is not worth speaking of, I think it'll be fine for experimenting with over the summer.
