This might be the video that convinces me to get a rear camera on my bike.

No driver should ever be allowed to return behind the wheel after that behaviour. A true danger to the public.

Where do I start with cycling? I come from a running background and I recently started cycling due to an injury. My longest rides as of now are 15 miles in 1.5 hours. I hope to cycle a century in a few months or so. But I've only been using a random bike that I've inherited.

What bike should I buy? My budget is 600 - 800$ and I only bike on road and flat surfaces. I have no idea on what brands or what parts are good. Should I get fitted at a bike shop? Should I build my own one?

Also, is overtraining a thing in biking? In the running world, injuries are pretty easy to get if you increase mileage too quickly but I'm not sure if this applies to biking aswell. Is there some sort of program that builds you up to ride for longer similar to Couch to 5K (C25K)?

Can be one that already exists or a completely custom one.

If money was no object, this would be the bike I'd throw my wallet at!

Not only does the tandem setup look better than a traditional tandem, but to be able to convert it into a front-loading cargo bike is... WOW!

This bike is also Made in Germany.

I'm looking for a folding bike and the two I'm considering most closely are the Tern Verge D9 and the Link D8.

I like that the Verge D9 has disc brakes and I have a strange attraction to its 451 wheels.

The Link D8 has a wider variety of compatibile tires but I don't prefer V-brakes.

Do you know a strong reason to choose one over the other? A strong reason I should be looking at something else entirely?
