Sad story all around. Both for the guy who was killed and as a commentary on our lack of civility as a people.
On a separate and far less important note: As a relatively newbie bike commuter it would interesting to learn more about your set up and why you chose the accessories you mentioned in your post.
Not the op but a rack is used to carry a few items on the back of your bike, the dynamo is used to generate electricity for a light and the chain guard stops your pants from entering the chain-to-sprocket pants ruining area.
The chain guard will likely stop you from having a nasty fall too, it' s not just pants that get ruined that way, a fall in traffic could easily kill you.
Your rock, nicely done. One suggestion: Maybe base the calculator off of Gross Income? That number is arguably better known by people than taxes paid. Just a thought.
1. Super Angels networking is expected, allegedly sharing deal terms (convertible notes, etc.) and allegedly working together to try and lower valuations is definitely not representative of a healthy 'free' market.
2. Singling out a successful model and trying to replicate it and improve upon it isn't horrible, but allegedly singling out one entity (YC) trying to limit something inherently doing good by entrepreneurs is horrible.
3. Good or bad / legal or illegal, if this episode results in any increase of government regulation/oversight in any way for funding at this level then both sides lose.
4. This entire episode, for me, reinforces the need for start ups to go bootstrap, achieve revenue and profitability and then, if funding is proved to be needed down the road, go in with a stronger hand when you sit across the table from any funding source.
