    He gets barn bikes and before spending any money he tries to check compression and see if it'll fire. He advocates for keeping old bikes running. He's not trying to restore although sometimes he decides to go ahead and restore, but if you think he doesn't have skills, I disagree squirrel.

    It's genius if you run a youtube channel that bumps the algorithm. These guys always make little mistakes so guys can feel smarter than them and then engage in the comments and then more people watch. I thought you understood how it works.

    I really like the Bearded Mechanic for his folksy humour and funny banter with his team. He is helping others find some confidence in just having a go, and also showing some creative problem solving. But you are right, I do sometimes feel smarter than him, now I know that I have been manipulated by Alphabet I feel a little dirty...
