Front derailleur: On higher-end bicycles, it is becoming a rarity with single narrow-wide tooth front rings. To make up for this loss of gear, rear cassettes have gotten wide and wider reaches (bigger big cogs and smaller small cogs.)

Most places I've been call the seat a "saddle."

I love the hand drawn style so much, by the way.

Cool! The text printing time felt pretty long to wait for the whole paragraph. Also another simpler approach might be to use SVG animations like this: https://codepen.io/mikemjharris/post/svg-toggling

Thanks for the feedback! I think the text speed might be an issue with my implementation: it adds a single character on each animation frame with a WPM speed limit, but this would cause problems if a device isn't able to animate very quickly. A better approach would probably be to use the wall clock time to figure out how many characters to add on each animation frame. As for SVG, I've used that in other projects but…

You can still embed bitmaps inside SVGs

True, though road bikes (even the new 12 speed ones) still use a 2x system on the front. TT/triathlon bikes sometimes use a single chainring as well since they don’t need to climb
