Is that typically a thing? Was it over tensioned?

Exactly what I thought, over tensioned. But the man said it's a usage cycle limit. Too many bike rides last year! That door gets the majority of the use. No one uses the front door with the house being a ranch style, from the driveway that's the most direct way to the inner sanctuary.

Time to put a door on the side of the garage?
I'm kind of running into a similar issue with keeping the regular bikes in the garage and now I have concerns over killing my garage door!

I didn't think it was "cycles" thing either, until I thought about it. It could easily have been, I estimated the door went through about 25 "cycles" a day on average. That being said I'm not sold it was the cycles,I'm more on the belief it was just a poorly manufactured spring.
Que Sera sera.

25 times a day average? Were you giving away free ice cream (or beer) from your garage? 😁
 
seriously... should we do a "things that make you facepalm" thread?

i was asked to take the security off a pdf reprint of an article (not unusual since sometimes they throw them into marketing materials and programs don't like security on these things)... BUT i was also asked about the ADA compliance of the pdf... and in asking about the compliance features:

I WAS ASKED IF THAT MEANT ADDING BRAILLE TO A PDF
