One of the best things about recumbents is I’d go right under it

Canberra, Australia has ok bike to the airport. No bike parking at the airport, so if you’re seeing someone off you’re probably locking it to a sign or a fence. You’re in with cars for the last kilometre though as the airport doesn’t consider bikes, though the city does

And some serious car brain

At worst you sit in the car and play whatever on the car screen or your phone for the 20 minutes to 80%

All those cars are parked nose out. They’re driving forward to leave.

I like that a lot more than parallel parking with a bike lane protected by paint. There they have good protection, the drivers can see the cyclists when they’re parking or unparking, that only fault is the bike lane is also the driveway for accessing that parking, but even then it’s low speed

Even with the encroachment there’s loads of room

A Linux phone won’t help with the problem side loading stopping problem.

Last time I used side loading was on a driving trip in Italy, I wanted the ZTA app so I could see where I wasn’t able to drive and plan routes that avoided ZTAs. A Linux phone wouldn’t have helped as no one would publish such an app for Linux unless the user population was in the tens of percentage

ZTAs are the no cars allowed areas, usually the middle of towns

Perhaps they should have used a ramp, so the uncontrolled one would go wheeee

Sure, usually, but this was a bike

Mimic X industrial accident

context

I think that’s been crushed in, normally the fender edge is outside the tyre edge. It looks like it was rolled

I think the problem was how I used it. The fault I had isn’t a common one.

Indeed. Beef prices tell me they’re not the loss leader product, and leather is cheap, so I don’t think that’s a problem now

Just because a person eats animals and uses animal products doesn’t mean they don’t respect them.

I prefer leather over its alternatives, as leather is a side product from the beef industry, so we use more of the animal. It’s worse now that cars come with vinyl seats (“vegan leather”) using petrochemicals and industrial products instead of the skin of an animal that was being killed anyway

I have had two pixel 9 folds warrantied for the inner screen cracking along the fold. This third one is treated gently, I’m not getting that game

Seconding this. I replaced my Hario hand grinder with a cheap electric burr grinder which was better, which I replaced with a good electric grinder which was better still

I feel like you could ask him about how he lost a leg, hand, and eye. Something to talk about is nice after a few hours of driving

You can get USB keyboard or pretty much any size and portability

My phone provider requires you contact them to authorise the esim swap (even if you are signed into their app on both phones). I wonder if they do that too make SIM stealing easier

It has variable suspension. I suspect it is in its lowest position, on the bump stops
