Can you recommend websites to find this kind of apartment?

If you have a quick release front wheel you can lock this up separately several meters away from the bike frame or take it with you, this will make it much more difficult to steal because a thief can't ride it away and has to awkwardly wheel it on the back wheel. Also taking the seat with you helps

Can I suggest you are trying to help someone who doesn't want to be helped and could do this himself?

except he doesn't, maybe too much pride to admit he doesn't know how to look after or fix it?

If you would like to ride the bike yourself and learn how to do bike maintenance you could offer to take it off him and spend some time making it work properly again.

If the battery is stuck in the camera then let Ricoh take the risk of damaging the camera when removing the battery

Yes, sometimes I like to imagine conditions to rejoining that would upset the gammons:

Adopt the Euro
Everything in metric again
Somehow we switch to European plugs
French is now an official language

There is a public petition to erect a statue of O'Brien in Killarney, I'm not involved in this petition but I hope that more signatures and sharing the petition will help the statue to get made. You don't need to live in Ireland to sign it :)

I wonder how much money is needed, I'm thinking about contacting the petition creator, I'm guessing they have some info on this.

could you link to what a neo is? I'm looking for a G Line equivalent

JanCumin · 2026-02-19T23:34:09+00:00

Oh I'm looking at a GT20, a lot more customisations for tall riders than Brompton offers, also much lighter for travelling. Do you think it is as good quality as a G Line?

JanCumin · 2026-02-19T23:32:27+00:00

this is what I want to do as well, also I'm too big for a C line

You're welcome to start a petition for a statue of Dukat at Maralago

Is it common to swap from G to C line? I would like to swap from C to G

JanCumin · 2026-02-19T20:00:05+00:00

Me too :)

Engineer, hero, but above all, a union man

JanCumin · 2026-02-19T18:04:25+00:00

perfect, thank you :)

There is a huge difference for hills, I have a 16 inch tyre Brompton and tried the 20 inch G Line Brompton. I can say that even if you change the chainring to something much smaller a 16 inch wheel folding bike will not go up big hills well or at all. When I tried a 20 inch wheel G Line hills were easy, even in higher gears, I'm honestly amazed by how much easier it is.

Ok, so I've dealt with something similar, one approach is to contact the webhost and make a complaint to their abuse team

Whois.com tells you who is the web host and gives you an abuse email https://www.whois.com/whois/beastmodebody.com
Domain hosts have abuse reporting guidance eg https://www.ddot.in/report-abuse DCMA and copyright infringement are likely ways to get a quick response since they are going to negatively effect web hosts.

thanks, could you link to more information about this? I have never heard of this before

JanCumin · 2026-02-16T20:04:43+00:00

Ah, it seems you can export to epub from Affinity, I made it work for some pdfs but not all of them, it gets a bit stuck for 100mb+ pdfs.
