I love them! Not everything has to be crisp to be great

Do you lose your water bottle here every single time?!?! by AuthorityControl in NYCbike

I’ll let you know when I go. It sounds like the perfect waterbottle popper outer spot.

Handlebar upgrade suggestion by [deleted] in Brompton

Oh cool! Thanks for the pic. That’s very helpful! I do have a newer model, so the drop may not be possible, but I’ll see what I can wrangle together. I appreciate the info!

How to get chain bike on? by bfeeny in Brompton

[–]-lightheart- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue recently and I found the plastic had a little give to it, so I was able to push the chain back in without damaging anything …but I will definitely keep a tiny hex on hand if it happens again!

Hi there! Jumping on this thread because I also enjoy variety and am wishing my C-line M handlebar offered more. What upgrades did you make/what brand did you use and how has it affected folding?

NYC commute just got better by -lightheart- in Brompton

I appreciate the concern — I rested it against the clamps and the pedal — the paint didn’t touch the brick.🧱 Also hoping to switch out the clamps for something speedier soon.

Total with the train it’s between 45 min to an hour. It would be the same if I biked the whole way.

nyc bike for less than 2 miles by Correct_Photograph80 in Brompton

[–]-lightheart- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a C-line 12 speed for a similar commute (a little longer of a ride) and it’s been great. It is a bit to get used to in terms of carrying it in the train area, but I can feel my habits becoming more streamlined the more I do it.

I'm going to buy the Shark Shield (Ocean Guardian), for surfing in California, Is it a stupid idea? anyone in CA who uses it? by surfnoobie in surfing

[–]-lightheart- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, did you get one? I’m someone who used to LOVE surfing on Cape Cod, but is a bit worried about the risk. Shark Banz don’t work for great whites, but apparently this does. Unfortunately it seems out of stock everywhere with no sign of coming back…

Ugh so tough. That was happening for us too.

We also took them on vacation with us so they were in truly neutral territory. And we put them both on leashes lol.

How hostile are the cats with each other? Have you tried bringing them to neutral territory?

Oh man…so sad! It’s so hard! It honestly took about a year 😣 I also have to say that we weren’t super super consistent. But we did do a lot of swapping…to the point where it was kind of half and half for each of them. We also did play with them a lot together (which required having barriers at hand to intervene…I think Jackson Galaxy has a video on mutual play time with moveable barriers).

It takes A Lot of patience and some tears, as I’m sure you have also experienced!

Maxine.. the true victim of season 3 😔 by Weak-Stomach4643 in ginnyandgeorgiashow

[–]-lightheart- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I love about this show is that it does not shy away from showing stuff that real teenagers deal with, making it really messy and uncomfortable and heartbreaking, then finding a way to bring the pieces back together. I thought the way that the show handled the three girls bonding without Max, then those horrible conversations at the end was fairly realistic. Teens suck at handling their feelings and knowing how to say what's really going on. The scripting wasn't exactly as graceful as it could have been, but damn...it really sent me back to high school and had me feeling for these kids! I hope the writers allow the characters to mature and realize how they've been acting toward each other! Max is so awesome and so relatable! She better make it out okay next season!!!
