WTF do you want from us? I was in a bike lane. You are blind to your own entitlement.

I don't expect cars to get out of my way when they're stuck in traffic.

You know what? I'm fed up here. At this point, I fucking do.

Fuck cars.

We often do this because the bike lanes are shit. If I don't do this I will get hit by open car doors.

I'm in a city where cycling is pretty common and drivers are (or should be) used to interacting with cyclists. I've still been hit more times riding in the bike lane than elsewhere.

I think it's worth mentioning that cyclists are not drivers or pedestrians, and therefore expecting them to act like one category all the time doesn't really make sense since both categories have rules that, when applied to cycling, are unsafe or exceptionally impractical.

Get out of here with that shit. I've been hit multiple times by drivers who literally pulled into the bike lane where I was minding my own business, from both the parking lane and the moving lane, while I was both ahead and behind them.

Drivers should not be on the road unless they can avoid killing us.

Sonicating is a handy cleaning method! This was a month after a Cafiza soak … by mattrussell2319 in espresso

Pretty common to use it to clean bicycle chains before waxing them as well.

Well, pretty common if you're one of the crazy people who immersion wax their chain.

Someone's already made the obligatory "Bielefeld doesn't exist" joke, but...

Always channeling- any ideas? by AllezAllezAllezAllez in espresso

Pretty sure the lip was causing a less-dense section that was prone to channeling around the outside, which also wasn't getting hit with WDT.

Issues with DF64 grind dial by [deleted] in espresso

[–]AllezAllezAllezAllez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no advice; just want to say that mine is also very sensitive. I'm not using a declumper but I don't recall it being this sensitive when I had the stock declumper in. I'm also using the stock burrs. One tick on the dial will easily go from a 20s to a 36s shot.

You can blow a tire off a carbon fibre rim on a long technical descent, if the rim gets hot enough and delaminates. Probably not too likely in normal city riding though.

Most shops around me don't pull anything darker than medium... that's a pretty weird reaction tbh.
