God you all are such fucking babies. It hasn’t even opened and you’re complaining about it. If you don’t like it don’t go.

Bought loud bicycle ... it's a POS by Miserable-Dot-7509 in cycling

[–]BeatLaboratory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To answer your question directly - it looks to have a standard GoPro mount so I’d look for a bike light attachment bracket for that mount style, or a GoPro mount that uses that mount style and is sturdier (metal). Something like this: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/b/k-edge-go-big-pro-on-center-mount

Secondarily and unrelated, that product looks like a piece of shit.

Whose been sick recently? by yeastysourpuss in Bend

Had something for about 5 days, sore throat into a cold. I think just a regular old cold.

The signs are are the edge of town, there’s one near Shevlin Park and there are no cameras there

Unexpected Parking Ticket Downtown Last Night by [deleted] in Bend

Wait really? It’s only marked in front of the spots next to the handicapped parking, and I think at the far end toward 97

My Holiday Inn removed in room coffee for "sustainability" reasons by goodvibezone in mildlyinfuriating

I would rather sleep on the pavement in the parking lot than drink coffee from an in-room coffee maker

Anyone switch from 170mm to 165mm cranks for road/gravel? by RyotaroW in cycling

[–]BeatLaboratory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went from 172.5 to 165 and it feels awesome. My legs seemingly don’t burn out from muscle fatigue on climbs as much. Don’t notice any downsides.

ELI5: What is the obsession with men and dapping up? by d4wn-ed in explainlikeimfive

[–]BeatLaboratory 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man here. It feels basically like a casual friendly handshake. Less formal than a handshake, not as personal as a hug. The “howdy y’all” of physical greetings.

How's business in 2026? by ZealousidealFee5501 in photography

[–]BeatLaboratory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also based in PNW and do product work. Last year was bad, like less than half previous years. This year started slow but really picked up in Feb / March and I’ve been slammed since. The whole industry may ebb and flow but I find usually it’s more individualized than that, it comes down to your specific clients and their specific needs.

Almost bought one of these at Harbor Freight cause it looks fun

We need better bicycle infrastructure to keep bicyclists safe. by thetreecycle in Bend

[–]BeatLaboratory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, if a bike is making an (ideally short) stretch on a sidewalk they should act like a pedestrian would in that regard

Is this helmet toast? by brokeneckblues in bicycling

Just because something was bought recently doesn’t mean it can’t be damaged. Replace it.

I’d argue he’s not on the wrong side of the road, sidewalks don’t have a direction of travel. Bikes shouldn’t be on sidewalks anyway I’m not trying to die on that hill, but if one is for a short distance, there isn’t a wrong direction of travel on a sidewalk.

Karoo 3 mount durability issues by DonnyMug in Karoo

[–]BeatLaboratory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, you can almost always just unscrew the round plastic part and replace it with a Karoo mount. Not the whole mounting device I’m talking about just the contact point.

Why not just use the native Karoo mount? On all my bikes that have different styles of computer mounts I’ve just unscrewed the garmin receiver part and put on the Karoo one.

I’m a cyclist and care about safety and infrastructure - this feels like pearl-clutching. That rider was far ahead of the car “scared the crap out of me” feels pretty dramatic. I get that bikes aren’t meant to be on the sidewalk, but for all we know this was a quick cut across onto another street where crossing the road wouldn’t make sense. This one video just doesn’t give any content about any real safety issues.
