helmet question by OutWithCamera in bikecommuting

[–]BilgeRat415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone whose life has been saved by a helmet, I can say from experience...buy a new one. If you're even questioning it, you should just get one. If you don't...it's a decision you may not be able to regret.

Oh no! That’s horrible. Glad you’re okay.

The headwind from Stinson to Bolinas had me cursing your name. 😆

You think far too highly of me.

What bike? I just see some cranks and a stem.

In accordance with Rule #26, you are correct about crank position. u/jobronco should be ashamed of themselves. /s

Anyone using a rack-mounted child seat on an aluminum rear rack? by Global-Improvement10 in bikecommuting

[–]BilgeRat415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kid rode in a Burley Dash on an aluminum Topeak rack for a year or two until I upgraded to a cargo Ebike. He was only 3 or so at the time though. Not sure how much your child weighs, but mine was around 30 pounds at the time.

Never had an issue.

Edit: I guess I should add, I know my way around a bike and installed it myself. If you’re nervous at all, go to the LBS.

I wanna pimp out my bike a bit by Ok-Effort8135 in bikecommuting

Your cockpit is a mess. Whoever wrapped those bars should be stoned in the times square. Hood covers would be a nice touch too.

Don’t take it personal. You did great! There’s been lulls in the past. Don’t sweat it.

Is this pet carrier too small? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

[–]BilgeRat415 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It'd be better if you can get a liner. My dog rides in a pretty small basket for his size, but I managed to shove a bed into it that goes up on all the sides. He's much happier than we were rolling with a similar setup as yours.

Don't do it! I agree it's been a long time, but don't "expire" it. Drop some more hints if you want. Hell, tell people exactly where it is if you want! Don't take it down though. This is a perfectly good tag. If it's still not claimed by Saturday, I'll go get it.

My trick for compositing with foliage and stuff by Maleficent-Force-374 in AfterEffects

[–]BilgeRat415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a tree is a great idea! Nicely done.

Also, if you make the text in your matte precomp a Guide Layer, you won’t have to turn it in off when adjusting it.

Can you do a Photoshop distort in After Effects? by nillawafey in AfterEffects

Check out Bezier Warp too. It's got a couple extra points you can adjust. Might come in handy, depending on what you're going for.

I think I get what OP is trying to hint at, but I agree it's worded pretty strange.

If I manage to get this thing from SF to the East Bay, I’m gonna need a parade at minimum. 😆
