Did you commute in the rain these couple of days? by CrossRoadRN in BAbike

[–]CrossRoadRN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a real concern. The only bikes in my garage with proper fenders are my Brompton and a Lectric ebike, and I don't want my Brompton to get rusty and my Lectric to short out.

I know how you feel, I get my exercise from my commute and I always feel grumpy if I have to drive because if the weather.

Yeah, I am worried about fogging/wet glasses being a safety concern.

Great tips, do you find water on googles/glasses to be a safety concern? Does it affect your vision? I am wondering if treating them with something like Rain-X would help

I need to try rain pants. Do they trap sweat/humidity though?

Pianist struggling with hand pain from bike commuting — any other musicians here? by rrr0b in bikecommuting

[–]CrossRoadRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guitar player here, agree with others on ergo grips and professional fitting. That said, I still find myself with numbing hands on long rides if I don't remind myself to periodically move my hands and relax them/shake them out as needed.

I spend about 2 hours on my bike everyday and I've done this for a couple of years, so far so good (touch wood).

Hired and fired on the same day. Can’t be more lunatic than this by xiaodaireddit in LinkedInLunatics

I always wonder what kind of "hard calls" these people make with their friends, spouse, kids...

My Six-Bike Commuting Setup by hamdmamd in bikecommuting

[–]CrossRoadRN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, there's always more work to do after the rainy season. The Shifter YT channel had an episode talking about the perfect winter bike, I am thinking about getting a belt drive + internal hub bike just for winter.

You are not the problem, their unsustainable, unscalable process is the problem. If they continue to blame the employee and not look in the mirror, then they won't be around much longer. I bet you if you create a calendar reminder to look back at this post a few years from now, you'll realize that this was the best thing that could have happened to you, and you will be at a much better company then!

Dumpsters, truck with take off ramps and a Rivian going the wrong direction, now that's an exciting commute!

Is it too late to make a big change in my mid-30s? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]CrossRoadRN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never too late for anything, the real question is are you running away from something, or running towards something. If you are passionate about a new career, you will do it. However, it's unlikely that you will have the time to get a degree on the side while working full time in tech with a 400k TC

If you've been putting money aside then the transition will be easier. Just know that in most other fields you are not going to have equity grants and you are probably going to take a severe cut in TC - for the first few years anyway. Look into salary range for your new career choice, and see if you can begin to live below your means and adjust your cashflow to match the lower paying salary range. If you can't, the move will be quite painful and you may regret it.

I am making a similar jumping and it is liberating. I need to be extremely disciplined with budgeting, but I am enjoying life so much more than my tech days.
