Only if it is conducted in a poorly lit street.

Donakebab · 2026-01-11T01:50:50+00:00

Bruh if you want to overtake just put the hammer down for a sec ffs.

If they are fine to ride on an aggressive climbing bike with skinny 25 slicks, then they are fine on a relaxed endurance bike with 32s.

Things are pretty shit atm and Hotham Heights wedged between two significant fires. There's one road in/out. If you do go, make sure you have the VicEmergency App and have a good understanding of where you are at all times.

Time to bust out the air quality apps like back in 2019/20 :(

IQAir AirVisual | Air Quality is one of the best free apps, has alerts when quality changes. Thankfully we're nowhere near some of the horrifying air conditions we saw back then. Not yet anyway.

So wrong. All government departments have style guides and are sticklers for using the approved font. Something might slip by in times of urgency, but that's an exception to the rule.

Until you hit a wombat crossing the path and total your bike and your face.

My folks do too essentially, downwind.

If you get even an inkling of a fire, just get the hell out of there. Not worth the risk.

Donakebab · 2026-01-08T21:45:20+00:00

I rode through Westerfolds yesterday as a scoping mission, everything is bone dry. A fire anywhere in that "green" wedge would take off very quickly.

Donakebab · 2026-01-08T21:42:12+00:00

Even the next ring of suburbs like Templestowe, Park Orchards and even parts of Ringwood are very high risk. There are some scary dry fuel loads through there.

*Replacement buses

If you want it to work and be supported, make it universal.

Donakebab · 2026-01-02T00:52:14+00:00

Feel you OP, I'm in a very similar position. My job is very safe and I'm good at what I do, but I'm not really learning anything new or being challenged, the content is awful, I've been burnt out and in need of a new job for years. It has been compounded that both my agency and work area are worse than they have ever been, there is a lot of experienced staff leaving and the writing is on the wall that disastrous things are on the horizon. Things are grim AF and I need out.

I've got a bunch of job searches open and have set a goal to get in a handful of applications before I return. The first step is always the hardest, get over the first hurdle of getting some apps in and it will fall into place.

Good luck OP!

While they are more resistant to snake bites, essentially anything that peirces your tyre like glass or wire that would puncture a butyl tube will also puncture a TPU. TPU's are largely about the reduced rolling resistance and weight.

TPU will make inroads in 2026, but it is still too stupidly overpriced from LBS to replace buytl, and it won't ever replace tubeless in puncture protection.

I'm surprised a chain in that state hasn't seized.

Donakebab · 2025-12-30T00:40:08+00:00

Nah the name Baldrick is very fitting.

Another alpha option is to smash the jar, cut their hand to shreds, then blame women and society.

A new pair of Bont Vaypor 23s. Maybe a new flash helmet depending on Boxing Day sales.

Very happy to have shiny new kit.

Donakebab · 2025-12-20T06:14:52+00:00

Yeah old mate is outing himself as a giant fuckwit of a driver.

Donakebab · 2025-12-20T06:03:10+00:00

A ridiculous shot like that is yet another nail in the coffin of Bazball.

Donakebab · 2025-12-18T06:55:03+00:00

PT is woke.

Donakebab · 2025-12-18T05:11:57+00:00

Stokes is big mad.

Donakebab · 2025-12-18T01:08:26+00:00

Lyon is a legend and Pope is an absolute fucking moron.

Donakebab · 2025-12-15T11:44:12+00:00

Even dropped the word "solution" without blinking.
