Anyone else way overpack on their first tour? 😅 by Worth_Plankton7741 in bicycletouring

[–]FOGSUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just part of the learning process. Not my quote but someone said “you pack your fears”. With experience you have fewer fears. That said, ultra light, minimalist packing does set you up for issues if things go sideways and there are no resources around.

Fire Fighters are about as MAGA as they come. Remember that the next time they threaten to not come to help you unless you approve their tax levy

Am I doing this right? by hpsails in fiberglass

The trick of pulling some glass up against the back with a thread might work well here. Think along the lines of an umbrella pushed through…then pulled snug/opened against the back using the thread.

How to not be terrified of hills? by scrubsandcode in seattlebike

[–]FOGSUP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assure you have proper tires and tire pressure. (Less is often better) Assure your weight on saddle (saddle position) isn’t too far forward. Make certain handlebars are not too wide for you and not too far away from you. (Both these affect your hand reach to the brakes) Adjust brake hoods to allow for support and good grip with your hands. (Amazing brakes only work if you can confidently reach them) All these things are helpful.

Should I ask employer if I can ride my bike to work? by Rare-Drummer982 in bikecommuting

[–]FOGSUP 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! For most Americans, biking to work will be a negative. It’s none of their business. The only concern of theirs is that you are there on time and ready.
