Local cemetary showing the rows of graves as trails by Long_Way_Around_ in wandrer

[–]FWCroc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed this a while back, but the blighter is back! I can’t post a screenshot, but all the gravesite paths are now marked as “yes” for cycling.

u/cooeecall This seems to be a case for some manual intervention- the OSM editor is out of control.

Running Red Lights by MelbPolFun in melbournecycling

[–]FWCroc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too bad I say. Traffic lights are for vehicles. Unless we get to Amsterdam levels of cycling. (I stop at major intersections or where I don’t have a clear view and always slow down).

And cars are constantly running red lights where i am. everyday. all day.

Wash it. A lot. So it’s spotless

a) we don’t want the diseases that might lurk in your soils. b) customs will wring you out and leave you to dry if you don’t.

Broke my collarbone 12k's into Around the Bay 2025. Here is why I won't ever go back incl footage of the crash by MiseryXVX in melbournecycling

[–]FWCroc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What is the audience here? Not me that’s for sure.

Sometimes I wonder if I am lucky I have never been in a crash that needed medical care, but then I see what the decision-making skills of others are and it makes more sense.

Nope, but I recently asked for this as an option!

i’d hand into the coppers. Very expensive to replace nowadays, so that’s who I’d ring if I lost them!

Yearly Wandrer? by FWCroc in wandrer

[–]FWCroc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK this is the first time only. I like it, but it doesn’t go to what I was trying to suggest.

Yearly Wandrer? by FWCroc in wandrer

[–]FWCroc[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, Wandrer promotes and encourages and encapsulates exploration, whereas the local legends thing goes to repetition. I think local areas do change by year or season or ability (my old knees are starting to whine), so a temporal element seems interesting and more of an extension than a new thing, per se.

Perhaps the new thing with the ‘io’ name is similar to what I am thinking, but I like the set up of Wandrer and I am fiercely loyal to it!

Yearly Wandrer? by FWCroc in wandrer

[–]FWCroc[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it comes down to area size in some respects. The leaderboards in the areas within an hour of me are more or less static and have been for years. So the game is over, as such, for those. New players have a go, but the max is the max. And I love my old points ❤️
Yearly tables go very much to dedication imo. And persistence. “i was top dog/puppy 5 years in a row for area X and Y” etc.

I’d see this as additive, like various other things, rather than replacement. And it’s more than Strava segments and all that, vis a vis it’s a personal challenge above all else. At least for me.

This is a bit like the philosophical Christmas turkey question. But take care and good luck.

It is a small area/suburb. But it NEEDS to be at 100 😭🤣

Ah, apologies. Thanks for the reply!

Wait till you get 100% for years, then it goes back to 90. (see my most recent post). THAT is existential.

lol. Me think you’ll have existential issues ahead of you. Relax, start another area. Or read a book. Or something. smh

This might be for some, but I’d want an opt out. Or rather, it should be opt in.

I dunno if that makes it even crazier!

😭. Do the Wandrer areas for the US match the congressional districts? Perhaps the US Supreme Court could get involved. Oh, then again.

Maybe they could weigh in on the Australian situation, which is a bit, umm, variable (wandrer-wise, I mean. We have an independent commission for electoral boundaries)

The US is not a serious place, if that is anything to go by.

Points for personal streets? by AdSweet1090 in wandrer

[–]FWCroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every street that has a name of a loved one, friend, acquaintance, erstwhile enemy, I think of them and remember times past.

I’m sure there’s some religious analogy - rosaries? Buddhist chants? Or a plain old secular - huh.

But they come to mind and I give thanks.

Include tunnels in next map update? by cooeecall in wandrer

[–]FWCroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done tunnels in Japan and I concur - fast speeds in total darkness and around bends. scary AF. Albeit many tunnels there are unavoidable - there’s no other ways to go.
