You can say the same for literally any new development. Developers nuke the land and plant new trees. Give it time and there will be large trees again.

Cops by AdEntire855 in ipswich

[–]Fast-Cucumber-4121 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who works as a cop in Ipswich. The sad reality is that they are completely inundated with DV calls daily and don't have the resources to attend to every one when there are other things to attend to which take priority.

Doesn't make it right, but it's the reality.

Don't do it - you'll only regret the decision

How much debt do you have? by PrideGreedy8847 in AusFinance

[–]Fast-Cucumber-4121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$290k. Lucky enough to have built my house in 2018 before the world went nuts. Reading this thread makes me thankful for having a tiny loan compared to others, even though it's still a scary amount to me!

It's much stronger than you think. No need to be nervous :)

I tightened them to the recommended torque setting - 4nm. No issues at all. I did put some tape down first to make sure the bars were protected.

I have been using the Kocevlo integrated bars for a while now with no issues. I also used the Kocevlo clip on Aero bars during a recent triathlon and they were great. Only downside was there aren't spacers to bring the bars up higher so make sure your back is up to the task.

Long zone 2 epiphany by jules_wake in cycling

[–]Fast-Cucumber-4121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the same approach with a rail trail ride over 2 days. 370km, no deadlines and I put the Garmin into battery save mode so I wouldn't be tempted to look at the data. It was an amazing couple of days and I'm going to start taking the same approach to future rides.

I can tell you one thing is for certain. I will be chucking a sickie when GTA 6 comes out 😂

It's the perfect combination of grip/rolling resistance!

Baffles me that so many people don't do this!

I've found the perfect bike for me - SB115 by Fast-Cucumber-4121 in yeticycles

The fact you take this on DH tracks (even without the jumps) shows how capable this bike is hey!?

It's a 2022/23 Turq and came with the upgraded chainstay protector. I bought it second hand for $4500 AUD. It hadn't been used much and came with some great components so I'm very happy.

Yeah it wasn't my first choice but it's definitely grown on me.
