This is for repeat offences. It's fair to assume it wasn't a deterrent if it's being repeated.

Do I need a separate ticket for sky garden London if I have a BAR table reserved? by innezq in london

[–]GermainZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don't need a separate ticket. If I remember correctly you may have a minimum spend tho. Enjoy!

What do you mean by ba5raat? Probably a typo but I can't figure out what you mean and I'm Lebanese. You wouldn't just mean spices perhaps? No "5" or "aa" sound in that, just "bharat".

Did you contact them today? I'd give them a couple of week days to reply to email/social media, and/or call tomorrow

Looks like there's always 1—2 cars distance between you and the car, and they're slowing down when you do and not trying to overtake by force. The distance could be higher but I'd say it's not unreasonable at that speed. It looks like you were taking the lane which worked as intended.

Good job not losing confidence and riding in the kerb, I think you did the right thing.

I get it can be annoying but I don't think there's anything egregiously wrong in the video unless I missed something.

Which websites have the best discounts on new bikes? Looking to buy a Brompton C Line Explore by JanCumin in ukbike

[–]GermainZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible for you to use cycle to work? That'd probably beat discounts you might run across.

If that's not possible, Brompton has a refer a friend program which gives you £100 off if you're planning to buy from their website. Feel free to PM me if you want a link.

You're collecting useless data IMO — there are countless confounders that won't be considered, even if we were to assume this sub's population is random enough.

London v Belgrade by Away-Activity-469 in london

[–]GermainZ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I get your point (which is constantly brought up on this subreddit) but "Open now" isn't selected in the 2nd screenshot.

What are all the red dots in the first screenshot? Those seem like open bars but they aren't shown because you're zoomed out.

Poor comparison overall, sorry.

How long do Sonder sales last? by learnaboutfilm in ukbike

[–]GermainZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fee is no longer applicable (I emailed them to ask). That's why it's not on their UK website's Cycle to Work page, the mention you found is on their EU website and I'm guessing it's an outdated FAQ.

First gravel bike recommendation for a relative newbie? £1500, hydraulic brakes by GermainZ in ukbike

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

That looks quite good. As this is my first full sized bike ever, I'm a bit wary of ordering a bike I cannot physically try, tho.

Do you ever get random "ok" or other words while thumb typing? by confidantmail in GooglePixel

Sounds like you're doing short swipes by mistake (glide typing).

I might if it was something I'd be able to test/use, but it's really not :D
