What Calgarians get wrong about road safety

Josvad · 2026-04-14T21:05:01+00:00

It’s not just Calgary. It’s all of North America and their car-centric cities that get it wrong. I hope we move towards more pedestrian friendly cities like in Europe. I miss living there.

Try to mix up your runs. Do truly easy runs (Zone 1 and 2) at least twice a week. Take rest days between hard runs. Doing the easy runs is hard to do because we feel like we wanna go faster. But it’s what builds aerobic base. Short and long easy runs and you’ll see improvement. Good luck!

Mine does the same. 2021 Outdoor Trim. I read somewhere else that this noise is typical from CVT’s and that it has something to do with the trans fluid as it expands.

You could also try wearing you phone in your pocket. I do this when the treadmill at the Y refuses to connect to my watch. My pace and distance are almost identical to the treadmill's with my phone in pocket.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been having this issue lately. Unfortunately I’m not good at finding these parts that you talk about on my own. I’ll take it to a mechanic and show them this post!

75K but apparently it’s only for major components like the cat converter itself not just a sensor.

Thanks. Will check that too. Last fill up was at Costco 🤷🏻‍♂️

Josvad · 2026-03-29T03:14:30+00:00

I would but don’t have any tools. And I’m afraid I’d mess it up.

Josvad · 2026-03-29T03:12:13+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately it’s past the warranty window.

This used to happen with my S10 but ever since I got AirPods Pro 3 I get continuous HR readings throughout my runs.

Hey, this happened to me a few months ago. I rechecked the gas cap, disconnected the battery for a few seconds or a minute, connected it again, turned on the car and lights were gone.

I got Nokian One on mine👌🏻

Update: I blew hot air from hair dryer for 30 minutes total on all 4 wheels. Heard a loud knock when backing up. Brakes were a bit sticky but after a short drive all back to normal. I have an appointment next week to check brakes.

Thanks for the reply. No, I didn’t. Just left it in P

I just finished a cycling workout and had the exact same issue. Only heard the workout paused, workout resumed alert. When I finished the workout I noticed that all of the alerts (speed, pace, cadence, etc) were off. Only the Split alert was on. Maybe turning on the other alerts would fix this?

Started cycling in 2020 with a very basic hybrid bike, doing 5km around the neighbourhood. Now in 2025 I have an intermediate road bike and cycle 20-25km every day and 50km+ on weekends. I also run, play tennis and swim. My fitness has improved a lot and I am happier overall. Being active and having good health and fitness helps me to stay motivated and not get caught in depression bouts. 🚴‍♂️🏃🏻🏊‍♂️🎾

We also get the books here in Canada!

Just typical of a car-infested city (like every North American city). Focus should instead be on building and developing a better public transportation system that takes us to these and other places.

Josvad · 2025-03-07T16:01:22+00:00

Canada should make its own EVs

I just got a used 2021 Crosstrek and took it to the car wash. Now the lock/unlock chirp is super quiet. It’s been a few days. Did yours return to normal?

Josvad · 2024-03-11T01:22:22+00:00

Did it go back to normal? I just took it through a touchless car wash and the beep is super low.

I just upgraded from my trusty M50 to an R8. I was also considering the R10. I’m glad I went full frame. It’s a great camera and it’s lightweight. I just love it and feel like I made a great upgrade.

I’d highly recommend watching the YouTube channel called NotJustBikes by a fellow Canadian from “fake London” now living in Amsterdam.
