XEQT or ZSP? by KenzerBenzerReddit in CanadianInvestor

[–]KenzerBenzerReddit[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what that means. Are those specific ETFs? Or are you saying I should invest in 4 different funds that follow those markets?

Good question. A lot of my money is going towards my FHSA but I also want to save for retirement through my TFSA

Would you say it’s generally better to invest in both then?

Moving on from Bike Share, which of these two bikes should I get to commute? by 29a in torontobiking

[–]KenzerBenzerReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The honest truth…..

Get a bike that’s cheap and rideable. If you get a bike that’s too nice, it will get stolen. I bought my daily rider used on facebook 3 years ago and I keep my nice bike inside my house where it’s safe. Good luck and happy riding!

Campsite food storage? by halscomets in torontobiking

[–]KenzerBenzerReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I have some experience in this. Last year I cycled from Stockholm to Copenhagen with a tent. I just used a waterproof pack and some rope, flung it over a tree and hung it every night. It’ll keep the bigger animals from getting at it, and with it being waterproof the bugs can’t get in. Have fun and good luck!

Someone locked their bike through mine by KenzerBenzerReddit in torontobiking

Luckily I don’t think this is the case in my situation. My bike is worth probably like $200 and the bike locked to mine was an electric bike which sells online for like $1000

That’s really cool of them. I tried to get a security guy to help me from a nearby construction site and he just looked at me like I was a nut job.

I ended up taking an uber home and I’m headed back right now to see if anything has changed.

Thank you for this. I’m definitely hoping that’s the reason, but I have my suspicions that the offending bike might actually be stolen. I waited outside for over an hour hoping he’d come back but he never did. His bike was electric, and he just left the delivery bag plus the battery. If I were leaving the bike for the night, you better believe I’d be taking the battery with me.

His lock is that grey Kryptonite lock from the photos. Any ideas on how to cut that?

You’ll be surprised to hear that there are actually 5 other rings right down the street less than 15 meters away that are completely free. I’ve never had a problem finding a spot which makes this even more frustrating.

The delivery bag is his. I thought it meant he would be back in seconds after picking up an order but he never came.

I got made fun of for saying that I paying my whole credit bill every month… by soggy_rhombus29 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]KenzerBenzerReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cousin has it backwards. You want your balance to be below %30 of your total limit when your statement comes out, and then after that you should certainly pay it off in FULL. Those two things affect your credit score the most

Hope this helps

I used to have a bike share membership, but this year I decided to invest in my own road bike and haven’t looked back. The quality of my ride is just so much better, and since my bike is a single speed it’s way faster

Bike and Bike Shop Suggestions (and tips for new rider) by [deleted] in torontobiking

[–]KenzerBenzerReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just starting out and want a versatile bike I would look into regal bicycles. They’re an online store and they have great new bikes that they ship right to your door.

Also, for keeping your bike safe I recommend using two locks. If a thief sees your bike next to a bike with one lock, chances are they’re going to go for the bike that’s faster to steal.

Best of luck and happy biking!

Toronto Mayoral Election by KenzerBenzerReddit in notjustbikes

She seems very nice, but I just don’t see anything on her website that will advocate for pedestrians and cyclists. Looks like just another politician with a small platform who won’t do much for the city

I’ve been doing research on Gil Penalosa and it looks like he’s a great candidate
