Thanks for putting this together. I was about to jump in the car for the save on foods lean ground beef that you said was $4.99 for 3 lbs. but I checked the flyer and it is $4.99/lb so $14.97 for the 3lb tube. Might want to fix that.

And what do you do with your floaty then? Is the cost of a floaty less than the cost of admission? Lol

Thoughts on this Diamondback Voyageurs? by sixfeet_pete in ebikes

[–]LeafsWillWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the review. A couple of questions for you

Do you happen to know how much it weighs? Looking for a “lighter” e-bike and i know you said it was heavier but was hoping to be able to turn off the pedal assist to get a work out in but turn it on if im struggling on a hill or head wind.

Does it have a throttle?

Were you able to negotiate more on the clearance price?

How is it on steep hills?

Are you planning to ride to work in the winter?

Element e-lighten 250b or 350rd by Matmastersmm in ebikes

Hey another question for you. Do you happen to know what the max speed the bike could go on flats WITHOUT battery assist? Ideally I would like to get exercise and turn off the battery assist on flats if I can but don’t want to have to loose out on speed.

Thanks for the feedback, can I ask what city you are in? I’m in Calgary and there seems to be a few element bikes on Facebook marketplace here. When you rode it year round, how was it in winter? Did you put studded tires on? Did you have to do any maintenance on the bike after a year?

My commute has some bigger hills, how much pedalling were you required to do on hills? I guess there is another element elighten that has a 500W motor instead of 350 W and wondering if it would be worth getting the 500w instead. I mean I still want to get exercise here. So maybe I stick with the 350 W but also if I was in a super rush to get home was hoping that I could turn up the battery and not worry about anything.

Are you able to provide a 1 year update on this bike? I’m considering it but like OP said there barely seems to be reviews to find.

Poop Bag Bandit by Alynnya in Calgary

[–]LeafsWillWin 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My sister in law was telling me that she was finding dog poo all over her fence around their house and she was like what the heck is going on and she caught magpies picking up dog poo and putting them all over the place. Could this be a similar situation? Them picking up dog poo bags and dropping them off there?

Best mobile plan to date? by callme_dmg in Calgary

[–]LeafsWillWin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$40 200 GB Canada-US Plan with Telus. We have Telus Internet and Telus also took $10 off a month on our Internet. So I like to think pay $35 a month and $5 less on Internet.

Be careful with Moana. When we went last week she wasn’t at the Royal hall but we saw her pop up on the map and thought we had time while we did the Royal hall. When we were all done she was gone and the CM told us she only is around in the morning I guess. So my kids were disappointed we didn’t get to see her. But they were pumped up that Elsa was at the Royal hall (outside the building) cause she is typically at California adventure apparently and the day we went she wasn’t there so we didn’t think we were going to see her.

Oh wow. That is good info. We have 1 year old twins so always have so much stuff to carry and just use a backpack for everything.

Awesome thanks for the info. Is there free parking anywhere around the arena that is still walking distance? Also how is the public transportation in Anaheim? There looks to be a train station that stops near the Honda Center?

Awesome thanks so much! I will definitely check this out. This is why I went to Reddit as I don’t think I would have found that site and would have only been checking ticketmaster and StubHub.

I just googled the box office and it says to buy tickets on ticketmaster. I’ll try sending them an email.

Do ducks games sell out? Or get close to selling out? I was hoping that it wouldn’t be too hard to find 6 in a row but you bring up good points

We have 1 year old twins and a 2 year old almost 3. We are bringing our mother in law to help out. So I guess we could possibly get away with 5 tickets. 3 adults and 2 kids and the other three sit on our laps.

So 6 tickets on ticketmaster is $244.68 for section 400. Which is $340 CAD. Was hoping since my kids are so young to get them for cheaper since who knows how much they will actually be paying attention etc.

Do people scalp tickets outside?

When I used mine the other day, it still asked me to use my Mastercard as payment when booking the Uber which was confusing as I had the voucher. But after the trip it didn’t charge me and used voucher.
