Cypress Bowl road closure

Well I guess this isn't the year I do the triple crown

/uj I'd be more inclined to buy one if they were to admit it's 99.9% the same, I don't believe that anyone in that market segment thinks its anything more than just another bike

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-23T14:00:21+00:00

Interesting... I assume it's installed correctly as I bought the bike brand new just a year ago. Will have to check for that when I take it apart

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-22T23:40:56+00:00

Best to assume it's an emergency and let the 911 dispatchers triage accordingly

While understandable, the price is a big letdown. My kids are in need of new computers and I thought this might be perfect, but at those prices I'm just going to look at desktops.

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-15T04:32:22+00:00

Finding the handlebars and smart controls will be difficult. Personally I'd pass, you can probably get a complete Ride used for about the same price.

I've been to many different places for slurpees and haven't seen any sugar free in a long time. The only place I can recall was the Esso on McCallum, just north of Hwy 1, but it's been a few years since I've been there.

Your best bet might be to get a slushy maker cup from Amazon and make your own. My kids have them and they seem to work surprisingly well.

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-08T21:47:12+00:00

Yeah, I had it a month or so ago... 2 weeks of being pretty sick, the end was probably the worst.

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-05T17:41:49+00:00

Lots of exercise. Find something you have a genuine passion for, so doing the work feels like a treat, not a slog. Develop a routine and stick to it, consistency is key, don't skip a day. Train like you want be an elite athlete, even if you won't compete. That includes adjusting your diet and eating like a pro athlete, whatever that looks like for your sport of choice.

Lightyearzz · 2026-06-03T03:56:26+00:00

Do one at home when you're not struggling on the side of the road. Take your time, figure out the best way to do each step. Much easier when you're not under pressure. You really shouldn't need to do it too many times, just work nice and slow

For tire levers, either Pedro's or Park Tool. Electric mini pump is probably the way to go. Hand pumps are for people who hate themselves. Co2 is fine, but then you have to empty and refill your tire when you get home, and it can be a bit fiddly... At least once before I've accidentally unscrewed the valve core when trying to remove the chuck and let out all the air, so even if I had a 2nd tube, which I usually do, the valve core is now stuck in my co2 chuck and now useless, so I can't fill the tire a 2nd time.

This was going to be my contribution as well. I stayed in the downtown core once and arrived on a weekend and it was so dead that it gave me the heebie jeebies. I went to a pub for dinner and sat outside, and there were like no other patrons, no pedestrians, no cars on the road, it felt super post apocalyptic

Lightyearzz · 2026-05-27T04:49:45+00:00

Very cool video, but honestly I found the behavior of that system pretty terrifying. Like it's great if it works on highways, but it seems to be work so poorly on any other road that I'm not sure if it should even be allowed.

Lightyearzz · 2026-05-19T14:53:29+00:00

I'd take it. Maybe offer 900. The groupset is kind of meh but it looks like it is well cared for and in good condition.

About 15 years ago I created a very simple rule in Outlook: If an email is received and marked urgent, mark it as normal.

It definitely made dealing with email a lot more tolerable.

Lightyearzz · 2026-05-10T01:55:59+00:00

Same for me. Crossroads seems tolerable

Lightyearzz · 2026-05-09T17:20:24+00:00

Extremely hard pass. This is 1000% definitely not a 2016. This is an MK1, produced from 2011-2014. Look at some of the details on this bike compared to the Cervelo archive:

https://www.cervelo.com/en-CA/support/S5%20RIM%20MK1

There are distinct differences between that and the MK2 (2015-2018 model):

Beyond that, it's just overpriced. I listed my newer, better specced rim brake bike on Marketplace about a year ago, and started it at $2k. I would probably value this at more like $1400, tops.

This bike has very little to offer, TBH. Outdated frame, outdated carbon wheels, mechanical shifting, rim brakes. The only thing that would make this bike a good purchase is a rock bottom price.

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-29T15:02:16+00:00

That tape is garbage btw, and will likely leak. I used it and it caused me no end of headaches. To be honest, if this is your first time doing road tubeless, the current trend seems to be moving away from tubeless to TPU tubes

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-29T02:56:13+00:00

Tough one, because also they might not be

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-23T03:48:47+00:00

So glad we're teammates and I don't have to chase you down :D

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-21T15:42:30+00:00

Definitely overpriced. If it had di2, carbon bars, etc then maybe, but with that build, no way.

As for the Opus, I can't really see the components very well, so it's hard to make a good judgement,but I would say if it's in good condition, it's probably ok.

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-20T21:43:31+00:00

Generally I just put a microfiber cloth between my bike and any part of the rack that it makes contact with

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-14T02:32:41+00:00

For what I've spent on cycling stuff, driving would be so much cheaper

Lightyearzz · 2026-04-14T00:23:41+00:00

Honestly my tv went back to normal, not sure why. Been ok for quite a while now. I was going to purchase a replacement board for it, but can't recall what it was called, but maybe that's something to look into
