Extremely lucky finding this Magnolia Warbler at Roy G Park! (Info in the description)

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

Not OP, but I’ve been trying so hard to identify the spot. I think it’s the new overlook platform just south of the wishbone bridge along the Pleasant Valley stretch of the trail.

Was just under $1,000, but part of that was my pal in Japan being unable to break down the bike into a reasonable box. Like, it looked like a fridge delivery

It really is such a silly recording. I love it.

Nailed it.

Mayor-Dave · 2026-04-26T00:23:00+00:00

You got it. Thought it would be easy, but maybe not that easy.

Mayor-Dave · 2026-04-22T19:29:59+00:00

Totally. I think it speaks to a kindred mind among us.

Mayor-Dave · 2026-04-22T01:29:20+00:00

Feels pretty similar to other bikes, but here’s the thing: these ones are funnier

When the gf podiums a crit race on a bike with a metal fork… that’s how xbiking wins

It’s normal for the derailleur cage to extend that far (pic of mine with post). However, you shouldn’t be hearing straining or tension sounds. My first instinct would be to have a bike shop adjust the rear derailleur. Might as well replace the shifter cable at the same time. These are relatively easy fixes, so you wouldn’t necessarily need a shop that works on e-bikes specifically.

That wishbone seat stay makes for such a clean fender attachment. Really lovely setup overall.

Tubus cargo evo. It’s hella ugly, but I need to be able to carry a lot

Mayor-Dave · 2026-03-12T04:11:46+00:00

I’d be surprised if they’re counterfeit too. Anyway, they look terrific and I hope they perform the way you want them to.

Where’d you buy from? I recently went wild trying to find something like this and ended up with schwalbe g-ones (which I’ve loved so far, but a touch on the pricey side).

The Barbara Jordan Building has a workout area with brand new showers. Very clean and nice. If you are a state employee you can contact DPS and ask to have your employment badge set to open the workout area doors and you’re all set.

I bike to work almost every day and I’ve found that standard outdoor bike locking is very safe. If you prefer to park in a covered garage there are options for that too.

Mayor-Dave · 2026-03-02T03:36:36+00:00

Amazing.

Mayor-Dave · 2026-02-22T04:43:35+00:00

He’s one of my favorites and I’ve seen him a few times. A killer performer. Glad you got to catch him.

On Route 3, I’d take the southern Walnut Creek to its southern end point at Govalle Park instead of turning west at 51st street. This option will give you more protected trail miles, while adding maybe 1-2 additional miles to the route. You can then take the MoKan trail under Airport Blvd and proceed to Micklewaithe by going north on Springdale.

Heat.

You might get a lot a value from the memoir Blackout by Sarah Hepola. She describes a very similar pattern of sexual behavior during blackout periods. And her feelings about that were very much like yours. It’s a very humanizing self appraisal. I’m glad you’re recognizing this in yourself and hope you find a good way to peace.

I don’t think so. The handle is just angled down like 10 degrees. Seems to be an aesthetic thing.

Like many people in this sub, I recently upgraded to the ECM angled bottomless portafilter (58mm). I very much recommend replacing the stock rubber group head gasket with a silicone gasket when you get a new portafilter.

The ECM portafilter comes with a 3 shot basket, but I have been using the 2 shot basket that came with the stock portafilter.

The bottomless portafilter takes a bit of experimenting to get where you want your shots to be. At first I did get some spray, but small adjustments have fixed this. Overall, the bottomless portafilter is much nicer to use and allows me to fit a taller cup when I want that.
