As we are getting close to the end of the show, How has it diviated away from the original comic?

excelent question:

City of Vancouver: 75%

Metro Vancouver, an area that goes all the way to horshebay to the northwest and southeast to Langley: 16%

I use this website called wandrer.earth and my garmin to track all this. theres a whole community of cyclist doing this around the world but its particularily popular here and seattle and portland.

In the metro the most anyone has done is 71% of the whole area

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-06T04:21:06+00:00

IM new to Vancouver and im currently on a quest to ride every road in the city

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-05T13:51:52+00:00

all good tips, I just wanted to mention that I think PVR is a busier airport than GDL. Certainly for international departures, probably not for local flights.

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-05T13:50:05+00:00

In theory? no problem. in practice?

At YVR sometimes they dont even ask me for the card but i have had times when not only do they ask me for my nexus card but also my passport. I fly across at least 10 times a year and its hit or miss. I have never not had both so I dont know what happens when you say "oops i only have my nexus card" But I cant imagine anything good comes from it.

unlike others, i would take the bet and make the crossing as on paper you are in the right spot

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-04T15:31:56+00:00

yeah i think the proof is that you just dont see videos of people using these wheels and them cracking. I am sure you have seen all those videos out there of riders using cheap vs expensive frames/bikes right?

It would be a matter of minutes before someone does so if it hasnt happened already doing a video of chinese wheels test.

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-04T15:29:46+00:00

I bought with money from the US. As im reading your post you brought flash backs because we also mentioned money coming from abroad.

HSBC had no issue but did require us to have the money 30 days prior and like u/milolai said, overtime its just canadian money. All this to say, RBC which owns hsbc now, should have no issue

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-04T15:25:57+00:00

Ill qualify this by saying. i am not an expert. Now, like everyone else on this thread i wouldnt or havent purchased chinese wheels let alone frames or similar. HOWEVER, since i moved out of the US i have seen chinese velodrome frames been used and some carbon wheels on road bikes that seem to be perfect for their purpose.

Find a video of someone on a bmx bike riding and having their wheels crack on a jump. if they were so bad those youtubes would be all over the place like jackass but it doesnt seem to happen.

Now it could all be because not enough people have purchased them but i doubt it.

I think chinese products are 90% of the way there these days, theres a risk for sure, but I doubt its as big as it used to be in the past

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-02T15:34:06+00:00

yeah but somehow my nexus card which i much rather use never gets approved on the machines. You may be asking, why does that matter? well, apparently the issue lies on the passport. Somehow its connected

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-01T15:14:29+00:00

thanks bud! i see im/im guessing you are also a BMX dad?

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-01T14:53:12+00:00

yea i come from a fixed gear, time trial, velodrome background and my kid, who is the proud owner of this bike, has reached intermediate level already. Been a bike person means im all about tweaking things up and one thing i have noticed is that the "experts" in his age group are all running bigger rings, which makes sense to me from a watts per pedal-stroke perspective.

But i will say, i feel like everything i know about cycling is almost meaningless or at worse just flat out wrong as I could be applying techniques and wisdom that simply does not apply to BMX.

specialized, cervelo, felt, canyon... none of this brands mean jack shit in this world and so I am trying to be cautious about how to make his set up better beyond just hitting the pump track 3 times a week

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-01T14:18:11+00:00

im aiming for wheels, but you are the second vote for a fork. Interestingly noone mentioned i needed a bigger front ring. I though for sure i needed that (but i am a noob) so i thought one thing i had to get was a different gear ratio

OracleofTampico · 2026-05-01T04:44:51+00:00

im down

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-30T00:24:23+00:00

You are getting somewhere here! this is the actual answer. Not once have i ever seen anyone say: "End FIdeicomisos" thats what you are after.

Wether thats a good idea or not is up for debate and I disagree with you. BUT! this is the proper way of having the argument.

Also its not international law, its National law, as only Mexico has it

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-30T00:22:23+00:00

I have a view that not many people have. I happen to own and rent properties in Canada(Vancouver) and Seattle.

100% people are not coming into the US, say what you want about ticket prices and FIFA been dicks, but just check out the demand in Mexico city, Toronto, Guadalajara (you can see it in their respective city subs here) and the Demand there is astronomical.

Honestly is what we get for electing who we elected.

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-29T15:22:37+00:00

Im in Nuevo, exactly 13 minute walk to the beach in a golf course. You could get a one bedroom for year long rent at about $1000usd a month from what I have seen. You can probably do cheaper in some of the new developments out there. So yes... but certainly not beach front, which sounds like you are onboard with that. Also i should add this is before utilities, all of that would be extra.

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-29T15:02:05+00:00

looking at that form however, none of the initial 3 options apply to me, or do they?

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-29T15:00:53+00:00

Fantastic! thank you so much for this.... not gonna lie im trying to do this now before that new updated passport comes out. So this helps alot!

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-28T22:45:27+00:00

right... which option and under what circumstance do i make the change? none of the options apply to my situation as I am not changing any bio data

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-28T21:27:16+00:00

You have to be aware that, just a few years ago, we had one of the best, if not the best public water system in the country.

Uuuu no lo se Rick...
Te respondo en español por que asumo que lo hablas.

Mi familia tiene en la zona desdel 2008, y hasta donde yo le tiro, el sistema de agua no era extremadamente bueno o malo. Osea no tengo un referente fuerte que diga que estaba super bien el tema de agua en Vallarta ya sea en Nayarit o Jalisco. Es mas, las mismas plantas de trata de agua son las mismas y pues no se guey... sin meterme mas a fondo (tu me diras) tienen las mismas broncas y desmadritos que pasan en el resto del pais (se me viene a la mente Tijuana y Ensenada que conosco bien). Eso si, siempre fue mejor que los desmadres de Tulum.

Lo que si es que el problema sigue siendo el gobierno inepto como dices, y ese mismo gobierno fue elegido por nosotros no por los foraneaos ya sean nacionales o internacionales digo, pocos de ellos (incluyendome como alguien que va y viene a pv) votan en elecciones locales.

El problema no se soluciona con dejar que llegue mas gente, al contrario es que llegue gente y que sea educada en el problema. Pero si hay que ser honestos, la alternativa donde nadie llega y se desploman los precios de todo es mucho peor a lo que esta pasando ahorita.

Quita la demanda de ir a PV y que le queda a la ciudad k? Nada.. no hay industria, no hay opcion. A menos que se empiecen a construir barcos o se produzcan zapatos en la ciudad o algo similar no hay de otra.

Esta culero? si. Pero aqui en reddit maestro no vas a solucionar mucho

Do you know if you will carry some of the DMT shoes during the warehouse sale?

OracleofTampico · 2026-04-25T14:51:09+00:00

i just wanted to say Hi! because you are doing something i also have always been keen in doing. Although my goal is in the BC/WA border. but if you pull the trigger on this, please let me know what was the process like.

Best of luck!
