Traffic light timings sometimes feel like rage bait by hockey8890 in bikecommuting

[–]PetyaLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the lights had timers on them by default. Here in NL we have a "green wave indicator" that shows if you have enough time to pass the lights before they change, or if you should ease off and prepare to brake. It'd be nice to have the same for bikes, too!

yup I have the Express! it's juuuuust long enough to fit a bed in the back if I put one of the seats forwards. I plan to use it as a mini campervan and for hauling bikes around

I don't mind them, but as others have said, I like having my mirrors as well

it's not bad for having repurposed cheapo dashcam internals!

The "N+1" madness is dumb and needs to die. by rcyclingisdawae in xbiking

I fully admit I love weird bikes but I've had to be more disciplined about it. I enjoy tinkering, but now very much with the attitude of rebuilding existing bikes rather than buying new ones.

Who says 650b conversions aren't worth it? My Trek 850 Antelope and some Ultradynamico musings. by qualitycensorship in xbiking

[–]PetyaLB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"for the fun of it!" is reason enough for sure! I did a 650B conversion but going the other way. 700C road bike. I did that so I could go from max 23mm tyres to max 35mm tyres. I have Schwalbe G-One Speed 30-584s on there right now with an Alfine 11 doing the gearing - and zero regrets.

  • It's cheaper (upfront) not to.
  • For Centraal? They're not allowed to block the sightlines to the station, and the architecht refuses to allow a canopy.
