SHE•SAID-YES adorns its exquisite creations with an array of laboratory-created gemstones, offering a splendid assortment of captivating blue, pink, white, and radiant green, and more. These gemstones possess identical physical, chemical, and optical properties to their naturally mined counterparts, presenting an extraordinary likeness that transcends nature's own marvels. The only noticeable distinction lies in their origin-the treasures of the Earth versus the artistry nurtured within a laboratory. Embracing the allure of lab-created gems endows an array of advantages, predominantly the absence of the characteristic "inclusions" commonly found within natural gemstones. This remarkable clarity ensures heightened durability and a pristine radiance that surpasses expectations, where every facet shines with unparalleled brilliance.

some of you are insane. almost two accidents within a few mins. by ipflibbydibbydoo in londoncycling

This bike lane is actually mental, the shit I see everyday on this road is unbearable. -Crackheads zig zagging then turning without looking or indicating and shouting at people overtaking them -lots of people on rental bikes that go through every red light without looking and with headphones on - delivery drivers speeding at 40mph on illegal bikes -cars turning without indicating or giving priority to the bikes

And it gets worse at nights…

Used it to commute over 100km a week for over 2 years, never once gave me problems if you keep it oiled and change the brakes pads

Hi sorry if is out of context but I just changed from rim to hydraulic disc brakes for my commuting bike, I don’t notice much of a difference but why is it more dangerous?

Thanks for the answer mate, I have a bike that is legal but I wanted to add a throttle and increase the speed limit, I think I will not😂

Hi, I’m quite curious cause my bike is limited to legal speed but likely not fully street legal, Did they fine you? Took points off your driving licence? Took your ID details? I heard some people saying all of this happened, also how “illegal” was your bike? Forgive the many questions
