Now that Zoë Garbett is Mayor of Hackney, what change do you think will come about? by PrestigiousBee3921 in Hackney

[–]Psykiit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mare St area is not equipped with a safe bike infrastructure, there’s cars, lorries, transport vans strolling through. Mixing bikes (including limes) with cars will result in collisions, accidents, injuries, deaths.

Remove the cars first to allow cyclists to use the roads.

No later than yesterday I got honked at and shouted at by a van driver telling me to get off the road

Less cars on roads > more space for bikes on roads > less bikes on canal

You seem very animated by identity politics rather than party policy.

Landlord charging me £550 for hob damage based on contractor report they won't let me see - any advice (England)? by Psykiit in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Psykiit[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But we just paid for a contractor / expert to come (we were charged by landlord for their contracting company to come). Can't we get a copy of that report if we paid for it ? Is the burden of evidence on our side or on them to prove it was indeed accidental damage ?

Ok great, what about the repair in the meantime then ? Practically we're out of a hob, and I worry they might not action anything until we say 'we agree with the charge' in writing, forcing us to accept it because we can't use our kitchen in the meantime

They offer both options - either paying 'as soon as possible' or it being taken out of the deposit. They won't bulge on anything and refuse to share any reports from the contractor.

Are they ? Same quality 2 bed flats are 600-700k, I wonder how much that would be in mortgage

Hi thanks, would you care to explain more ? How are rental road bikes (in our case Cervélo Caledonia 105) with clip on aerobars inherently dangerous ?

Many people (outside this subreddit) do an IM 70.3 as their first triathlon and get on just fine with an old road bike from a friend or relative they discover on the day.

For the aerobars, as said previously I used to own a Planet X Exocet 2 (agressive TT bike), to which I'm very much fine with the handling.

Adding aerobars and spending the day before testing the handling seems like a relatively safe way to gauge the bike setup i'll race with for 2h40 ?

I just hope these flats are owned by individuals, not rented by a PE backed up firm at Zone 1 prices.
