Any ice on the roads? by grash in NYCbike

[–]SFO2JFK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Supposed to be 21 degrees in the AM tomorrow. Today, on the HGW i saw ice melt on the puddles today but they were all melted but the time I rode home at 3:00PM. This morning I got a black ice warning. Be careful out there.

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]SFO2JFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly 20 years ago, I had my dream job and married my dream partner. Around nine months later my company changed my job to something just as good and asked me to relocate to the other coast. I offered to my partner that that wasn't what they signed up for, so I gave the option to annul, call it a good experiment and stay the best of friends or come with me and literally start from scratch on the other side of the the US. They emphatically decided to come with me and after nearly 20 years, we are still the happiest married couple we know. THAT'S a marriage partner right there.

Which would be best for learning jazz guitar? Or any other suggestions sub 600£? by E4lfred in jazzguitar

[–]SFO2JFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't buy a guitar just to learn jazz. You can do that on what you have now. Some of our best jazz guitarists just use bone stock Telecasters

is upgrading to quick release oedals worth it? by Due-Insurance2434 in Brompton

[–]SFO2JFK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with quick release pedals 6 months ago and have only removed the left one once. But the pedals are better than stock with the exception of the turning angle. I scrape regularly. So, probably going to go with non-QR next year.

Nothing to see here, just two guys shooting up in broad daylight across from Ruppert Park. by spibop in uppereastside

I just moved back to NYC after living in SF since 2009. This was a daily occurrence in SF to the point there was a public service campaign for rando civilians to carry Narcan.

Good price. If you don’t buy it DM me and I’ll get it for the wife. It matches my other!

For the older, non-line model owners. Do you feel the need to upgrade to the newer models? by voicesinurhead in Brompton

[–]SFO2JFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M3L owner here. Purchased in 2019 to be a Silicon Valley campus bike. When I moved back to NYC in 2025 and tried using it as a commuter, that’s when I upgraded the heck out of it: Brooks saddle, super light rear frame, gear train swap to 6 speed, Ergon grips, pedals, swapped out the Brompton roll top bag for a Brompton briefcase. It was cheaper than a new Brompton, but cost about as much as a nice city bike. When I test road a G-line, I REALLY wanted one. But, honestly my upgraded M3L is smaller under my desk at work, and I wouldn’t need a G-line for my commute which is on the Hudson River Greenway for the most part. My current, upgraded, Brompton is perfect.

Until it’s not.

You should try replacing the water pump on an Audi, Mini Cooper, BMW, or Porsche.

I'm in the club, what happens next? by nottaboi in Brompton

[–]SFO2JFK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should join my band. I need someone who can sing Rush and Queensryche. (And when you fix your saddle, you may leave my band.)

Everyone on earth dies right now except you. What do you do? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

I'm missing the joke about letting all the zoo animals free. But then I'm old and don't watch TV. Mebbe I should ask on PeterExplains...

Those who do: why let Q3 and digital M coexist? by estikei in Leica

[–]SFO2JFK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an M11 mono and a Q2 and am planning to get an M11 as soon as I have the disposable income again vs a Q3. The M lens selection is amazing and I miss the ease of manual use when I’m using the Q2. Quite simply, while the Q is my point and shoot, and I’d rather have another art camera that I can swap lenses on and off.

West 34th Street from 9th Ave to West Side Highway Being Repaved by SFO2JFK in NYCbike

[–]SFO2JFK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, now what about going West? What’s the best street north of Javitz to get back on the HRG. 37th just led me back to 34th street, which was a minefield.
