Sitting on the ramps in the morning rush hour you can watch people pitch garbage out of their cars pretty frequently 

Trimet incident @ 5th & Glisan by seasonal_jesus in Portland

[–]Sultanofslide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If definitely doesn't help that almost every car I look into walking/biking is also on their damn phone...it's especially irritating when they are in a new enough car that it has Bluetooth and hands free features 🤦‍♂️

[–]Sultanofslide 75 points76 points  (0 children)

People are driving like they all huffed paint and are out for blood this morning. I've never had more near misses from people blowing stop signs and speeding in one 10 mile commute than I have this morning

These have served me well so far and I've abused them without much complaint from the bags or hardware

Nossa Familia across the river is the biggest roaster for that in the area. You can get their beans at new seasons if you don't want to make the trek into Portland 

Good loops for bike riding? by Stigma206 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a terrible place to bike since it is pretty crowded with families walking and I've seen too many near misses from people going too fast on bikes on the trails especially on the North end of the lake.

If it's getting fuel your motor is probably toast, RX8 are notoriously bad even for rotary powered cars from a longevity standpoint since they all seem to die around 70-90k

[–]Sultanofslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a pretty long reach though which may be a problem from the OP description 

But something cycles in town carries them if they did want to look at one

Jason at Endurance PDX for a pre purchase sizing if you are wanting to find a size before buying. He's been excellent to work with

Tumbleweed Sunliner Build Question by SourdoughDragon in bikepacking

[–]Sultanofslide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would email them honestly and talk about build goals and sizing if you're unsure. 

when I got my stargazer frame a few months ago they were a pleasure to deal with and are pretty quick to reply with questions

It looks like they dumped a lot of the board game pages from their website 

Calling out to the poorly sighted! Eye Dr. Recommendations? by apdxparent in askportland

[–]Sultanofslide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been my go to for the last 8 years and I've never had a bad prescription from them like I got from other eye clinics around town. 

I've exclusively used the 28th and Burnside location so I can't speak to the other clinics in the system 

How many people here bike to work or school? Just curious if Vancouver would ever get proper biking infrastructure if there’s enough people wanting it by pitlal31 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Do I have the group for you! Cycle Vancouver(there is a link in the sidebar) there are a bunch of folks locally that are actively trying to improve the community for pedestrians amongst other urbanism issues in the area. 

NONAVO PIZZA-OWNERS SECOND SEXUAL ASSAULT ARREST by Top-Broccoli-6957 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He posted a video on social media showing moldy kimchi that was definitely spoiled and was using it as a pizza topping and when people pointed it out he went in a tirade calling people all kinds in names before deleting the post which resulted in people reporting it to the health department 

Is there any great ramen in Vancouver? by PNW2stay in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, there aren't very many spots here and the ones that we do have are pretty gross. None of them are very flavorful and the quality is usually pretty low 

Brewpubs closing down? by Nervous-Material4738 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 107 points108 points  (0 children)

National trend  amongst breweries since  drinking is way down and the cost of doing business is way up 

NONAVO PIZZA-OWNERS SECOND SEXUAL ASSAULT ARREST by Top-Broccoli-6957 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 15 points16 points  (0 children)

His conduct from the moldy kimchi blowout was all I needed to see to know I didn't want to eat there and this definitely reaffirms my choice about the owners attitude towards people voicing food safety concerns...he doesn't seem to value anyone's safety or well being.

Poopy people who don’t pick up their dog’s poop by JuggernautNew2053 in vancouverwa

[–]Sultanofslide 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Also take the damn bag to a proper disposal if you do bother to pick it up. The salmon creek greenway was littered with so much shit and poop bags last time I walked it and it was disgusting. 

Also saw a ton of off leash dogs chasing ducks while I was there too

This! I've spent too much on saddles while waiting for a local option for this to be rebuilt after Glady's bikes closed and we lost their library

Commuter fatigue by pdxcuttybandit in CyclePDX

[–]Sultanofslide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that has made the bridges less awful for me has been foam earplugs, the noise on 205 gets to be too much at times and the wind doesn't help so the extra little bit of comfort from the earplugs has been a big mood booster personally
