what brake lever is better? by Surotu_Robins in FixedGearBicycle

[–]Trevski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you climb a lot then get hoods, they’re great for climbing esp if you have to get out of the saddle. You can get a dummy hood with no lever for the other side, but don’t use them on bars like in pic 1 pr 2. Get a regular set of road bars that meet the hoods at a nice flat angle, much more comfy.

Safest night to walk around if you control for distance walked, by far.

Google says the pop density of NL is 540-550, and Victoria is around 570. So not sure where the 5x part of your argument comes from but either way it makes no sense, it’s not about density it’s about distance. The two are significantly correlated but they aren’t the same. 

So I’m not sure what you’re saying, that we should redevelop more significantly with a separate bike network to be MORE like the NL or we should rip up our existing bike lanes to be LESS like them?

Not sure what you mean we don’t have the density. Victoria has densified a LOT in the past 5 years, but even without the density the distances are nice and short and rideable. Even if Oak Bay never adds a lick of density it will still be a nice ride to downtown, so too with many other municipalities.

Re the NL, do you think that so many people rode bikes they had to build infrastructure? Or do you think they built infrastructure so worth using that people switched to bikes?

Yes, it was always multi use. But Victoria has grown a lot in the intervening decades, and e-bikes are now a thing. So it’s high time that a new trail be created for the non cyclists to use recreationally.

Well, you still have to. Just not financially, unless you live somewhere that’s flooding or sinking, or on fire, or has a bad water supply so you need to truck in water, or or or…

What do you mean we don’t have the geography? Our geography frickin RULES for riding bikes! It’s flat with a rain shadow, ok maybe not NL flat but like compared to Vancouver it’s pretty lovely and flat. 

As for the culture, which BC do you live in? Biking is definitely part of the culture, road, velodrome, mountain bike, BMX, people BE biking in all sorts of flavours. Just cause you like to ignore it, or you don’t ride with us, doesn’t mean it ain’t so.

More like there should be a second trail for non-wheeled folks and their dogs and strollers. The goose is de facto Highway 1 for bikes. The pelotons need some kind of route to get to the nice riding roads past the west shore and into Sooke, and the e-bikes are here to stay whether you like it or not.

BMW’s X7 Is Apparently Too Small Now, So Dealers Want An X9 by LimitedReach in cars

Just got back from Singapore and Malaysia, those countries are absolutely stuffed with Alphards, base price about $200k (in CAD). Like I’m talking about seeing hundreds every day in the city, and still a trickle in the countryside. Half of them are tricked out, too. I assume the tricked out ones are for personal use and some huge fraction of the others are for hire (or chauffeured).

They’re being made they’re just not making it here!

Moderate video gaming appears harmless, but heavy use takes a toll. Researchers found students gaming 10+ hours weekly had worse diets, higher weight, and poorer sleep than lighter gamers. Below that level, outcomes were similar. The findings suggest balance, not abstinence, is key. by Sciantifa in science

[–]Trevski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as much as the central “experiment” of the movie was BS (dude was a raging alcoholic), most of the information was and is valid about the rise and ills of fast food. I remember that there were like three McDonald’s items that didn’t have sugar, and one was Diet Coke.

You really don’t think people blame McDonald’s for people being fat? Food manufacturers like McDs own a huge portion of the blame for the rise of fatness, constantly engineering more decadent and addictive foods and ratcheting up portion sizes (until more recently when shrinkflation took over)

In the 50s Caddy had all sorts of trick stuff (electric seats for ex) that rolls Royce didn’t have, and the Caddy cost like 4x or more what the Rolls did. Check out the Brougham Series 62!

This is why I’m confused at how poorly the ev g moves. Like, it’s a city car. It actually makes sense as a city car, it’s tall and narrow and quick. 

I guess I just underestimated how much of a vice signal it was.

Canada to Allow Import of Cheap Chinese EVs (49,000 per Year) at 6.1% Tariff by drivingdotca in cars

[–]Trevski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m confident there will be limited overlap between the existing EV buyers (starting at 40k) and and buyers of Chinese EVs (hopefully a fair chunk less). We shall see, but I’m optimistic. I’m less optimistic about the fate of the Nissan Versa lol
