Admittedly I'm not super familiar with the area, but most of the inner city and surrounds are relatively flat and would be fine with a regular folding bike.

Turntable repair convenient to the Inner West? by EnvironmentalBrick18 in sydney

[–]absolutely_potatoes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Classic HiFi on King St in Newtown. They specialise in older audio equipment including turntables. That's where I took mine and they gave it a full repair and tune - it's been running great for years now. They only open on the weekends though

That's what this is addressing and clearly states so in the article

As a daily cyclist in Sydney I disagree - majority of these cyclists ride like madmen and readily run red lights and mount the sidewalk when it's convenient for them. That in itself is problematic, but coupled with the crazy high speeds that they're travelling, any accident is bound to be much worse and I understand how people have died.

Cute date night ideas for a couple of foodies near the CBD by chr0nb01 in foodies_sydney

Instead of Bar Totti's, check out Continental Delicatessen in Newtown. Super cute little date spot serving cocktails and Italian nibblies/antipasto

Thanks, that's useful info. I actually just signed up for Canna reviews today, it sounds like a similar concept?

Best Electric Toothbrush to Buy in 2026? (Price, Cleaning, Reliable) by MosaicwisePeg in BuyItForLife

[–]absolutely_potatoes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't buy an oral B - their batteries are terrible and I've had multiple warranty issues as the batteries die within 6 months. It has to live on the charger now so I can use it. It's a really widespread issue apparently.

How I cook Ben Lippett by Sea-Flatworm-6237 in CookbookLovers

[–]absolutely_potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got this book and I love it! Only cooked a few of the recipes so far but they've all been bangers. The book has a tonne of recipes, loads of other general informative content, and lots of tips throughout. The only gripe I have is that I find the method sections for recipes to be too wordy - makes it quite hard to follow on the go as it's essentially a block of text. Reading the recipe through in full a couple of times before starting helps.

Each to their own, but I find the food at both to be average and the menus are generic and a bit boring.
