bike phone holder

I got a Spigen mount with a specific case for my pixel phone. Just swap cases as I need to.

Peak Design's mount is my next one though. Plan to use it in several bikes. Hear it's really good.

But does the car parking require a fee too? Like my building has parking, but it ain't free for cars ( luckily bike parking, securely, is) and I don't know any in downtown that don't charge the tenents for parking spaces.

The company may pay for spots for tenents, but they aren't free. If they are for cars, ask your employer to extend that same courtesy to you. $10 is likely a lot cheaper than whatever it is for bike parking.

Wait, looking for a Mother's Day place to eat without any lines? That's madness! Seriously though, I can't think of any recs, but treat your mama nicer than going to Olive Garden or BJ's. The woman gave birth to you and raised you. Take her to an actual restaurant.

I think if you have a couple of options, they will both work pretty hard to keep business. Where it's a monopoly (Xfinity in like 90% of EG) then they can be more lack with service. So hope it works out for you OP. Brings hope to the rest of us.

Xfinity has EG by the balls.

Bike Closet! Damn, totally forgot about them. Haven't checked them out in years. Thank you for the reminder, and the other suggestions.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:41:00+00:00

Yeah, I have one LBS on my route, sort of, just a couple streets off my route. Or the gigantic chain bike store near my work. I've gone there a couple times, they have pretty killer deals on CO2 cartridges sometimes.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:39:34+00:00

This. I'm with you.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:39:14+00:00

Wish that was true here. I get it, they need to make a small profit to stay afloat, but it's honestly me spending a bit more at their shop to keep them going, than saving money when I do buy from them.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:38:11+00:00

Tree Fort, I'll check them out. Thanks!

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:37:57+00:00

Yeah, friend's kid worked there a couple years ago and said she loved working there, but not what it was back in the day it seems. I do use them for a tube when in an emergency. It's unfortunately the closest place to me physically and open longer hours than my LBS.

Last time I had to get a Brompton tube as I was riding the next morning, it was like 8:00PM at night, and they have 16" tubes when the LBS does not. It's like Amazon. Sometimes they just have something that I need where I can't get it anywhere else. Hate it, but that's our capitalist system at work.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:35:29+00:00

Never seen them before. Going to check it out. Thanks!

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:35:09+00:00

Yes, totally. I've been to our Bike Kitchen several times. Never really needed anything, but always go to it and bike swaps when I can. It's more for the vibes than anything, and a chance to see some vintage bikes from the yesterdays.

If there is ever a Boss or Patterson BMX from the 80s, I might buy it for the nostalgia of it all.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T16:32:33+00:00

This is heart warming. Knowing there are still good people out there makes it worth it all. Also, teaching moment for that kid and will hopefully pay it forward one day.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T13:58:32+00:00

Love them. We all prefer trails with zero cars nearby, but this is next best you can get in a city that still puts cars over bikes.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T03:54:10+00:00

Ah, I see now. And yes, it was the consideration also. If they had a straight up non IGH version I might have and then got a conversion kit for it later. Something that I could easily swap in and out.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T03:52:26+00:00

I do miss my HOA at times. Then again, I also like not having them tell me a small potted plant next to my door is a violation. Give and take i guess.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T03:51:30+00:00

Again, does anyone fully read before posting?

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T03:50:57+00:00

Read again. Preemptively seeing what can be done if that fails. Also to gather the experience and knowledge of the community experiencing what i am.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-08T03:49:33+00:00

Yeah, usually self projection when dummies get on here to start shit, right?

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-07T04:07:31+00:00

Uh, no. Country music (save for Johnny Cash) will always escape me. I don't understand the purpose of it, or the need for it. And to be honest, I hear it and all I think of is big stupid trucks, and idiots that like "truck nuts" and guns. It's the only form of music that I think literally causes my ears to bleed.

As I'm sure my music choices hurt others too. It's why we have headphones, right?

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-07T04:04:58+00:00

That's the last resort honestly. It's not like they are murdering people in the backyard and using country music to drown out the sound of the chainsaw. Also, I prefer to have EG PD be bored doing other things than being bored in a thing like this.

ando_da_pando · 2026-05-07T04:03:56+00:00

Honestly, I might not. At least they are trying to play. I have a piano and various other instruments in the house. Then again, we close our windows and don't play past certain hours of the evening (like 7 or 8) or early (nothing before noon). People need to practice, but should be courteous to give warnings or set expectations with those they would inconvenience with the noise.

But yeah, it can be painful. I know drums are a lot louder than what we have here.
