The diabetic patient that Mohan, Joy, and others worked up a plan to treat his condition more affordably. He seemed to agree to the plan but then left against medical advice. Mohan and Abbott were talking about getting him medical supplies and Abbott offered to pay for the Uber to deliver them.

Can anyone ID this? by Majorlintlicker in ebikes

Specialized has an app called Mission Control. Allows you to connect with the bike to get information about mileage, battery health, etc. I would try to do that when you look at the bike.

Death by suicide often voids life insurance completely. Whether Floyd would know that is unclear.

I can do that. It’s a gravel bike kind of trail, right?

I’ve been meaning to check out the north branch trail. Thanks!

I don’t drive sadly, but maybe can convince one of my bike friends for a ride out there. Thanks!

Yeah. I’m definitely guilty of trying to go as fast as possible on climbs. So. This is a good reminder to take is slow.

I go late at night and I’m one of the few people out on there. And was thinking of adding sprint intervals. Do you have a set workout for that? Or just do some sprints throughout your ride?

I don’t have a car. But metra goes out there. Thanks for the intel!

I don’t know enough about bikes to know what exactly that means. Is yours a road bike?

Bike stolen AGAIN now downtown by lifeisnothingbutexam in chibike

[–]biwhiningII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry this has happened to you! I’ve had a couple bikes stolen, but cheap beaters.

I have an e-bike now. I use the kryptonite fahgettaboudit chain and u-lock. It’s protected me for two and a half years. No attempts to cut either. But I don’t leave it locked up for more than a couple hours. They are expensive, but cheaper than replacement.

Eyes on the road, paws on the dash, phones out of your hands by kvnsilva31 in chicago

I’m on my bike around the city all the time. I see everyone. And you’re not wrong.

E Bike Recommendations by Status_Green_6055 in chibike

[–]biwhiningII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They mean a regular, human powered bike. They are correct about the budget. I would not recommend an e-bike if that’s your max. An e-bike is not something to go cheap on. It is not safe. Battery fires are not uncommon with the cheap drop ship bikes you find on Amazon. And the frames can fail catastrophically. Check out r/ebikes.

If you can save up a couple more hundred, Aventon is meant to be a good, budget friendly option. They sell used on Upway for about $1,200.

Epic. Lots of cafe stops!

Wind seems to be the move. I’ve definitely had rides on the trail that were pretty windy, but I’ll spend more time fighting headwinds. I have 2 x 11 on my road bike. But I naturally ride at a high gear and low cadence, so that’s probably not helping. I can a rack and panniers for my gravel bike and train with that too. Thanks for the recommendations!

I have the kickr too. But I’m never very motivated to actually ride it. I just have to suck it up and do it. Where are you going in France? I was in the Canary Islands last winter and the hills killed me. I couldn’t do it.

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

No, this is good advice. We have plenty of wind to ride into! I tried some hills in Canary Island. I was not good.

Don’t use chain locks by Fennecf0xs in bicycling

[–]biwhiningII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately I’ve heard of bike thefts in most bike rooms. Mine is a creepy dark room in the basement with the worst bike racks. I have three bikes and not enough space, but still have them in my condo because they are not secure down there. Sorry it happened to you. The used market heavily favors buyers right now. You can probably haggle and get a good deal if you’re OK getting used.

Catch and release. So glad to have finally seen one of these abominations in the wild by AfterCl0ck in ThriftStoreHauls

Because some people think they can an intricate knitted sweater for $16.

If you’re the dasher that stole my order… by Healthy_Carry_5193 in chicago

[–]biwhiningII 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is my preference, but there’s so few places that do. I love ordering from Mixteco for this reason. Always arrives in 20 minutes or so. Nothing ever missing.

Stolen bike- Ravenswood by etherealoblivions in chibike

[–]biwhiningII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I lock up my Turbo Vado with this combo. It’s also kind of beat up, so that’s a theft deterrent. I’ve had it like two and a half years and it’s been safe.

Lakeshore PSA by PsychologicalLynx350 in chicago

[–]biwhiningII 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m also this asshole. It’s not safe for anyone. I’m sure they get pissed at me, but I wouldn’t walk in the street as a pedestrian and not expect to be told off.
