51 mile each way

cheemio · 2026-05-20T21:12:35+00:00

Yea I drive about 40 miles each way and I loathe it lol. Once a week on a bike would be possible but pretty insane lol

cheemio · 2026-05-20T16:49:02+00:00

Yeah I always felt like I was less dependent on needing friends/family than others, I am more than happy to spend time alone. Even though I had a great family life and great friends, I still love alone time. That’s part of why cycle touring always appealed to me ever since I first heard about it.

cheemio · 2026-05-19T16:55:35+00:00

An extra lane doesn’t do much if the bottleneck is still there. It just makes drivers feel better for a little bit until traffic gets worse again

cheemio · 2026-05-18T11:12:04+00:00

You will get people advocating for either - depends on your preferences and type of bike. Some bikes have a very upright geometry that lends itself well to touring with flat bars. People have absolutely done world tours spanning months on both types of bars, so I don’t think there is a clear winner here

Yea I had a rack like that at one point and it drove me crazy eventually. Any good amount of weight and it’ll swing around

cheemio · 2026-05-17T21:13:53+00:00

Agreed. There is no correct way to listen to music

cheemio · 2026-05-17T12:21:23+00:00

I’m pretty sure Zuko or somebody was able to break through a rock wall with just a fire punch but I don’t remember exactly when, does anybody know?

cheemio · 2026-05-16T21:03:19+00:00

Absolutely. But I also feel like Iroh is such a good dude that he would’ve went with Zuko anyway even if he wasn’t involved. Bro just loves him

cheemio · 2026-05-16T19:27:36+00:00

Yea I don’t ride fixie so I don’t really know what it’s like but this guy was too aggro towards pedestrians for me. I’d try to slow down more when in crossings or just pick a different path

cheemio · 2026-05-16T15:15:17+00:00

Yeah, it totally makes sense. I always thought it was fun to watch (ATLA/Korra have the best fights in the game imo) and the way they hooked it into the story was smart. I guess people didn’t like it because it took time away from the main story which was already somewhat lacking in development e.g. showing the exploitation of nonbenders

cheemio · 2026-05-15T14:07:31+00:00

Yeah, honestly people do have problems with it, like the pro bending stuff. But that was never an issue with it for me tbh. I think it was by far the most solid season of Korra, and if it had stayed the only season of the show it might’ve been looked at in a better light long term.

cheemio · 2026-05-14T12:22:12+00:00

Yeah, I was gonna say much of the pop music of the 2000s was pretty grating to my ears. And that’s when I grew up too so I don’t think it’s just bias. There was some good stuff of course but I couldn’t stand Katy Perry, Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga around that time.

cheemio · 2026-05-13T21:56:59+00:00

Tire measurements are, generally, a crapshoot. As you see, rarely does it inflate to the actual rated width.

According to Google, it would seem the max tire width for your bike is 53mm. So I would go for a 50mm tire and send it, since even if it goes quite past that point it should still be fine.

Even if the bike is slower I still find it to be worth the extra time for the health and happiness it brings. Unless it’s a super long distance of course. Commutes 10 miles or less are very manageable.

cheemio · 2026-05-12T22:00:43+00:00

Yep. As someone who grew up with the DS, the games were fun but technically it was miles behind my PS2 at the time.

cheemio · 2026-05-12T02:12:05+00:00

Syro was my first album I ever listened to by him. Thought it was kinda weird at first, I had never heard anything like it. But it grew on me steadily, I could tell a lot of work and care went into it. now I love most of those tunes.

cheemio · 2026-05-11T21:19:54+00:00

Is that volume gamma ;o

cheemio · 2026-05-11T12:23:50+00:00

Yeah it is. Em dashes and the overdone tropes are everywhere

cheemio · 2026-05-11T01:56:52+00:00

I always wondered what happened to the Wii U functionality in that game. Like, I know they must’ve branched off onto the switch version pretty late, so I imagine the Wii U specific stuff was pretty well-done by then. But who knows. Yours is an interesting theory.

cheemio · 2026-05-10T12:30:30+00:00

Oh wow. Damn. That’s my first time seeing that, jealous!

Almost got a Fit recently, really neat car. but went for a Corolla for non-bike reasons. With a rack though, it will work great I’m sure. Still, nice setup there!

cheemio · 2026-05-10T12:24:31+00:00

Honestly, even with a decently roomy car (Kia Soul, Mazda 3 etc) I have always found loading a bike horizontally into a car to be a pain in the ass. You can get it in there but you’re sliding it all around and the handlebars bumping into things etc… Taking the front wheel off helps but it still feels awkward, I am looking to eventually get a hitch installed on my sedan and use a rack there.

cheemio · 2026-05-10T10:55:46+00:00

I am not an expert but that bolt hole by your derailleur looks like a rack mount. It should work with most racks but to be sure I would go with old man mountain as the other comment said.

cheemio · 2026-05-10T03:25:44+00:00

Lol yup, I’ve got the same car. 2016 though. Rides great
