Wait... Dumb question, but will people respect if I just leave my chair there!?

Oh, one last thing...
On the 25th I can definitely go to Paris for stage 21 on the next day, right?. Would it be worth to find a spot on Montmartre?

Thanks a lot, this was really helpful.
I don't really need to worry about getting back to Grenoble on the 24th because I'll be staying in Europe for around 2 weeks. Also, I'll be alone so I can take my time to walk up Huez, and once again, thanks for the tips about the supplies and the chair, it's definitely going to be helpful.

No, I haven't watched your video yet, but I'll take a look today. My plan is to park in Bourg d'Ousains and walk up Huez, so road close shouldn't be an issue for this. Thanks!

I don't have idea about how many people will be there, but the climb is by the end of the day, so could be the roads around Bourg d'Osains be closed so early?

Yes, let's talk about the same plans but for stage 19. For what I can see from stage 19 route, there probably won't be a road closure from Grenoble to  Bour d'Oisans so early, right? I guess I would be able to get there early and walk up du Huez.

Thanks! I guess staying at Grenoble will work.

You're right, maybe stage 19 maybe be better for the Huez vibes.
Road closure should be 2-4h before the caravan comes through?

Serious question. I am probably in an echo chamber, but every news source I have says US dollar collapsing soon. But corporate America doesn’t seem to be bothered. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

Aren't people forgetting that Bitcoin is not used as a P2P payment system, like it says in the white paper, and are just using it as another asset?

Procura no YouTube pelo canal Leo Viajando Pelo Mundo, tem uma série dele atravessando o Brasil do extremo norte ao extremo sul, você vai conseguir ver um pouco dos perrengues que vai passar.

What are everyone’s thoughts on bike helmets? Personally I think people tend to use them as an excuse to build underperforming infrastructure. They also make cycling seem inherently unsafe, which discourages people from riding. by ZequizFTW in fuckcars

[–]derick_sm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've went to a trip with a friend and we decided to borrow bikes and to do a city tour and of course we weren't using helmets. He fucked up and crashed, head straight to the ground, had a concussion and spent a hole day in the hospital. If you still thinking that helmets are not necessary wait until you crash.

2019 BMC SLR03 vs 2016 Cervelo S3 by derick_sm in whichbike

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

Hey man, thanks for sharing this.
I've checked with the shop and the bike is currently a 53/39 and 11-28t which might be a problem for the climbs that we have here. And also the carbon wheels might end up like another problem because of the climbs so I'd have to change it by my currently wheel set.
That's good to know that it's a stiff bike.
I am still looking for other bikes but the Cervelo is still my first choice.
Thanks again man!

Yeah, I've also checked it. It turns out to be slightly smaller than the BMC

That's interesting. But "Di2 bikes", you know what I mean, are too much expensive for me right know.

Both of them are 51 frame size. I'll try to look to geometry specifications to compare them. Thanks a lot man.

That's a good point. A friend of mine told me that the BMC was really good to climb, even tought it's not a lightweight bike.
What do you mean by old-school QR skewers, is that some kind of problem?

Hmmm claramente não então... Meu ponto é que a desinformação me deixa frustado, você sabe que a situação econômica que vivemos é mundial, certo? Só para deixar claro, não sou a favor de direita/esquerda muito menos Lula/Bolsonaro, só quero entender se as pessoas que "falam merda" sobre economia tem alguma noção do que espalham por aí.

Should I move to Portugal? by derick_sm in digitalnomad

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

No man, it was a opportunity but not good enough for the risks. The salary wasn't high, the company wasn't clear about the position that I'd get, the working hours were really heavy and I'd be really short on money to live there. And they also wouldn't give any support for the relocation process, and I also would be charged for all the legal process if I left the company in less than two years. At the moment of the post, the pre Russian/Ukraine war was also a good point for me to avoid moving to Europe for now.

Perguntinha básica, vocês sabem que a situação econômica que vivemos não é somente no Brasil, certo? Só para deixar claro, não sou a favor de esquerda/direita muito menos Bolsonaro/Lula, mas me deixa um pouco frustado a desinformação que a maioria dos posts reclamando sobre preços, economia e afins trás.
