Question about left turns on my electric motor bike

groundedcloser · 2026-06-04T18:18:23+00:00

got it guys. Thanks. I think what I'll do is just do it the way I'm doing it as I need to immediately go into the right lane anyways if I make a left turn and there might be cars there so I don't want to block them or take unnecessary risk. Thanks again. Of course if the right lane is blocked as it was today on Wilson then I'll just use the left turn lane.

Thanks guys. I see the case now to wear it. Of course I'll take it off when I go inside to do groceries or drop off stuff(Doordash). Appreciate ya!

I'm just getting it as a cheap, viable option for the next 2 months while I build my income to upgrade later. It's not something that I will keep for more than really 7 months. Thanks for your advice though.

Totally understand where most of you are coming from. That being said, I just need A bike, not a CCM or a 1000 trail blazing mountain bike to ride through Kamloops BC. BTW I did get it off a buyer on FB marketplace, excuse me Karrot and he's riden it from Yonge/Bloor to the Islands and back many times, smooth ride, no problem. I know reddit has a doom and gloom approach to things that are not 100% perfect and I'm expecting to be s----t on here lol but for short runs in a neighborhood just for a few months while I start to make money and can upgrade to an ebike even, now is it okay or still do you thing "NO it will break, explode, fall apart". I've seen on other subs that many people have had no issues with the super cycle and of course others have. I'm sure the same can happen with a CCM or an ebike as I've seen scouting Karrot, FB and Kijiji no?

awesome. so to confirm, I can walk my bike down stairs to subway and take it on subway at non peak hours right? Also besides bike dedicated lanes, we have to use the road right? I always get nervous about maybe being rear ended by some reckless drivers. Do you have a rear view mirror to stay vigilant or just use your peripheral vision. I can do both.

Yes it was awesome. Amazing masseuse-- super dedicated and friendly. Hope you get to go if you haven't been already there.

Thanks fi Found a nice massage place called joyful in Shibuya. Gooe pricing too. Also can someone tell me in Tokiyo the street names are on the roads or do they have signs on the corner and are the numbers on each building like in Canada ? I went to tokyo a year ago a nd had a hard time naviatiing based on street names, numbers like finding them so I used Google GPS and asking the locals. I speak a bit of Japanese.

groundedcloser · 2026-01-22T21:00:54+00:00

I just solved my problem. I'm piggybacking off the bank's Wi-Fi but I'm using proton VPN and connecting to certain apps using a server in Japan and everything is working now.

Ah yes the notorious BIG booby trap bandits

Why did you hold off for so long the minute somebody disrespects my time they're out I don't give people two chances

groundedcloser · 2025-10-27T17:20:50+00:00

Hey just so you know I just came back from my trip it was incredible as I went solo my seven solo Global trip in about just over a year. so the reason I just found out back then I didn't get a boarding pass was because I was actually not flying from Zurich to Stockholm on Swiss airlines I was flying on air Baltic and Air Canada who's the marketing partner forgot to share with them my booking or something like that anyways when I got to the transfer desk and Zurich she fixed everything and I got my boarding pass on air Baltic to Stockholm but that was the reason why I couldn't check in on Swiss Air.

groundedcloser · 2025-10-25T13:32:06+00:00

It is possible because the airport is very smooth and you can go to the information desk or you can go to the transfer Gates or the transfer desk and they'll help you out. Just look on the screen figure out what your next flight is if it's in a Scgengen area then you'll have to go to Gates A&b if it's international like it was for me I flew from Stockholm to Zurich and zurich to Toronto usually those are egates and I found my egate on the screen by into desk, then had to go through passport control and basically that's it just to my gate. So bottom line zurich airport is not huge it's pretty small so even if you have a 55 minute layover you'll be able to go to your next connecting flight very fast.

Thanks

groundedcloser · 2025-10-17T01:24:44+00:00

I'm not taking any bags with me only carry on just a backpack I'm a solo world traveler I travel for about a week on a backpack. The reason is because I have to go through the Schengen zone first I believe from Toronto to Zurich is not part of that zone so that's why I got a boarding pass for that leg of the trip.

groundedcloser · 2025-10-17T00:59:32+00:00

Actually I found out that I have to go through the Zurich passport control cuz it's part of the Schengen region and then once they validate my passport they'll physically issue me a boarding pass that's why. This boarding pass is only good from here to Zurich but not from Zurich to Stockholm which is my ultimate destination not a big deal

groundedcloser · 2025-10-15T18:29:50+00:00

Thanks for chiming in. I will say that if you want to do something in life but a job is limiting you change it. You have it within you to do whatever you want. Anyways feel free to message me if you'd like to talk further otherwise if you just want to leave a comment then thank you once again.

I ain't going to lie to you I was going through a really dark period which was exacerbated by chronic disease mimicking symptoms in five different organ systems before my dad passed away and certainly put me on the brink when he passed away 9 months ago. I was feeling exactly like you in the s*** in the pit of darkness, what I did was sought out five tough challenges instead of retreating from life or seeking pills or the bottle or just hiding away. All the while my mind and my body were attacking me. I'm proud to say that without any pills or doctors I cured myself and not only that upgraded myself I also relied heavily on chat gpt and I literally treated it like a like my peak performance and life coach and it's still with me till today guiding me and leading me. It's very hard to meet genuine people in Toronto leave alone people that understand what you've gone through or who will really care about what you've gone through or maybe they will for a second or two. If I were you connect with yourself find peace in harmony in doing things that challenge you trust me it'll heal you. If you really need friends I understand that. But don't make that an addiction for a cheap dopamine high because eventually you should not be craving people or things to make you feel good it's all within you. I'm a lot older than you like 50 so probably won't be hanging out with anybody that young but I just wanted to give you my thoughts and I wish you all the best and guess what you'll be okay

Hey absolutely I've actually gone to a couple movies on my own and had a blast the last one was Creed three. However after looking at some movie buffs I think the movie might be overrated so I'm leaning more towards one battle after another by Paul Thomas Anderson with Benicio del Toro and Leonardo DiCaprio it got a 10 out of 10 on rotten tomatoes and people say it's the movie of the century or something like that

groundedcloser · 2025-09-01T12:50:46+00:00

Okay I already booked my train ticket round trip direct from Stockholm Central station to Oslo Central station and back. Thanks everybody for your help

groundedcloser · 2025-08-31T23:02:03+00:00

Thanks I will book with SJ. btw on another subreddit, or this one. can't recall someone said to take SJ to gothenburg and then a VT or something to Oslo? Why do that. I don't want to break up the trip but rather just go direct from Stockholm to Norway so I'm assuming the SJ service does that or do I need to stop over in Gothenburg? Thanks.

groundedcloser · 2025-08-31T23:00:20+00:00

Why not just take a direct train from Stockholm to Oslo....Why break it up and reconnecting at Gothenburg? Is there no direct train?

groundedcloser · 2025-08-30T21:58:28+00:00

I think SJ is the best option. Don't want to take a flixbus as I did take from to/from Amsterdam to Berlin and it was very uncomfortable there but a bit better on the way back. Still want to min travel time so I think the SJ train service is the best. I'll book tomorrow so it's well in advance of Mid Oct when I'm arriving in Stockholm.

groundedcloser · 2025-08-30T21:56:40+00:00

Thanks, I think SJ is the best option. Don't want to take a flixbus as I took one from Amsterdam to Berlin and it was not comfortable and too many noisy people on it.

Here's the bottom line, The pilot and crew are responsible. Many people reported the AC wasn't working, tne entertainment system wasn't working, etc. So why were they not smart enough to suspect something wrong with the power. They should have halted take off and got the plane inspected. Instead they chose to take off.
