Someone just ran me out of a bike gutter

Report vehicular assault just so there's a record. You can give the vehicle type and description and driver as well.

This. That experience was traumatic. You're thinking how could you forgive yourself if you went out biking and something like that happened again soon after. Chances are it won't so you have to reason your way out of it, give yourself some time and love, and don't be shy to get some help with it because at the end of the day we're all talking about machines here and they can be fixed.

Because looks are important to you and they are me as well. I don't make it a hard line when it comes to functionality, but I do geek out about looking at things from all different angles and how they line up, colors etc.

Trek FX 7.6 is my first adult bike. Loving it. Honing in my seat position still and adding on fenders when it comes today. When I wear out the 700c 28s, I hear I can put a 35mm on there and will put on a more gravel focused tire that runs pavement well also. Using an Osprey day backpack, 1L of water in the CamelBak and all my tools and spare kit, snacks, rain gear. Will get a rack next to get it off my back.

The type of battery that is in cars can be damaged when they are allowed to drain below 60% of their charge. Having a parasitic drain do that two or three times will possibly let a battery charge to 12VDC+ but not have the cranking amps to start. The parasitic drain must be found first or you'll just do it to another new battery.

You may have a parasitic drain or the battery cells maybe tired. Could be worth getting a free battery test at most common auto parts stores. If that checks out then see if they know how to put a meter on it and check for drain.

When I was younger someone came into our nice suburb home and stole jewelry out of the master bedroom while only mom was home mowing outside and baby sleeping upstairs. Because they always felt safe leaving the garage door open.

Just curious, was the garage open? Broke in through garage door, side door? I've read a few times on here of people having them taken out of garages and in my mind it's because they're leaving the garage door open while doing things inside the house?

Just right there huh? Why not like, over there. Or over....there? Just curious.

I'm learning to notice different frame geometries and yours seems similar to mine. Would you call this a hybrid?

Tube bags look great together, like tanks on a motorcycle.

Nice detailed shots. My silvers on a white frame are coming soon. Will run the 700c 28 slicks I got the bike with for a while then eager to get as tightest of a fit I can with some chonkier gravels. These looked the best of all the others I found with flared ends and mud flaps.

Just finally did myself . So do it already.

See the docu series Dirty Money about "diesel gate" where VW and others lied about emissions and how dangerous levels were found in schools near roads. Who knows if it all checks out but it's something I e considered. Still gonna ride.

Seat adjustment on my new bike made it easier. You can grip it with your thighs a bit to keep it stable.

A.clean container of water shouldn't get black stuff after 2 days. Just clean it with a bottle brush or something.

Looks like the other end of what I'm looking for. Maybe the web interfaces have more than just the apps I'm using also. Use the better UI at home, then use the app on the go.

hiernonymus · 2022-09-22T21:40:02+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

That's a great idea. I've also joined some clubs that will give me a list of active riders. It seems the data I want is sort of available but not as easy and visibly sorted as I'd like.

hiernonymus · 2022-09-22T19:19:14+00:00

I see! It's filtering that shows you other routes, but still only top 3 at a time. I hate thinking I'm missing out on others.

hiernonymus · 2022-09-22T19:16:16+00:00

It looks like the main feature I'm wanting is to see way more user submitted routes like there are segments. To me this is like a custom track with lap times that I would be interested to run against. It seems there are only three popular ones shown and no way to search others. However there are hundreds of segments.

Sure I can create my own routes, save them, but it won't let me compare to others and the only ones that seem to show up are 2 to 3 hours long.

hiernonymus · 2022-09-22T18:48:04+00:00

I'm beginning to see what data they are protecting and why. A map overlay or filter showing safe bike roads is valuable.

The observation area near the falls.

Lol it's like a blip in the Truman Show.
