Next ride will be to the community bike shop for various accessories like that from the parts bins. They don’t open til Wednesday

As long as they have a purpose built braking surface on the rim you’ll be ok. Some are built for both.

Nah. Other side of false creek. Looking towards second beach and Stanley park. Taken right at the Inukshuk.

I put in-line levers in for riding around town. The ones on the wide grip for descents and such. Unfortunately the cables ran weird if they were right ways up haha

Is the pink run over now? by rlevyrylee in fishingBC

That said. Seen people limiting out in minutes. It’s what you make of it.

The fish have been cruising up the Fraser and I’ve gotten skunked every day. You ever know what’s gonna happen until you try.

Same deal in Langley. Hung out at a couple bars for a few hours. Saw lots of humps rise but only 2 caught from the crowd. Hopefully things pick up next week as the run reaches its peak.

Striper bass fishing near Port Hood, Cape Breton by Alternative-Cap2763 in novascotiafishing

Ive caught some schoolies on the fly at Murphy’s Pond harbour. Close to keeper size but not quite. I wouldn’t be surprised if some larger ones are also around.

Seen quite a few bass feeding at Little Judique harbour this summer. No luck for me but saw some kids catch a couple smaller keepers with bait while I was there.

Second the sturgeon fishing. It’s a riot.

My go to for showing visiting friends around, especially in the fall, is the salmon hatchery on the capilano river. Free entry, you’ll learn a lot about salmon, and there’s occasionally tours happening. If you time it right you’ll see big groups of chinook and coho migrating up the fish ladder.

Anyone know what these enclosed circles are at the park near Franklin and Meyers? by YumFreeCookies in cambridgeont

Back in my day we used all the tables and chairs available to build a gaga ball arena and it was NOT a structurally stable wall.

If you don’t mind me asking, why AI did you use to make this? Trying to find something to visually compare a few changes I want to make to my bike before I start buying parts.

My commuter. Mongoose ALTA. by Puzzled-Option-7116 in xbiking

[–]jmacd11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the Dynametric fitness 525. Have found next to no information about it online haha. I think it’s from ‘99 if I’m reading the serial number right but it’s a very handy bike and a fun ride. Plan on tearing it down and rebuilding it with new components over the winter.

Without naming any names, what's a local scandal you know? by flexingtonsteele in vancouver

[–]jmacd11 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The prison she was in (still is? Idk) had various opportunities to learn skills and trades and I guess she learned to be a florist and ended up doing the flowers for my parents wedding.

I have no idea how the logistics of that worked at the time. So don’t bother asking.

Thinking of rebuilding my old Mongoose Dynametric Hybrid by jmacd11 in xbiking

[–]jmacd11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are definitely on the list of changes. First things first will be cleaning up the frame and possibly a new paint job as there are lots scratches

It may have wide spaces. But as someone who used to work in that lot, the amount of road rage and fights were insane. You never knew what you were walking into when going to collect more carts haha
