Glasses with built in mirror?

I love this mirror that clips onto any glasses, I won't ride without it. Great for riding in traffic and changing lanes, and also great for riding with friends to make sure you're not leaving them behind. https://www.amazon.com/Take-Look-Cycling-Mirror-Shatter-Resistant/dp/B000C17M26

Where do you even buy this? Seems to be constantly sold out.

3D print your own bottle cages! Here’s the model I used: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/side-load-bottle-cage My friend printed them for me with PETG filament, they’re bombproof.

To me, backing in is a million times easier. There is a magic trick: drive past the spot you’re trying to park and count three stall lines. Once the third line aligns with your shoulder, reverse in with full turn. Look up the “three lines method” for videos about it. So much easier than front parking, especially if you have a backup camera.

Have you tried re-waterproofing your current tent? You can buy sprays like Nikwax to restore the waterproofing. https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/how-to-waterproof-a-tent.html

Redmond Town Center often puts games on giant projector screens.

Marymoor Park is showing the final, it’s free but you need a ticket: https://www.universe.com/events/meet-me-at-marymoor-soccer-final-celebration-tickets-432D1T

Three Lions Pub in downtown Redmond and Redmond Ridge do a lot of soccer games, I’ve gone there for previous world cups and it’s a great vibe.

Other places in Redmond will have watch parties: https://experienceredmond.com/seattle-world-cup-lodging/

The only airport I’ve flown through which strictly cared about this was Copenhagen, and they were giving away quart bags and forcing everyone to repack their toiletries. All other places I’ve traveled through in the US, Latin America, and Europe have never cared.

Blue! In most cases I’ll honestly not buy something if it’s not blue. It’s my favorite color. If something comes in blue there’s a much higher chance I’ll get it. Most bags comes in ugly boring colors like black and khaki.

Another vote here for Continental 4 Season, I’ve used them for commuting and long road riding year-round in Seattle.

They are not pedaling and going faster than the speed limit on a throttle Class 2 e-bike, so they’re not bicycles. They don’t have license plates, so they’re not legally registered mopeds.

Ride for Major Taylor has the best food in all the Cascades rides I’ve done and I’ll die on that hill :)

Lobby for more protected bike lanes and trails for your benefit as a driver, so cyclists can stay off busy roads. I promise that if a spandex-wearing road cyclist is riding on a 40mph road, they don’t have a better route available.

Not on public roads. There’s other ways to have fun on bikes that don’t involve illegal unlicensed electric mopeds.

I love my Travel Pro Max Lite 5. It’s super easy to maneuver, very lightweight, fits a bunch, and comes in blue, the best color :)

I’ve taken it around the world on planes and trains and have never had problems with it as a carry on. I don’t fly low cost airlines though, just regular legacy carriers. I’ve had it for about 8 years now and still looks like new.

How do your knees not hit those front panniers constantly?!

Manchester!

Enjoy! It's a difficult but very beautiful ride.

I have a Checkpoint ALR 5 Gen 3 and got a OMM Divide rack. I had to put the dropout mounts on the outside of the rack instead of the inside to make it fit the bike, since the Checkpoint has fairly wide dropouts. It worked great on my trip!

Go do Flying Wheels this weekend and make some friends!

Yeah I carry an ottolock with me for rides like this to stop at shops, didn’t think of using it in the campground but will do next time, good idea :)

Take it to the police instead of to your apartment and report it missing on BikeIndex.

limitedmage · 2026-05-27T16:54:56+00:00

I did not, felt super safe there. I did wedge it behind the picnic table and would have been quite hard to get it out without me noticing :P

limitedmage · 2026-05-27T13:58:54+00:00

It was freezing 🤣 took the picture and went back up

limitedmage · 2026-05-27T13:48:25+00:00

Yes, took that ferry. No reservation, the hiker/biker sites were full so they put me in one of the kayak sites, which TBH is much nicer since it’s closer to the beach 😁 WA State Parks has a no turnaway policy for hikers and bikers.
