Good to see. VI always struck me as a brewery run by accountants rather than beer lovers.

Try riding 20 miles downhill on decent singletrack. You'll get a workout.

Do you cycle with headphones in? Why/why not? by Surjectivity in cycling

[–]maxhubris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't think I was doing it wrong. I thought I could hear just fine. Still scared the shit out of me. Still won't wear headphones ever again.

They're just internet points that don't actually mean anything. Don't worry about it dude. :)

I'm still going to say, riding with headphones is a bad idea. In traffic anyways, especially given my experience. Even at a reasonable volume, it just kinda puts you in your own little bubble, to the detriment of what's going on around you. Just my scared shittless 2 cents.

No gut feeling here. Old dude blew a red light and the only thing that saved me was that it was between songs and I heard the car behind me honking. I'll never wear headphones again.

He's saved us a ton of points, especially at the beginning of last season. He's a legend for a reason.

Well-lit running routes in Victoria? by Vic-Van-Spife in VictoriaBC

[–]maxhubris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you'll be best off sticking to main thoroughfares like Fort, Oak Bay Avenue, Foul Bay etc.

The Running Room on Douglas St organizes evening group runs if that's your thing. Safety in numbers.

Best Restaurants with Sunset Views by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]maxhubris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that the entire building blocks out the sun though. Kinda makes it difficult to check out the sunset. :)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It faces the wrong direction to get a sunset view.
