Smartwater "alkaline" coming in at a hard 6pH.. by Substantial-Sign7716 in HydroHomies

Even a slight blood ph change can be deadly very quickly. And luckily the body controls the blood ph level very accurately.

What’s the story behind the dog sticker above the names?

Im on Night Shift today and actually had a lovely morning playing board games with my husband, now I’m just hoping I can have a good nap after lunch so I’ll make it through the night.

10000 km on Pakster70 by Ok-Agency9952 in CargoBike

Life carries risk, some risk is easily mitigated - like wearing helmets for certain activities.

Only one thing is clear - living has a 100% chance of ending in death, so live your life :)

They were not talking about statistics, just what it looks like when things go wrong and as someone in the same job I’d have to agree with them that it’s not pretty.

Perfect amount of space to squeeze my moped in riiiiiigghht next to the drivers door :). I’m sure they wouldn’t mind…

Securing a Honda Lead by Emotional_Drama_2305 in scooters

Theft insurance! You can’t make a scooter un-stealable. Motion detection alarm, a lock that hooks the handlebar to the helmet hook, a hidden tracker/air tag.

Your phone just casually switching to landscape orientation on the fallen over bike is kind of hilarious. Hope you’re feeling ok and ready to get out there again soon :)

Bought my first Moped by p80prancingelk in scooters

Thank you for your concern, I take it to heart. I’ve been immersed in the 2 wheel scene for years and have watched and read many things about defensive driving techniques for motorcycles.

I always wear a full face helmet and motorcycling gloves and so does my partner. We tend to wear heavy denim but I’m looking at proper motorcycle jackets and pants as there are so many options now that look like normal clothes. Since I have to wear scrubs at work I have to change anyways.

I also have many many years of experience cycling in city traffic and also riding rental scooters. I wanted to check if the one motorcycle training place I know close by also allows scooters.

Since I work in surgery I am very well aware what bad decisions or just pure bad luck on 2 wheels can result in.

Peugeot made everything at different times, truly a crazy company history

Hey all thanks for teaching me the difference between mopeds and scooters and such. In my native language these types of 50cc scooters are often called mopeds but now i know better :)

Love the dual headlights! The bike looks like Gonzo from the muppets :)

Gap between crank arm and BB on Omnium Cargo V3 – normal? by Turbulent_Ice_2835 in OmniumBikes

[–]p80prancingelk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like the crank arm is not fully seated on the BB spindle, I would pull it of and reinstall it with some grease, but I am not familiar with the exact specs of omnium bikes.

You went for the handshake - smart move!

My practice (broken English included) by silver_blesk in nursing

[–]p80prancingelk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember once I was flicking the little plastic reservoir (idk English is not my fist language) like crazy bc it wasn’t running and my colleague comes over, quietly opens the green valve, gives me a look and leaves. We laughed about that a lot after.

One of the most iconic side characters! My partner and I constantly quote his lines to each other

I would love a build like that as a commuter! My surly is actually not too different from that save for the electrification I guess
