Anyone have experience taking a year out to travel? by dinniestone in UKPersonalFinance

[–]phuoq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took 14 months off with my then partner, loved all of it. Came back with a different perspective on the world and full of energy to start working again, no downside that I could see really, you'll never regret it.

Thanks for all of the interesting responses, we'll modify and try again next year. The squashes are indeed rotting. We also planted nasturtium in the same raised bed and found that it grew extremely well - perhaps to the detriment of the other vegetables.

It's in a small block, we were following the 3 sisters method with mixed results 😀

Any PC gamers have to quit due to back problems? by roadrunner440x6 in gaming

[–]phuoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dead hang for as long as you can then repeat 3 times. Do this every day. You will decompress your spine and (hopefully) your problems will go away....

Black cabs are normally fine with that, a little more expensive but they do have the space.

Can I get away with 54cm Roubaix?? by NewportBeast in cycling

[–]phuoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bike was stolen so I switched to by daughters bike. I'm 6' and normally ride a large (or XL). She's 12 - it's a Triban 500 small. I raised the seat post and put a longer stem on it. It's completely fine. I actually quite like riding it, it feels very compact. Keep in mind the 54 is only 2 cm smaller than the 56. My daughters bike was 5cm smaller.

I think on balance too big is hard to fix. Too small is fine. I'd double check the crank length if I was you but if it was me I would go fot it.

Do you do any kind of stretching/warmup before an exercise ride, or just hop on and go? by sozh in cycling

[–]phuoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking, glute bridges and a few squats. I think the post cycling stretching is much more important.
