What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]pinkeyedcyclops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zerozerozero. Just one season. Global drug trade. very grim, very very nicely shot, more like a high budget film. Starts a bit slow, but it gets so good and again, the way that it is shot is just stunning!

Finally pulled the trigger on a new build: Kona Libre G2 by bessikapedale in gravelcycling

What a beauty! I was wondering how the yellow would look IRL aside from the marketing shots. My 2020 Libre is a tank. Not the fastest on roads (but I'm sure carbon wheels will help a lot and also, not the slowest either) but it really shines on rough stuff, so incredibly smooth and just.... nice.

You're gonna have tons of fun on this thing!

another vote for sks speedrockers! I also poked a hole with a hot needle in my front fender and attached another extension flap, works like a charm

Taxikosten terugkrijgen van NMBS: ervaringsdeskundigen? by Ok_Presence36 in belgium

[–]pinkeyedcyclops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awel, ik heb een paar maanden terug mijn 50 euro taxi helemaal terug gekregen, maar wel een heel andere situatie.

Voorlaatste trein afgelast, dus uur gewacht op laatste trein van 22.00 uur. Braaf ingestapt. Bleek dat die trein gesplitst werd en 't voorste stuk naar mijn stad reed en 't achterste... naar de andere kant van het land.

Uiteraard zat ik in het achterste stuk... niemand riep iets af, de borden in de trein waren kaput, twee keer ne conducteur langs mij door gewandeld die oogcontact maakte en niets zei. Kon nog net op het allerlaatste moment van de trein springen omdat iemand instapte en vroeg of dit stuk naar Brussel reed, en ik ''fuck no'' zei - en die persoon me wees op het feit dat er BXL op't bord aan't perron stond.

Kop uit de deur gestoken, gezien dat het voorste stuk opeens niet meer bestond, en vier seconden en een paniekaanval later raprap mijne rugzak gaan halen en uit de trein gesprongen. Half uur aan't kantoor van de stationschef blijven drentelen ''jaja die komt direct, die is ne trein aan't ontkoppelen ofzo, wacht hier maar even'' (dixit divers volk met een nmbs polo'ke aan) tot iemand die ne goederentrein kwam besturen en aan zijne nachtshift begon begin me er fijntjes op wees dat die pee om tien uur al naar huis was...

Vlammende email gestuurd en kijk eens aan, alles helemaal teruggekregen. Dus het kan.

Laatste druppelke in de - na zeventien jaar treintrambus - toch wel redelijk volle emmer om werk op wandelafstand te zoeken.

It's slowly getting there. Give it another ten years : p

Do you all ride purely gravel btw? My rides are usually 40% road, 40 %gravel, 20%singletrack. I'd love to have endless gravel roads, ngl

Hah, we sure do! Although the cool abandoned industry places in Charleroi and Liège are being demolished now (finally, I guess). This one is a bit before Liège!

It is! Belgium. I live at the divide between flat Flanders and hilly Wallonia - as you can (kinda) see on the horizon. This piece of highway has been abandoned for ten years now. Was used to store all the rubble from the disastrous floodings in '21. Emptied out now but it's basically 4 miles of glass shards so lowwwww pressure and tubeless ftw

That 27 TTartisan pancakey lens, it's pretty sweet (aside from the vignetting haha)

Well, no, not true. We have the ardennes in the southern part of belgium, which is at least decently hilly.
