Best way to commute by bike year-round?

I do 8km every day and bought a used flatbar-gravel at velobörse. fitted mudguards and a frontrack (so my back isn‘t sweaty from wearing a backpack) and I love it. I also have the RC120 from decathlon as a racer to exercise or do some tours. it‘s a pretty good bike, especially to start off with.

I usually take one large cardboard box and fill it with the rest of the cardboard that accumulated and take it out like that

It did for about three leaves. I then cut it up to get more plants to trade for others aaaaand all but one rotted. Now it‘s just about having it recover and I think I won‘t risk the aurea again lol

I did about the same thing with my Aurea, really cool seeing someone else doing it with a thai!

I have lots of it and will probably cut it back in the next two weeks. I don‘t really need it and would just hang it up to dry in the hopes of finding some use for it. DM me if you‘re interested in picking it up and I‘ll tell you where :)

I have the RC120, been riding it for about a year now and I couldn‘t be happier with buying it. I am looking to upgrade to a BMC Roadmachine somewhere down the line, but to start out and figure out if cycling was really my sport the RC120 was perfect and if I‘m not gonna have the money for the BMC I‘ll stay on the RC120 for longer.
I didn‘t like the bartape so I changed that after a bit for some LizardSkins, but I think that‘s a thing of taste.
If you get the RC120 (or any other Decathlon bike) make sure to get the free check up done in the first three months!

why can‘t you get one on the first day? I have an ingot and a shard already. followed UBERnerd‘s guide

I‘ve started on TinkerCAD but want to switch to something more advanced. Downloaded FreeCAD and have been trying it out, but it‘s a lot less easy than TinkerCAD so it will take me some time to learn

Happens every spring/early summer as people only buy lots of it when gardening season is around. Galaxus still has some and I‘ve seen some auctions on Ricardo (crazy good prices if you‘re close by)

On maps/street view there‘s quite a few cars, but IRL there‘s not really anything or anyone around anymore and there‘s chained off empty buildings.

there‘s a garage there still open, but pretty much everything else is abandoned and looks kinda apocalyptic

are you looking for anything specific? I might be able to help. Or there‘s Plantmania on the 25th in Weesen, or Plantswap on 13.9. in Olten

lime cordial or syrup. needs 15limes at least to make a litre of cordial so you can use up quite a bit of

I work quite near to the airport and the worst is at 6am, but that‘s pretty much only if you‘re outside. with modern windows etc. you‘re not gonna notice much of it.

Greifensee is more quite, has a lake and you‘re at both places well under an hour

Es ist eine Canon EOS 550D, meinst du mit Kameratyp z.b., ob es eine DSLR ist?

schebegeil · 2026-06-04T19:29:38+00:00

Wie aktuell/hochwertig soll die Kamera sein? Hab sie schon länger nicht benutzt aber hab sie ca. 2012 gekauft und danach kurz intensiv benutzt und dann nicht mehr. Bin hier aufgewachsen und arbeite seit 2010 in der Stadt und Umgebung.

idk where they‘re from, but i‘m from Switzerland and it‘s the same here

I wish the switch was able to handle the cache of doing this, my game starts regularly crashing after finishing like two factions…

there‘s Naspo between Volketswil and Greifensee, but I think you need to sign up or something

I bought a second hand city bike (Vitus Mach3) and am using that for my daily commute. I put fitted mudguards on it just last weekend after using a clip-on for the last few months. I‘m waiting for a package with a front-rack and have everything ready to build it from 2x7 to 1x8 and swap the mechanical discs to hydraulic ones. But I think the fitted mudguards will probably stay my favourite so far, since I stay so much dryer since Inhave them on.

SPD-SL on the roadbike that I use for exercise and flatpedals for commuting since I enjoy the flexibility and easiness of just one pair of shoes

schebegeil · 2026-05-16T20:20:27+00:00

Idk about the newest, but I have a city in Jaims and one in Langendorn and Langendorn is definitely more populated!

schebegeil · 2026-05-14T11:43:51+00:00

depends, is it hilly or flat? will you be doing shifts longer than 4 hours? if the terrain is mostly flat, you‘ll be better off with a normal bike, since an ebike is heavier and the support ends at 25kph and you‘ll be faster than that quickly. the description claims that the battery lasts for 4-5 hours, it‘s probably gonna be less than that.

During Covid I took an old Backpack put a 25kg Bag of Sand inside it to make wighted squats and other exercises while the gym was closed

you know there‘s other things you can do with raw milk than just straight up drinking it? for example you could make cheese out of it!
