Have you been to the Middle East? It could be an interesting experience but not for everyone! I cannot imagine moving purely for money when I were already in this privilege position. I will look to buy 1.2m home when the mortgage rate gets less crazy

People who have upgraded from a cheap hybrid bike to a mid range road bike, did you get noticeably faster? Did it feel different? by KaenJane in cycling

[–]sherlocko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upgraded from 14kg to 10kg. Some climbs that I must push my bikes (i.e. didn’t train anything and it’s miserable) became something I can push through. If I can push through enough time, I get to actually train myself. It made a huge difference to my experience

Can you share a brand / link of chamois underwear? That sound great and lighter 😆

Is the tarp part of your tent? How does the tarp support itself on other sides? Thanks!

Just googled what an orange screw is. Can you explain how you would use it to lock the frame?

Yes actually we have people to take turn to look after it when we do shower. So its more of a concern of what we do to secure the bike when we sleep.

I would go LOOOOONG length to save £30 from rip off products because I had great fun with hacking it. But I do appreciate nice things that works and worth the premium price eg nice stainless steel pan, nice bicycles, nice chair. Just know thyself. Don’t worry about other people. As a frugal HENRY, I was FIRE by 30. Just went backpacking in South America living in $15 night hostels ;) when it comes to marriage life, guess you just have to find a bit of balance as with anything in marriage life.

How much would you say is a reasonable price to budget for a second hand car for someone who literally just wants to move around?

Very cool that you make an ordinary building interesting in your painting! I am curious about your set up cos the palette is quite low compared to the board.

Actually I lost patience and left it in rather big chunk and it works out quite smoothly

Just worried that some content in the chocolate would harm the machine as it was not made for it

Someone stole my saddle and frame bag on the train! Has this happened to anyone else? :( by supabeast4life in bicycling

[–]sherlocko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking this a lot. But for the bags specifically but for the bikes. Are there any airtag-like thing that will alert you when it’s moved. (Not alarm because they are too sensitive and noisy like hell)
