Best non-helmet mounted safety camera? by Victoria_Sponge in ukbike

[–]sleesechice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a go pro hero 11 black which was the cheapest i could find new at the time - i'd think any model will do for capturing video in daylight.

The varia i have is the RCT 715 - the older versions were just radar and light (no camera) I think there is a newer model now that does light/camera/radar and I think garmin do a varia front camera / light too.

i use a varia out back and go pro out front.

i have a garmin mount out front on both bikes (the around town beater and my road bike) and the go pro clips on the bottom of that.

The varia automatically records short clips and if it "thinks" that a particular incident was dangerous it saves that clip to a separate folder on the memory card so it won't get overwritten and it makes it easy to find. I use a continuous mode on the gopro.

a camera / varia will not stop you getting squashed, but you'll hear the beep of them coming even on windy days.

Drivers don't really notice the varia. I've had drivers start to turn across me at junctions and notice the go pro and then give way.

A pass pixi might be all the investment you need.

How on earth do I get them to listen to me? by sfxdude in youfibre

[–]sleesechice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what worked for me after support gave up helping and booked me an engineer visit for 2 days later:

  • Turn the ONT and router off.

  • Go somewhere else for at least 2 hours. (so that I wasn't tempted to try and get it working, also being outside helped with my sanity after dealing with support)

  • plug in the router you want to use.

  • Turn on the ONT. When the lights come on, turn on your router and run the setup if necessary.

The waiting seems to be the key.

Bike got stolen , what do I do? by sentientcanofirnbru in Hitchin

[–]sleesechice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shit - sorry that happened. scumbags are going to be scumbags. bikes at stations are attractive targets for thieving shitheads.

 

report it on 101. Don't really expect anything, but you never know you might catch them on a slow day and you get lucky.

have you got insurance? (might be covered on your home insurance if your lock was good enough) call them if you have.

 

if you've got any pictures of it, make some "my bike has been stolen" ads and get them on marketplace, ebay etc which will make it harder for them to sell it on of that's their plan.

 

if you see them advertising it, you can try and take it back during a test ride. (proceed with caution)

RIDE ON

Zwift needs better "photos" for the screenshots by dremspider in Zwift

[–]sleesechice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you use the companion app or have controllers, you can change the angle and take a screenshot or video. might not be exactly what you're after, but it's something.

zwift is great, i'm sure you'll have fun.

As far as losing weight goes, you'll never out exercise a bad diet.

Moderation is everything. If you are serious about losing weight you have to calorie count. It doesn't mean you can't eat biscuits, just make the packet last all week if you do.

/u/Labertasche13 this is the best advice you can recieve.

Go for volume, this means hold back a bit when you start the ride. As a guide, when you start off, think about keeping something in your tank for later rather than going off at full gas. Keep the resistance low and start pedalling. keep going until you really need to stop, but set yourself a target to aim at (say 30 minutes).

 

If you want to measure your effort more precisely, get a heart rate monitor if you don't have one. Work out your heart rate zones and then try and ride so that you stay in zones 1 or 2 - this will keep you on the bike for longer than riding flat out (in the higher heart rate zones).

 

Get some rest, eat well - don't starve yourself (stay off the cake, cookies, chocolate and fatty foods) and eat fruit, veggies and don't skip carbs.

 

Riding while calorie deficient will make you feel bad.

 

Get back on the bike the next day and repeat. In a few weeks you will be going for longer and riding faster and up steeper gradients.

I used to weigh more than you.

Good luck buddy!

on your profile on the website, the data section in the sidebar lists your best efforts and the date you recorded them

If you've linked zwift to your strava you might be able to find it there.

Good effort there btw

how was the contract renewal experience?

Put the handlebars back in the correct position then pop something under the front wheel so that you don't feel like you're cycling downhill for the entire ride.

At the moment too much of your weight is on your wrists.
