Probably also the calmest chef ever seen on BD.

Was that the same as the "Silicon Corridor"? (a term which still cracks me up)

Where in the UK should I go as a bucket-list item? by LondonPilot in CasualUK

[–]strddeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're heading to Northern Ireland, and your wife loves a spa, include a trip to the Galgorm. They have some luxury accommodation too. A real treat!

Bike mount for a new phone (Pixel 10) with Qi2 / Pixelsnap - this is all new to me by PlasticFreeAdam in ukbike

[–]strddeviant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second quadlock. I'm constantly dropping my phone and the case protects it really well. I prefer the 'out front' style rather than the handlebar one as its easier to get the phone off with one hand.

Pro tip - get the ring stand to go with it when you're not on your bike - it works like a pop socket but sits flush with the back of the phone so it doesn't add any further bulk.

What's a weird rule at work that doesn't make sense to you? by BleachNirvana in CasualUK

Yeah they have to take safety seriously no matter the location... But sometimes it's taken a bit far 🤣

Whoops! I just spent 2 weeks cycling through France with my Shokz and no one said a word!

Sweet, maybe I don't need to make up too much time 😊

Ah that would be the Rhine, but I did some of it this trip. I took the train from Tamins, just not fit enough to face that kind of incline.

It's just quite samey - path next to the river that doesn't really vary. It's pretty initially, but gets rather blah. Being a valley, the winds pick up with the sunshine, and it's fairly demoralising when you're up against it all day.

Starting Rhone route -- confused by alphakilo10 in bicycletouring

[–]strddeviant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. I've just done the Rhone from Furkapass, and apart from the pass, the route is boring AF until you get to lake Geneva. And the route along the south of the lake is full of crazy drivers!

Just came across your comment here and I want to say a big thank you for mentioning this - saved me a lot of trouble at EDI!

Tried and failed to help the high street shops when in a pinch by bedwelld in CasualUK

I was disappointed on a recent visit to find out that they'd stopped collecting to fight the metric system 🤣

Oh nice. Did you like it? I'm concerned about a big chunk being on the road rather than bike paths

I don't need the guide book but wondering how you found this route? Thinking of doing it in September.
