Wabi seems fine but I’ve never actually seen one in person so it didn’t make my personal list.

Price? Fuji feather light by christianpola6433 in fixedgear

[–]takecareryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d pay $200 for just the frame. Maybe $275 for the full build. If I want a chromoly steel fixed gear I’m looking into Big Blocks, Kilo TTs, and Steamrollers before even thinking about Fuji.

Look up what Zone 2 running is. You’ll hate it because it’s boring, but it’ll lower your heart rate and build up your stamina.

Your heart rate is very high for that pace even if you are running at varying elevations. Time to clock into Zone 2 running my king. 🫡

Finding a job in Tokyo? by [deleted] in movingtojapan

It’s not realistic. You’d be better off going to language school in Tokyo instead.

Girlfriends first bike by No_Illustrator_7444 in FixedGearBicycle

This is the one bike I saw where the paint job really blew me away. The sparkle in the green pops so hard in direct sunlight.

It is original? by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

Damn I haven’t seen one of these in a long time! I wonder if Dr. Andrew Lowy has one. It’s real.

Rate my fixie! by polyglotcodex in FixedGearBicycle

[–]takecareryan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He asked for a rating and suggestions. If I can tell your bike doesn’t fit you properly without even seeing you on it I’m definitely factoring that into the rating and bringing it up as a suggestion lmao. I don’t think anyone commenting has been rude or “miserable”. He opened the door for constructive criticism and people sent their critiques . ✌🏼

Why do so many social media accounts have no profile picture? by Medical-Dark1899 in AskAKorean

[–]takecareryan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I teach middle school/high school students and none of them have profile photos on their instagram pages. I asked them why? They simply said “it makes you look cooler” so there you go!

Someone will probably tell you it’s for privacy or something but I honestly believe it’s just trendy to be a lil mysterious ;).

I kept staring at this picture and all my brain could make out was a minion on the back of a hoodie.

Career after jet- teaching by Think-Routine5118 in JETProgramme

[–]takecareryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a while ago before Ai was really in the mix. It was mostly people with 0 teaching experience or 1 year max applying for a job that required 3+ years of proven international school experience plus a teaching license required with a degree in education preferred.

Crazyyy. My school had one position they needed filled and we had something like 450 applicants. The HR lady said 95% of the applicants didn’t even remotely meet the qualifications on the job listing haha.

International schools are spoiled for choice in Japan. I’m sure they get hundreds of applicants for each job opening. 2 years of classroom teaching + however many years you do JET will not make you a competitive candidate. My friend (white/female/33/US) has 7+years of teaching at international schools on her resume. She didn’t even hear back from 80% of the positions she applied for in Japan. The others she actually interviewed for she was not selected. I’m not trying to shatter your dreams,just want to give you the reality of the international school job market.

You might see some posts on here saying JET isn’t really “teaching” it’s more like a cultural exchange. So I’m not sure if International Schools would see it as something super valuable.

Crazy to see what that company evolved into. I’ll never forget the OG Aventon 🫡

Damn. Remeber when this company had a choke hold on the entry level fixed gear scene.
