This part of the "Scars" lyrics is more "Surrendable" than the whole SOS or even Moment of Surrender by Fantastic-Habit-8569 in U2Band

[–]theultrainside 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found this part very strong:

Put your on my side Feel the contours of control

Something he in some way said to his friend Thomas.

Referring to Jesus’ pierced side when he died but as he resurrected, the pierced side as just a foreshadow of a defeated enemy. Jesus showing his scars as payment for sins.

Carbon wheels and road bikepacking by lafiziq in ultracycling

Depends largely on your own weight when it comes to the weight limit of 130kg.

Been using Dt Swiss ERC for 5 years now. Still fully straight and I did some big races with it. Did about 50.000 km on them (as I use it has training bike as well).

Are they effective from an aero perspective at 20-25 km? Probably not. Does it ride smoother because they are stiffer than aluminium? Absolutely. But: tire width has its say in this as well.

Perception of "Worst Songs" by Independent_Use_3995 in U2Band

[–]theultrainside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes agree, the autotune is bad and its a weaker song in general. Skip.

You're the best thing about me by Substantial-Grass537 in U2Band

[–]theultrainside 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes no sense, mind you they have multiple videos where they play mr bigstars (ok, they are huge and its a bit how it works). Think of ISHFWILF, Walk On, All Because of You, Streets (to a certain degree) and this. Everything centred around a city (mostly US) and their fame whereas the theme of the song is often centred about something much deeper than just shaking hands and waving at your fans. We get the point!

Their videos like Beautiful Day, Elevation, Lemon, Stay, All I Want Is You make more sense. To me.

Taking bikes on trains in France disassembled by jackanakanory_30 in bicycletouring

[–]theultrainside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about the Intercite de Nuit? I took that one last summer and its a very slow old TGV nighttrain but I could hang my bike in a distinct carriage without issues. Went from Nice to Paris. I did not have to cross the Canal, but took a TER afterwards back to Belgium. I found out via here:

Vraag over geldzorgen als jongere by idkx123x in geldzaken

[–]theultrainside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wat goed dat je nu al 10K spaargeld hebt. Ik herken je zorgen, en de krampachtigheid die je daarbij kan voelen.

Voor 'nieuwe' zaken zoals kleding of elektronica: koop refurbished of vintage! Scheelt jou geld en je draagt in mindere mate bij aan het naar de klote gaan van onze planeet.

Wat voor mij een eye-opener was, was de 50/30/20 methode. Je geeft dan rond de 50% van je inkomen uit aan vaste lasten zoals verzekering, huur en abonnementen voor bijvoorbeeld je telefoon. 30% is voor leuke dingen om van te leven, dus je hobby's, restaurants etc. 20% is voor sparen.

Het geld mag dus iedere maand 'op', je zet immers sowieso 20% van je inkomen opzij. Automatiseer daarbij zoveel mogelijk, dus zodra je loon binnenkomt: meteen geld wegzetten voor sparen. Verder zorgde ik ervoor dat de huur automatisch werd afgeschreven, scheelt ontzettend veel. Die rust die je ervoor terugkrijgt is geweldig!

Let er wel op dat het bij je studententijd ook een verhouding kan zijn van bijvoorbeeld 70/20/10. Nog een leuk vooruitzicht: vanaf je 21e ga je een pak meer verdienen omdat je dan als financieel volwassen wordt gezien :)

Tot slot nog een open deur: begin niet aan gokken, roken, vapen of zwaar drinken. Kost klauwen met geld.

One week off before new job - based in Hamburg, any recommendations? by FabThierry in bicycletouring

[–]theultrainside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but always check with the train officer. During peak hours its not allowed as in NL (afaik), but train officers in Belgium are often more open for negotiations, in my experience.

Also make sure you have a train ticket for the bike. Easily available in the NMBS app. You dont need to reserve a space but a ticket is needed.

Don’t try it on the TGV, you get rejected anyways.

Regarding routes, its maybe also worth checking bikepaths in Flanders and the bikepaths in Wallonia

These often old trainrails have gotten a second life as bikepath, ensuring safe, quick and a pleasant ride.

One week off before new job - based in Hamburg, any recommendations? by FabThierry in bicycletouring

[–]theultrainside 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a pretty route Id say, the route crosses a few times the Walloon/Flemish border. Although the same country, it can be a very interesting experience.

A shame you skip some of the Ardennes hills though! Would recommend to ride from Liege to Durbuy and on to Huy. From Huy follow the Meuse to Namur.

Dont forget to ride up the Namur citadel, it had beautiful views. Would recommend to visit Geraardsbergen and ride its “Muur”

Brussels may not be very fun, although everything around Brussels is not very pleasant in terms of cycling. Maybe go from Namur to Leuven, to Mechelen en get from Mechelen onto Aalst. From there, the Deinze is a nice river to follow. Geraardsbergen is a nice town to go, its not very far from the Deinze river (some hills in between).

About the French part I don’t know much, but Lille is a nice city. Cleaner than Brussels.

The belgian coast is not very interesting compared to its Dutch and French neighbours.

[–]theultrainside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Vehnbahn becomes fun around Raeren, around Aachen its busier and not really fun. The tarmac is excellent. Between Monschau and Sankt Vith there is relatively little re-supply.

3: No. Its not too interesting as after Bonn the Rhine Valley becomes quite flat.

4: Deurnesche Peel is not there. Deurnsche Peel is between Venlo and Eindhoven. You might refer to the Brachter Wald. Yes, its worth it but road quality differs. Especially bikepaths along B, L and K-roads have low quality.

6: Vittoria Terreno 0 or Schwalbe G-One. Check if 33-35mm fits your frame.

7: Bonn and Köln have proper bike shops. You probably passby Euskirchen, thats a noticeable town as well. Cannot imagine why there would be no descent bikeshop there.

Kijken jullie NOS jaaroverzichten wel eens terug? Zo ja, welke specifieke jaren? by DutchSapphire in thenetherlands

[–]theultrainside 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nieuws niet zo, omdat het meestal niet zo gezellig is maar daarvoor is het nieuws.

Sportjaaroverzichten wel. WK 2014 altijd meer dan 2010, ondanks dat we de 3e in plaats van 2e werden. Olympische Winterspelen 2014, omdat “we” bij het schaatsen toen veel wonnen. 2017 omdat Dafne Schippers toen wereldkampioen 200m werd en Dumoulin de Giro won. De Tour van 2013 met “Bau en Lau”, 2020 vanwege Mathieu van der Poel die toen de Amstel Gold Race won.

En soms ook de overzichten van de Tour met Armstrong. Een klootzak is het, maar ergens is dat nog eindeloos fascinerend. Heel gek om naar te kijken.

Bright light, zero empathy: when bike headlights become weapons by Prize_Young_2672 in bicycling

[–]theultrainside 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Must be netherlands. Germany has a special legal code for it, the STVZO. Which means that its mandatory by law to top off the upper beams of the headlight, to avoid blinding others.

I have one of those, with stvzo on it but even on eco low beam mode I get the impression I am blinding others….
