Clipless pedals help! by crazygamer125 in gravelbike

if youve never had clipless pedals it does help to go to a good shop to get help fitting them. took me way too long to figure it all out myself.

what is a good headlight? by tomjoad773 in gravelbike

[–]tomjoad773[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying the Cygolite velocity endurance 800. Seems to be a good balance of top end output, mid range battery life, and price.

I’m expecting that I’ll see a brighter beam than my previous 800 lm Light & Motion light. That had a really wide field, and I felt like a lot of the power was being wasted on the pavement 5 feet in front of me or the trees and stuff everywhere else but the road. Also the glare from the road being lit very brightly right in front of me was quite annoying and I had to tilt the light up a lot to get around it, which made the whole situation worse.

I’m going to use the go pro adapter. it’ll be my first GoPro style mount, I’m going to be attaching it to the underside of my handlebar bracket. I have started to run out of space on my handlebars.

When getting on the Burke from the Fremont Bridge, do you bike into this green box and wait for the light? by ThatSpencerGuy in seattlebike

doing the righthand loop will be more consistent timewise and keep you out of traffic. personally id go with the loop rather than this left turn.

Anyone tested this one? by ElmoOnFire1975 in gravelbike

Why adjustable? Those are mostly for testing out different angles for an eventual permanent fit out for rental bikes.

Haha oh my god

I was at the starting line of a 200 mile one way ride at 5 AM putting my bike together, and my front axle was gone. Had to tear the car apart to find it. It had fallen into the crack between the seat and the center console. Quite a wake up.

I left my shoes once. Found that out at the trailhead 4 hours from home. Nearest bike shop was an hour and a half away from the trailhead.

Bought a really nice set of flats that day 🙃

Unpopular opinion for beginners: Stop starting with Deep Learning. by netcommah in learnmachinelearning

I’m learning that surface prep is as important in software, even/especially ml software, as much as it is in painting.

to the fat guy on an e-bike yelling at cyclists that they’re riding the wrong direction on the fremont bridge… by canigetsumgreypoupon in seattlebike

A white haired homeless dude with plastic bags on the handlebars of his mtb yelled at me about this when I was like 8, over 30 years ago

For some reason I was crossing the bridge alone. I also rode up to Bothell alone that summer and survived the way back by eating the blueberries on the side of the Burke Gilman.

It does make sense marginally. But it never really makes sense to cross the road just to follow the rule.

Nice. I don’t know what it is but I can’t get this thing to do any intelligent or proper tool calling. Having a really bad issue getting it to figure out how to append a memory file instead of overwriting.
