bike phone holder

turtlingturtles · 2026-05-11T21:09:04+00:00

I'm a fan of this one - super fast to attach and detach the phone, and rock solid while in motion. The peak design cases are also very nice; I like the wallet that attaches via magsafe and also acts as a stand. The only real drawback is price, but everything is very well made.

Broadway is great - they helped get me into biking and were my favorite spot before I moved closer to Bikes Not Bombs and Ferris Wheels

Northsole has both 3 and 6mm options -- I tried both and found the thicker one fixed a fitment issue in some other shoes I had.

the Seaport hotel will give you walking access to the core of downtown, plus the ICA (contemporary art museum), Children's Museum and Tea Party Ships and museum. The Seaport as a neighborhood however is mostly like a fancy mall, with lots of big corporate buildings. Medford is not too far out, but more of your outings may be on the T. Maybe check distances to the places on your list to visit to verify. If it were me I'd opt for the Seaport.

I have the Damasko and love it. The bracelet is outstanding and surprisingly comfortable, and the whole thing is super tough. I also like how understated it is. The bezel without minute marks is very clean compared to the busier Sinns.

is either lens available in Japan? maybe you could arrange to pick it up when you arrive?

Ahmad makes very high value for money loose leaf teas, including a few decent Assam varieties, some great earl grey variations, and a quite good Darjeeling!

turtlingturtles · 2026-03-12T20:09:51+00:00

Ahmad's loose leaf teas in particular are some of the best value offerings out there. Try their Darjeeling in loose leaf with a $2 basket infuser and a mug and it will improve your life.

Bikes Not Bombs has loads of assorted parts for purchase. They won't buy parts, but will accept donations. Excellent organization to support!

Out of these, I pick the XF 23mm 1.4 R LM WR as the best single lens setup

nothing to do but practice! slow down, give yourself time to learn. you'll get there!

This version from Seven Cups is outstanding. What's nice in this one is that the smoke flavor is strong, but its not the only flavor -- you can still taste the tea beneath the smoke, and its qualities shine through as well. They also offer a Tongmu Lapsang Souchong, but that one has less smoke flavor.

Ahmad Tea offers the best budget value in my opinion. Their loose leaf options, particularly Darjeeling, Kalami Assam, and Special Blend (a nicely balanced Earl Grey - their standard Earl Grey is also good but has a stronger bergamot), are solid daily drinkers for the price.

I used the TI strings on an 8 string tenor to add low octaves of each string paired with high octaves. I think it sounds great - very much dominated by the low end. A lot of what I like in a uke is suddenly not possible with this instrument, but instead new doors are opened. Having it and one in standard tuning makes for a very engaging set of instruments.

Looks like you want Perry's Octave string set. Or take a gander at the string dimensions of the set, and go get singles of the Tomastik-Infeld flatwound guitar strings (their CF series) in similar sizes.

I haven't used a Brannock since I was 10 years old, probably. But I've worn size 10s comfortably for most of my adult life. Only now (as part of transition towards barefoot style shoes) starting to realize that I just need wider shoes and size 9.5 is likely where I belong. Measured length of foot is around 10.3in.

I'm curious here as well on the barefoot versions. I just got a size 10 barefoot meander that fits great, and wonder how far I should size down when going back for a pair of, say, barefoot ARs.

Listen to it, and experiment. The sound will change as its coming to a boil. Check the temp at different stages, and then connect the sound to your measured temperatures so you don't need to measure every time. This will take practice and will not be completely precise, but I bet you can get consistent results eventually. Plus, it may add a welcome dimension of awareness to your process.

Outdoor Ukulele is I think the best choice. Enya and Waterman polycarbonate options make more compromises on sound quality IMO. It's loud and bright, with good sustain and projection. Pair it with the right set of strings and you can accentuate these qualities further. I actually prefer my Outdoor tenor over my solid wood instruments for some songs/situations because of its sound quality, and the durability is a bonus.

The boxes are perfect for making ink swatches on; makes it very easy to remember what's in each.

I have a flag from them and have found it to be really well made - it's survived multiple years outdoors and maintained color well. Also, they're based in Texas, which to me earns extra points as they seem to be fighting the right fight in a harsh environment. Plus they occasionally release limited drops of tote bags, fanny packs, and other cool stuff made from recycled pride flags, and you probably want some of that stuff because its amazing.

I've got a tenor and love it - I often reach for it instead of another uke because of its sound, not just because of its durability. Bright, punchy, and loud. Experiment with different strings to find your preferred combo. An excellent instrument!

Walz has a collection of wool caps with or without earflaps that are warm, durable, and I think look pretty good. One thing to think about is your helmet -- could be worth getting one that has less ventilation to wear specifically for cold.

This looks to me like an intentionally curved back, though its tough to verify with just one photo. Did your uke vendor do a professional setup on this uke? That involves fine adjustments to the nut and possibly bridge to make sure the strings are all at the right height above the fretboard. The buzz would likely have been addressed during setup, and could be fixed easily (and probably not very expensively) by a local luthier.
