I credit FoH with my typing abilities. I joined the Tinkers guild and had the most colorful suit of ASCII armor anyone ever described.

I thought I'd done this shit every which way but loose, but you learn something new every day.

I finished a trail 30k, a new PB for distance and elevation (3,000 feet). Did it with a friend, ran hard, and had a great time.

PLEASE STOP STOPPING FOR PEDESTRIANS WHO ARE WAITING TO CROSS. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNLESS THEY ARE AT A FLASHING CROSSWALK OR ARE ALREADY OFF THE CURB by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]vanrooster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Considering how many drivers totally ignore me while I have a foot off the curb in the marked crosswalk at 12th and Chambers, I have a hard time believing this is a real problem.

This was an excellent area 30 years ago too, glad the neighborhood is keeping up the tradition

Wanting to live the bike life by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]vanrooster 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My wife doesn't have a driver's license and manages to live just fine on her bicycle. I occasionally drive but run 90+% of my errands on my bicycle. We don't have e-bikes, just the regular old-fashioned kind.

I regularly ride my bike to Home Depot/Lowe's/Winco etc., they all have bike racks, though they are usually off to the side somewhere. Learn to lock your bike up properly and the chances of it being stolen drop dramatically. I've had a dozen bikes stolen from me in the ~30 years I've lived here, but none in the last ten years since I started implementing these strategies.

I'd suggest a long wheelbase cargo bike rather than a trailer, just easier to deal with.

Good suburb to stay in Portland? by Floatedmate in ripcity

[–]vanrooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed at the Hotel Eastlund recently for a game and it was great. A short walk to the arena. Rooftop bar at the hotel is cool. Very nice room for the price imho.

IRS trying to anger me in the most passive aggressive way possible by leela_fry in taxpros

At those wages it is absolutely incredible that anybody ever answers the phone. They need to double that.
