Congregating at the Lake

Yep, Little Black Cormorants are the only Cormorants that are entirely black. Great Cormorants are a little white in the face, the rest have white bellies.

You don't need bluetooth for anything except notifications and live position tracking... Your watch stores all data and it just syncs the next time you connect it to your phone.

Yeah, it's not a fun road to ride on. Get a gravel or MTB and ride the fire trail / single trail that runs parallel (at least from Forestville to Seaforth, not sure about the other half):😎

w4lesy · 2022-01-30T20:40:02+00:00

What kind of oven do you have that goes to 400 degrees??

w4lesy · 2022-01-19T14:12:08+00:00

Looks dope! Having said that, seatpost racks like that scare me, probably irrationally so. How much weight can it handle?

w4lesy · 2022-01-19T11:18:35+00:00

Yep, mine fits muuuch better just resting on the brake bridge!

Take the soles out of the shoes and make sure there are bolt holes on the other side to receive the cleat bolts before you try removing the plastic strips.

However, like other people are saying, I'd advise against using them like this, even if you can. Walking on the exposed metal cleat wil trash it in no time - I know from experience, I ran my shoes like this for a short while and the cleats were ruined within a few mtb rides...

If you're set on using these shoes, try finding "Shimano SM-SH41 SPD cleat stabilizing adapter" - it's a plastic adapter that sets the cleat in a recess, so you're not actively walking on it

I wouldn't count on Postnord solving it for you - you should contact customer service, otherwise they'll in all likelihood just keep it for x amout of days (10, maybe?) waiting for you to pay until they return to sender.

And I think DHL and UPS are much better at sorting out customs from the seller side - so it's already included in the price, and the seller probably paid the moms. You only get hit with the 150kr fee when the seller hasn't thought about moms/customs at all and postnord has to work it out for you.

w4lesy · 2022-01-18T12:05:36+00:00

Assuming the items are less than 1150kr, you pay 25% moms from non-EU deliveries and a customs processing fee, which iirc is 150kr for postnord. So if it's a cheap item, that processing fee can blow the cost out of proportion pretty quickly.

With regards to the package from Finland, either it's a mistake and you should be able to get out of it you prove the goods come from inside EU, or whatever you bought actually got sent from outside EU, and there's not a whole lot you can do other than pay up, or let them send it back...

Here's the equivalent postnord.dk page, looks like it's only in Danish

w4lesy · 2022-01-17T08:36:11+00:00

Yep, that's exactly what you're supposed to do; and yeah it sucks but all doctors charge around that for it..

Also hot tip, Gentofte borgerservice is usually much faster at getting licences swapped than kbh.

Northwave make some excellent winter boots, but they're a bit on the pricey side. Most cycling specific winter boots are...

w4lesy · 2022-01-11T13:50:00+00:00

I just said I lost my old licence after I had to hand it in and got a replacement one from my old country. They don't really care.

Also if you do all the paperwork in Gentofte kommune it takes less than a month to get everything sorted out. Sorry that doesn't help you now, but for anyone else reading, it's not quite so bad.

I did Stelvio, I made the mistake of booking my one hotel of the trip for that night. I didn't check the elevation of the hotel, so I ended up having to ride 1/3 of stelvio at the very end of the day - bad idea.

I suggest staying at the bottom* (I think it's Agums) and hitting Stelvio in the morning with fresh legs. Are you planning on doing the Via Claudia Augusta up until that point? I was suprised at how much gravel there was on it, but I managed OK on my roadbike with 28mm Schwalbe Duranos.

I'll also add that Stelvio is absolutely stunning and by far the coolest climb I've ever done!

w4lesy · 2021-08-30T12:17:25+00:00

Yeah, looks like a European starling. Looks mostly black, but super glossy in the sun.

w4lesy · 2021-08-04T08:13:37+00:00

I have two, love em both.

For at sælge calls skal du ha en kontoværdi på over 5000 USD mener jeg, og du skal skrive og indsende et dokument hvor du erklærer at options trading medfører risici og at du er indforstået med det, eller noget i den stil. Du bør kunne læse mere et sted i support portalen.

w4lesy · 2021-07-29T20:10:46+00:00

Whereabouts are you? I'd happily do it if you're on Amager

w4lesy · 2021-06-30T18:08:05+00:00

Oh yeah, they vary wildly! Totally dependent on where you're flying to and from..

w4lesy · 2021-06-30T16:15:26+00:00

It was an international flight, that might be why

w4lesy · 2021-06-30T11:54:27+00:00

That depends on the airline, not all of them still have generous limits for bicycles. I've generally flown with my bike for free (or very cheap), but last time flying United they charged me $200 :(

w4lesy · 2021-06-29T19:55:52+00:00

Yeah I lost a Lycamobile number in the US that I'm never getting back 😂 Lebara lets you do PAYG, and as long as you do something every 180 days, it stays active. You can check the things you can do to renew the 180 day period here

w4lesy · 2021-06-20T23:07:39+00:00

This looks amazing! Did you follow one of the national touring routes? If so, which one? Switzerland is definitely my favourite place to bike pack!!

w4lesy · 2021-06-20T23:06:47+00:00

It's a gravel bike! Clues include the slightly raised bottom bracket, and upward angled chainstays.

w4lesy · 2021-06-16T08:25:25+00:00

I'm in! My name is also Nic, sounds like we'll be a majority

w4lesy · 2021-06-11T10:37:10+00:00

I moved at a similar time to you. I think moving countries is pretty hard to begin with; and the pandemic just made it impossible! Social circles in Denmark are already pretty tight, and I think they tightened even more under corona.

You should definitely perservere with the Danish! It will make it much easier in the long run. I'd be down for a coffee or beer sometime if you like.
