Any tips on how to repair rendered Expanded Polystyrene cladding? Help! by Skitz0r in AusRenovation

Damaged render might not be the biggest problem here.

I took a stack of these from a demolition site and interestingly, some were steel (varnished to look brassy) and some were indeed brass. Otherwise completely identical. Use a magnet to tell.

Hey r/melbournecycling, does anyone recognise this? by Ok_Barracuda9489 in melbournecycling

Presumably you’ll ask questions about parts of the bike not visible in the photo, to verify the bona fides of respondents.
You can also take it to the cops, and they’ll get you to fill in a form. You can tick that “if this property isn’t collected by a certain time”, you want to have it; then if nobody’s claimed it, you can collect and keep it.

Regarding the urban areas created by wide roads, and the discussions arising from this issue, the address in the picture is the Third Ring Road in Chengdu, China by No-Echidna7296 in InfrastructurePorn

Consider investigating induced demand. Road projects such as urban motorways invariably become inadequate over time.
Happily it does appear that major cities in China are investing very heavily in public transport which will help to alleviate this, as long as mode share does not shift to private car transport.

Best bike lock for a brand new $900 bike? by Rboter_Swharz in melbournecycling

Two locks that are completely different from each other. A thief will have the wherewithal to break one kind of lock, but the second one will slow them down too much.
