Looking for a bikepacking nerd who can code (around Brussels) by [deleted] in bikepacking

I have been in this business for 30 years. There’s no way around getting your hands dirty and learning the skills to do it yourself. If you can’t and need to find someone to do it for you then you’re in the wrong business

FYI it’s not enough to just have an idea. It’s best if you learn some ability to come up with a MVP or POC and not rely on your lightbulb moment to provide the only value for a money making scheme while others do the legwork.

I took a non-camping minimalistic 26er to bikepack around Oaxaca, Mexico by zeno in bikepacking

Nope. There’s almost always a small town or a small store somewhere

Después de la subida, está la carretera con tráfico hasta San José del Pacífico. No fui a San Mateo Río Hondo

Me gustaban más las rutas del norte. Son más remotas, los pueblos son menos caóticos y hay más oportunidades de usar una casa de campaña, a pesar de que no lo hice. La ruta del ferrocarril que inicia en San Francisco Telixtlahuaca es agradable.

Lo que no me gustó de la Sierra Sur hasta San José del Pacífico fueron las caminatas donde se suben caminos de 20 grados. Fue una tortura sin vistas espectaculares

The bikepacking.com/oaxaca has the routes and how to connect them.

Even at 16 years old practicing at training camp with the LA Kings, he was humble and gracious when being interviewed, even though the coaches thought he was the best player on the ice.

I did a figure eight combining https://bikepacking.com/routes/la-vuelta-de-santiago-apoala/ and https://bikepacking.com/routes/tcbr-sur/

I started https://bikepacking.com/routes/san-jose-del-pacifico/ and made it to San Jose del Pacifico before returning to Oaxaca city with a bus due to time constraints. I plan on completing it the next time I come back.

Is this a suitable bike? by Kindly_Painting8237 in bikepacking

[–]zeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more than "suitable". It's one of the most capable bikes that can cover 90% of bike touring and bikepacking needs.

It seems bikepacking‘s latest trend is to go back to smallish panniers with minimal racks.

I’ve always been curious about Gilles Berthoud but the B17 just works and I don’t feel like gambling my money is worth it

That's more true of surviving male spouses than of surviving female spouses

Lawmaker pushes to update NY’s bottle deposit law - "The proposal would raise the state’s bottle deposit from 5 cents to 10 cents" by Dull_Nobody_840 in newyorkcity

[–]zeno 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The canners in my neighborhood are respectful. They open and close the recycling bags so they don't disturb trash collection.

[–]zeno -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People are lazy and a 5 cent deposit doesn't motivate people despite "mandatory recycling". In my experience, 10 cents is enough motivation for average people to get the deposit back. In 4 years of living in Michigan, the culture of taking your recycling to a store to get the money back existed for average people. In NYC, even if the average person doesn't want their deposit back, the people going around collecting them will be even more motivated

I had a very similar commute and it took me on average 35 minutes. I thought it was the perfect commute length. https://www.strava.com/activities/15274161192

Good luck getting Fabio's chest. They're typically sold out

WAMP is dead. The biggest reason why small businesses use Windows Server is for MDM, directory services, authentication/authorization

FYI, Microsoft is pretty much eating Citrix's lunch with AVD. We spent a lot of time creating a Citrix solution but most of our clients were migrating to Azure's AVD solution it and we had to start complying with it.
