A post-sunset view of the glenmore reservoir from rockyview hospital. The horizon is tinted orange
I was loving the sunset, so I scurried up to the hospital to get a better view
People are way too serious about their cars. I have had good results with a paint roller sprayed glossy fluorescent orange strapped to my rear rack. Drivers will force oncoming traffic to swerve rather than risk passing within 2 meters of the roller
I know AI sucks, but then sometimes I think it might have some useful analysis.
I asked Jetpack for AI feedback on an article and it provided it in Portuguese. While the feedback was relevant, and clearly based on my article, the article was in English, and I make no claims of Portuguese fluency.
My days off are sunday/monday, which may not coincide with everyone else. Matamy Greenway?
All the employees got laid off one day per week at a company where I worked, when we got reinstated, I was the only one to insist on staying at 30 hours. It was glorious.
Bike wheel, with a running shoe on the pedal and the quote says "it really helped with my mobility. I went out more often this summer."
Just a week until #givingtuesday Please consider #youthenroute and Give Freedom. Our quote today is from a student after they'd had a few months to enjoy their new skills and bike.

does he think the under 12 are driving transit vehicles, or is he drunk?
a customer left a negative review for my customer service when I suggested a fire extinguisher for his “totally legitimate brand” of bike. Also had a 180mm travel fat suspension fork with 146mm qr spacing and 1”steerer tube, so I should also have recommended a dentist www.cpsc.gov/Warnings/202...
A hobo looking dude (another one, not me) took care of those easily-moved barriers today on 15 ave SW
Customer today: “I’ve been working with chatgpt on this for over 2 hours, and you fixed it in 3 minutes, that’s amazing!”
Chatgpt hasn’t ever ridden a bike, I amn’t surprised it can’t fix one
Kid had knee surgery today, it involved fewer woodworking tools than anticipated. Surgeon told kid that he had Wolverine-like healing abilities
Bike (In)Decision For SRMR
What Kind of bike do you recommend for these events? There are a number of bike options that would all be solid choices for these races. There are few extremely technical sections, but you will benefit from wider tyres, flat bars and mountain bike geometry on the rougher…
I’ve had five minute commutes and hour and a half commutes, and yeah, this completely checks out.
Your discussion of the section on saddle sores is the best though.
When I first read the book (in maybe 1984?) I failed miserably at analytical thinking and I let myself be influenced by it for way too many years
I have a trickle charger in my van to keep the battery from dying when the van is parked for more than a month. The money I save by not driving can buy a really nice e-bike every year.
People will even buy something so they can get an invite to review. many assume that bike shops are required to service anything they bring that even vaguely resembles a bike. I’ve seen e-scooters, one-wheel things, e-skateboards, and more just in the last month. We don’t fix them, even if you yell
Imagine if you were to come across a hub motor wheel with 141 mm 14mm bolt-on hub. Or a fork with 135mm bolt-on spacing with front disc spacing, and not a 9 or 10mm axle, where would you find replacement parts?
I get a lot of bad reviews from rad owners who are upset that we won't service their "reputable brand" "bike"
As long as there is still a line of paint to protect me from now faster people in cars, I will know that the city is committed to protecting the cars from getting scratched
Yes, the customer who arrived 5minutes after closing today did just want a cable cut. But wanted it cut longer
Go ahead and have a cutoff temperature (not that windchill bullshit, it works differently on bikes) or amount of fresh snow.
If your goal is to be a hero, you wont be, but if your goal is to have fun and save money, then put some pogies and studded tires on, and discover your new season
Much as I thought about using it as a protest vote, the remote chance of 4 years of his comedy show was too much to bear.
So cute!
My dyslexia makes these very hard to drive, but I would love to have options like this. All I want is room for 4 people and 4 bikes I don’t need to go 150km/h or monster-truck over other people’s cars

My copy arrived today, I am more than a lot stoked
Hopefully we don't have to be enemies if I'm on team owl
I’m still reeling from this article. The whole thing is utterly insane. Are people seeing this? Why does it feel like there are never enough eyes on stories like this? Even Sweden’s Foreign Ministry is treating her account as merely “allegations.” www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

While I do own some fancy-pants bikes, I agree that they are not what is necessary for bikepacking
