$1000 Canadian is a bit of an ouch, though.

If I catch their eye and I know they’re actually seeing me, that’s about the only time.
I try to make eye contact, especially where multi-use paths venture into intersections on a cross ride, because people ALWAYS drive right into the cross ride as they “stop” for their turn. But I’m finding more and more that the tint on many vehicles makes it impossible to even see if the driver is looking at you. So, I’m often forced to stop waiting for them to stop, just so I can continue with my right of way. Incredibly frustrating, but you’ve gotta stay alive.
For sure. I’m only saying that the advantage we all seek really only applies when others are paying attention.
When I’m driving or cycling, I can see cyclists that are hundreds of meters away. Yet, a cyclist less than 10m from a motorist at an intersection is suddenly unseeable? No, someone was distracted or impaired while at the wheel.
Lights at night.
I completely agree, but this still doesn’t fix the problem of motorists “not seeing you” when they are looking down at their phone.
I’ve nearly been hit a few times by turning cars… while wearing high-viz and reflective clothing… riding a bike that’s high-viz… riding on tires that have reflective sidewalls… while using a flashing front light, a solid front light… equipped with a flashing rear light… and riding in a slow, predictable way.
Being visible only works on those who are paying attention around you, and these days that means fewer and fewer people.
In the RC car world, I’ve heard of people having their workshop go into flames from batteries that were simply in storage… not charging or anything.
I keep mine (RC car batteries) in a special, fireproof box when they are not in use, and also charge them in that box (as it’s designed to be).
Not an easy way to do with this larger, e-bike batteries, especially when those batteries are built into the frame of the vehicle (some e-bikes and pretty much all e-scooters).
I guess anything is possible, but you are right that most of the time, there is a reason.
Realistically, the EV/e-bike industries will destroy themselves if they can’t come up with safer battery tech that won’t kill your entire family.
At some point, everyone will have multiple e-vehicles in their home, office, or parked in an underground/above ground parking garage.
If something isn’t done fast, these cases of fires will be so common that people will accept them as “normal”.
The maximum range is stated as 50 kilometers, although this can only be achieved under optimal conditions.
“Long range” has different meanings to everyone.
What is the use case for PayPal in the US?
It gives businesses a very easy to way to set up monthly payments, one-time donations, accept forms of payments other than e-transfer (which many people don’t want to use), allows for international purchases without being penalized, and more.
Other options are available, but they are neither easy/cheap/convenient for the business or any better for the customer.
Absolutely!
And I’ve had companies offer me a discount on product, rather than a full refund or replacement. I always refuse and state how disappointed I am. They pretty much always follow up with a full refund or new product.
Hell, I even ordered an indoor spin bike, complained that it used non-standard crank arms, and they refunded me $100 to replace the crank arms and pedals! Just for stating that I was unhappy with one aspect of an otherwise great purchase.
I’ve had Amazon listings where the title, description, specs on the box, specs on the product, and the reviews ALL had different information.
Who creates these listings? AI?
That said, I strongly encourage anyone who shops on Amazon to complain about issues in your reviews, and contact the seller if ANYTHING is wrong with your product. I have a 99% success rate of getting replacements or a full refund while doing this (resulting in basically a free product), even if the issue is cosmetic or a personal dislike. Just be honest.
A.K.A. “being a new parent.” 😂
Except that new parents go through way more than five days of that. 😞
Maybe that’s why you don’t have problems with most of sites from Europe?!?
That’s an interesting observation. I’m not sure, since I’m in Canada.
I use FF as my primary browser on my desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.
As much as I love and support FF and the Mozilla Foundation, I find that some websites simply need a Chromium-based browser to function properly. It’s frustrating as hell.
I wonder how many people tried FF, had their favourite site stop working, and then switched back to Chrome.
From the article:
“He says some of the first-generation motors had experienced problems caused by water, but later models had been enhanced with improved seals and bearings.”
I wonder if these owners simply kept getting gen 1 motors, or whether Bosch is just lying. LOL
I was going to blame it on cheap motors from unknown manufacturers, but this is Bosch. They have the most expensive, “premium” motors around.
That’s pretty bad if they can’t even handle being outdoors… on bikes designed for outdoors.
Male cardinals feed females when courting them and again when the female is incubating and can’t forage for herself.
What a gentleman! 😁
Question: Was the male giving the female seed?
I ask because my birdfeeder camera often captures our male feeding his mate, and I was puzzled when I first saw it. Is this normal behaviour?
As crazy as it seems that some people today take the bible as literal truth, it’s been revised, edited, and modified so often that you’d never know which version is “right”. LOL
She had a past medical history of insomnia and irritable bowel syndrome and was currently being treated with vitamin D3, vitamin K, manganese and activated charcoal.
She was either self-treating, following the suggestions of an internet “doctor”, or taking medical advice from a chiropractor 😂
Note, irritable bowel syndrome isn’t the same as inflammatory bowel disease (I.e. Crohn’s). And IBD isn’t treated with pepto bismal, either. 💁♂️
We describe the case of a 44-year-old woman treated with bismuth subsalicylate for about 20 years, who developed abnormal behaviour and postural instability in two weeks.
What the actual hell???
For those who don’t know, “bismuth subsalicylate” is commonly sold as Pepto Bismol. The directions say to stop use if your problems persist for more than two days! Taking it for two decades is insane!
Downfall? LOL
Brompton has a multi-decade reputation with a legendary reputation, even with non-cyclists.
Who the hell is “Flit”?
