One of these has been about to happen in Olympic park for years now, in the carpark beside the BMX track. nothing concrete, just an article every now and then. I don't see how it could be viable on its own.

do those US prices include sales tax? a lot of times it doesn't as the tax is different in every state, and sometimes even within a state.

hybrid bike was shifting poorly on the way home so decided to tweak that. then somehow I ended up getting gears right, changing rear brake cable and changing front brake pads. LTIL - wrenching my own bike and having the bits in stock LTIH - cutting cables with crap snips, and so far every one I...

Guy in the gym combining shoulder raises with what looked like line dancing. Whatever it was he was enjoying hinself

Warning said turn off engine and check coolant. Last night when that came on the trmp guage qas maybe 1/3 of the way between its normal position and the red line. The worksheet says perform recall notice xyz, replace heater element and test plan ok. I'm guessing they didnt clamp a hose but i...

Well thats gone well. Same warning on startup today, its empty again and a puddle underneath plus whatever is in the catch tray. Who knows what they didnt tighten or attach at all. Thankfully the charge commuter still got me out to the gym to work it off.. Ol faithful, except the time the chain...

starting to really hate intersections with more than one turn lane, so many muppets who cant keep in their lane. had a van decide both lanes were his yesterday, then tried to claim I ran into his lane. should add context: just left hospital with news the cancer markers are lowest ever and back...

lovely winters day here, rode in to school with the kid, stoped in the park to kick a footie on the way. get to school and there is 1 other bike in the rack, and that was one abandoned there last year. 900 kids all within 4km, most within 1. bike paths to the back gate, but everyone wants to...
