A $400 Crappy Tire bike is nowhere close to being the same as even just a $2k bike though? The $400 CT special will be heavy, numb, and rides like a wad of wet noodles. Certainly you must know that?

With weight, in particular, it should be pretty obvious even to a novice rider. The frame stiffness and responsiveness bits are at least more subtle.
As an aside, the old man in me often reminds me of how running is bad for my ankles, knees, and hips, esp my knees. No amount of high dollar shoes will be able to save me from that. :(

Dats why best bike is e bike. I ride one to the gym everyday and it takes zero effort.

i hate running!!!! during covid gym shut downs i started to go out on jogs, then runs, then sprints at the track, that lead to a torn acl :okay:

fixed

Hopefully I dont run into any issues out of the ordinary, the plans they currently offer already have US data included. This plan is getting comped by work, so if I can get US data out of it for free, I can pair it with my paid Fido plan and don't have to worry about roaming fees anymore.

Well of course not at langara ! Heavens forbid.

The snobby fuckers are those that go to those private clubs that are invite only.

Anyone a part of royal Vancouver yacht club here ?! You want elitism.. try that club of douchebags. I got a free membership I think through the shipping federation and I still refuse to go to any of their events.

What do you guys use to get splattered bugs off your cars? We hit some juicy ones on the Coq this week.

For regular bugs from driving on the highway, I just use a microfiber and spray some ONR diluted to 16:1.

I just bought some Seafoam Bug Off. I'll try it out tonight and let you know if it works. :lol

I just power wash it off lol

I use Adam’s graphene detailer spray. If I don’t have it I’ll just use baby wipes to at least get most it off or worse case scenario just get a Chinese old lady to spit on it.

Holy WTF! :lol

Are you saying U want old Chinese lady to give you the hawk tuah?

Funny how that was the exact thing I was thinking of LOL~

I still can’t believe the old bitch just threw up her hands and walked away like waddya gonna do ?

did you narc on her grandson or something?

She stepped out from that Neptune Chinese restaurant and started spitting. Dim sum no goooddddd I guess ?

Either way when our women turn into old ladies they are brutal. You think white karens have an attitude problem ? Chinese old ladies don’t give a fuck about anything.

I can’t wait for spy balloon to hit menopause and starting fights at foodie world

That was fun, power out from 5:30pm to now.

how long are u guys going between washes that u need a dedicated product for bugs?

Household ammonia in a spray bottle. Leave it for a minute then remove

Tire soap does the same trick. One time, this lesbo brought her old white impreza in, covered in moss, so we washed it with tire soap :lol

Update on the Seafoam Bugs Be Gone.

It's essentially a very concentrated soap. You spray it on, let it soak for a minute to a minute and a half, spray if off with a hose, and wipe it off. It worked, but the stubborn bugs stuck on will require some extra effort. I'll need to clay bar and detail my car given all the dirt and grime stuck on it.

Usually months cause I barely drive, but it's only when I drive the Coq/Connector that I have to deal with bugs and half of them have been baking on there for a few days before I maoe the return trip. There were lots of big ones, the kind you can actually hear hitting the windshield and leave massive smears of guts.

This time I was able to get on it right away so a pressure washer + microfiber with lots of soap got most of the goo off.

i just claybarred and waxed the gf's car the other day in 29C weather lol (yes, she helped out). turned out great though of course and well worth the effort.

Spoony gettin some poony

exchanging one wax for another? :smug:

Wax on, whacks off
