I would agree. I spent a lot of time working closely with my bike shop working on fit. Many sessions over a couple years learning things about fit that you don't really notice until after your first really long ride.

Thank you so much, that’s extremely helpful. Can I ask where you’re from and if you returned there or went somewhere else after Germany? My wife and I are American but we’re in the UK now, just to see how we like it before committing to a p

I did Paris Brest Paris in 2019 (finished in 89 hours) and got Sherman’s neck for the very end. I saw other riders suffering from it, and one woman who had put her hair in a long braid and then fastened that somehow to hold up her head. Luc

Is it possible to see the full list with explanations and not just the summary of the top / bottom five? UK is listed as 37 and I’d love to know why.

Note that this article is about the UK. It discusses your point in part 3 and goes on to discuss an alternative solution at the end. There are complex laws as almost all of the land is privately owned by either private citizens or the crown

What this might look like: the interviewer starts the call and says “good morning, how are you?”. OP answers with “Nervous! I’m not great at talking over the phone instead of in person.” There have been a few times when, post interviews, I’

Even The Guardian couldn't help but link to the TikTok channel, point out when it was posted so you could find it easier, and post a screenshot of the video with the woman in it even though it's an article all about how she didn&#

That stat is shared among parents so much. "840,000 missing a year" in a nation of 73 million children is interpreted as meaning in any given year you have a 1 in 87 chance of never seeing your child again at any given time. My br

I do Xamarin (Microsoft's iOS / Android framework) and the listings often throw in Swift / Java / Kotlin. Sometime's they'll throw in React Native and Flutter even if they don't use them. The Xamarin world

I think the important thing is to be consistent. I worked with a microservice system for years (as a front end engineer) where some teams would use 404 to indicate record not found, some teams would use your system, and a couple teams sent

I also want to see a Cloudflare post-mortem here. All of my domains are with them. The worse part of OP's story is that they even prevented him from moving the domains to another registar. So if this happens to any of us we're com

I was setting up an account for my child and it insisted on knowing their first job as one of the security questions. I normally put PIN-type responses to these and record them somewhere, but it said that wasn’t a valid answer. So many of t

I disagree. The bike computer is more rugged and I’m much more comfortable mounting it on handlebars. It’s a better size then even my iPhone Mini. As the other commented said, the battery life is much better then a phone, and it’s trivial t

The worst, by far, is Camping World / Good Sam. It’s just amazing how they are willing to sell my email to anyone and everyone. My local branch has a good service department though so I just setup a filter and keep going back.

The intro course in Headspace is amazing. I had to experience with meditation and Andy really explained it well. It completely changed what I thought meditation was. But then, afterwards, he made it so simple I didn’t need the app at all. Y

This is why I do it. If I can figure it out quickly or via a Stack overflow search, great. If I get stuck for 2 days before solving it then I’ll blog about it. Maybe one person will read it and my 5 minutes of writing a blog post will save

I’m also here from RSS. I read Reddit the same way. I follow just 5 or 6 subreddits and don’t have to worry about falling into the trap of endless scroll in an app.

Welcome to Atlanta. There isn't an easy way to get from Gwinnett to Alpharetta. I did try it via bicycle, and it did take about the same amount of time. But the streets here are vary narrow and southern hospitality ends when you get in

This happened to me. The interview process went well but the company's closest office was 15 miles from me, which in Atlanta traffic is over an hour. I said I would need to be remote, they wanted me in the office full time. We were usi

I love one click checkout. Amazon is okay, and I've used it a few times on sites that support it. But if a site has one click Apple checkout it makes it so much easier. I don't have to worry about them having my credit card info,

That actually helps, thank you. A lot of my meetings lately are non-video so I could easily take those while walking. I'm working on moving into a city. The plan is to get rid of the car and I think that'll make a huge improvement
