I'm looking at the trails near home to see if I can make the most if its mountain bike DNA to get to work faster

I think it's the best use case for an ebike. The step through frame makes it comfortable to use and the mid-drive has a bit more power than a hub motor

I finally bit the bullet and got an ebike. Velectrix Adventurer. It's pretty much a step through mountain bike, so it has front suspension, dropper post, fat tyres, and a stronger motor.

It also comes with mud guards, a rack, and integrated lights wired to the battery. Plus it has hydraulic brakes, which feels like the necessary minimum for an ebike.

There are higher spec bikes out there, but this is all I need for a 15km trip to work that I'll do a few days a week in between regular bike rides.

I could have gone even more basic with the Velectrix Brunswick, but I thought my girlfriend could ride this one because of the frame and dropper post. It seems a little big, but I'd like to get her on there

I hope you feel better. And it's good she was so understanding

I actually booked tickets to a burlesque variety show so we'll be getting a lot of that on the night

I've been meaning to share I really like the windchime I bought over a year ago. I got a good one from Rivers of Yarrambat and it has been great. It sounds nice, opening the door to the backyard fills the room with a nice sound, and it hasn't shown a sign of wear in that whole time.

I think placement makes a big difference, I lucked out putting it somewhere it doesn't cop too much wind, so most days it gives a nice ambient sound without going wild.

Any chili oil stuff that's from a smaller brand tends to be good. I picked up some stuff from a Mrs C's Chili Oil and it has been great. It's perfectly balanced where I know how much to add for a kick or massive spice

I'm sure I'll be able to tie the solstice into it somewhat. I also want to get ahead of things early in the unlikely event she's planning something as well.

I'll wait until we hit June then tell her I've already got plans. She can find out what they are closer to the date.

Going off that emoji I think we'll be celebrating in similar ways.

I think I'll drink too much beer and get stuck on the first boss, just like I did with the original Elden Ring.

Happy Nightreign day to those who celebrate. I know what I'm doing this evening

When they use memory foam and just conform to your head

Our Anniversary is towards the end of June and I've pretty much got the evening all planned. How long do you think I should wait before telling my girlfriend we have plans?

I wouldn't tell her what it is just get, but maybe just to be like 'keep your calendar clear on the 21st, I've got it all sorted.'

I bought one of those wifi powerpoint timers yesterday. I got it connected to the app but it doesn't seem to be working. Lets see if I can get it sorted or if it's going to become one of those Dad Moments where I'm at war with an obtuse piece of technology wrapped in plastic

I rode to work today, which meant I had to ride home. But weather like this is never as bad as it looks once you're out on the bike

I hope everything's alright, but sometimes you need a sook to get it out of your system

Thanks. That's the way to do it. Go to bed a little earlier and get used to that. I've been thinking I should just try lay down at 11

I've gotten myself into the habit of going to bed after 1. Even when I try to go to bed earlier I find myself faffing about and staying up until then. I need to try force myself to go to bed earlier and break the cycle

Does anyone know if there's anything to do around Craigieburn station? There's a bus near my place that goes straight to the station, but there's no reason to get off in between.

The boys love a bus ride but I need to fill in at least 20 minutes until the next bus

There are some episodes of the QAA podcast on the crossover between the wellness industry and conspiracy theories so this doesn't feel like a massive jump.

When people are already rejecting vaccines and science it's probably easier to sell them on eugenics
