Me having 400mg of ibuprofen and 3 coffees for breakfast for the 20th day in a row: "I wonder why my stomach has been upset lately"

That and cracking down Deliveroo and Uber Eats would probably be like 80% of them heh.

Travis and Sigrid @sigirides.bsky.social · 20h

You'd think there would be some sort of trading authority that would crack down on this kind of stuff.

The last e-bike I had for review, which I've sold, was actually 250 watt, but had pedal assist up to 20mph. Outside of the major brands I'm not sure there are too many legal e-bikes around lol.

Yup! They have a 2400 watt e-scooter that can do 45 mph too. 😂 I told them I'd be up for either, let's see if they actually send me anything.

Got offered an e-bike by a British company today (ie, .co.uk website and +44 phone number), in exchange for a review video. 500 watts, 22 mph, up to 56km range using only the throttle. The delivery rider special!

Finally found a good reason to wear a bike helmet. 😅

Is Sigrid the first cat to visit Jeremy Clarkson's pub, @thefarmersdogpub? Very nice but, in Sigrid's opinion, far too many dogs! 🐱

If you haven't seen Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime, it's a lovely show and well worth a watch. Season 4 largely focuses on the opening of the pub.

Yeah he tried to squeeze me out so I rode over a drain, poor Sig.

Travis and Sigrid @sigirides.bsky.social · 2d

Did this ride yesterday. Nothing crazy, I'd call it easy compared to the rides we did during our cross country ride. But doing it on a fixie destroyed me. 😂 I don't think about it much, but being able to coast and shift gears makes things so much easier on long rides. I'm struggling today.

I am now a less courteous cyclist after having read this article.

Travis and Sigrid @sigirides.bsky.social · 3d

The fact that the Oxford Tube is so good is a pretty harsh critique of British trains. 🧐

Always time to spare a smile for Sigrid, even during an emergency. 🐱🚑

Sadly most liberals are of the neo variety these days.

Some sad news about a fellow cat dad. 😿

Maybe not a popular viewpoint, but I find this kind of behavior a bit annoying. They started their manoeuvre before you showed up, just let them finish.

One time the company I worked for asked for X years experience with a programming language that had existed for less than X years. Director of Engineering: "We want people motivated enough to say have the experience even if they don't."

Yeah if that gray car at 1:15 turned left things may have gotten messy.
