A thing I notice more (esp at lights) is more and more social media scrolling. Cos you see the hands swiping down.

Not sure of your budget, but Omnium mini sounds like what you need. I'd say a Omnium Mini Max, though bigger would also be boat friendly.

Btw that link is not my bike or my sale.

Yeah it's really unfortunate. This is still a good, well specced machine with a good GPU. Obviously still a very capable and useful machine. But yeah, M1 chip / platform has changed everthing Mac wise, it's good in the long run in terms of power efficiency and performance.

But it's really changed the value/price of everything before it, and it really sucks in these situations where you want to sell old Intel hardware. I have the same era Macbook pro that i'm in the same pickle with.

I'd say yes.

Unfortunately Since Apple released the M1 chip, any imac or macbook with an Intel chip, even from 2019/2020 (let alone 2017) is mostly vastly inferior/slower & less efficient. For close to 1k you get more value and power from an M1 macbook or iMac, it sucks but that's how it is now. You'd probably get more luck with pricing it closer to £500

i'm interested in the Brooks saddle if sold separately? It's a c13 carved right?

Who u going with then 👀

Bag and basket sold

👀

What are its dimensions?

Yeah you got that right. They're "beliefs" Keep your fucking "beliefs" to yourself, they don't entitle you to disrespect and dehumanize fellow human beings. And they certainly don't protect you from being told to get in the fucking bin.

Ok, you got told to stop, but you continue to be a disrespectful prick. "i don't recognize xyz" "are terms i do allow" Who the fuck are you? jesus the sheer arrogance, you don't get to dictate this shit.

you may not understand new terms, but they are terms that the people in question are asking you to respect. But you won't cos you're an arsehole.

Those your wrong headed bigotry won't accept that it's possible to be biggoted against are not fucking words or concepts. They are human beings. You're a disrespecting and dehumanising fellow human beings. You're a fucking bigotted prick regardless of what you think of yourself.

Please @Velocio / mods get this dickhead out of here

We’re one of the few Living Wage bike shops in London, and on top of this team members get trade discounts, time and space to work on their own bikes and any other help we can offe

Big props for this and sorry the post got derailed a bit. Will spread the word about the job.

Anyways 〰︎ I'm not that articulate w explaining this stuff but this article is v good

Ha! i felt the and posted the same link 🥹😅😂

So that's a popular (and i guess basic legal) definition, which is what continues to cause the misguided "that's racist against white people" cos it describes racial prejudice (Which can exist for all racial groups and ethnicities) and that definition (because it's a largely a legal, linguistic one) was largely decided on by white people.

Racism is tied to power, who holds (and historicall held) power and who got to define race and racialise (and conquer) certain groups, as well as design and set in place structures and systems that disadvantage those racialised groups. IIRC it was Reni Eddo-Lodge put forward the equation of Racism = Prejudice + Power.

So racism is the attitudes, culture, designations, structures and systems that historically people in power (white people) put in place benefit themselves and exclude and disadvantage non white people.

I'd strongly recommend reading 'Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People about Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge. It's a really accessible, brisk read on this topic and i learned a lot from it.

also this is useful:

I assume that lefty, wokist bike shops that hate those poor under-represented white men will be extremist enough pay the london living wage.

"wokist" ... lol

I was taking bets with myself on how long it'll take for that chestnut to come out.

Mate, maybe look in the mirror and think about the problem inherent in your comment/ thought process. The problem is you assuming that just because a community is diverse / non-white/ religious/ is of African backgrounds will therefore automatically be entirely bigoted or prejudiced against trans on non-binary people. Your generalisation to an entire community is a bit gross, it flattens & dimisses the complexity and diversity of beliefs and opinions in a diverse community. How that's not offensive?

Oh and to your earlier comment, there's no such thing as reverse or anti-white racism. Sure, anti-white (and inter ethnicity) prejudice can & does exist. But that's not the same as racism

Hey i'm interested. Pm'd

Hello mate, I texted you about more detail. Thanks

Anyone have a Roam or Bolt V2 they're looking to sell? Need either asap this week

thanks

pm'd btw

Hey, how tall are you? what's the size/ fit of regular size for a tall person?

Ah thanks for all the replies. Good to feel soothing group rant! Yeah Maybe one way to cope is to start carrying a gopro recording more consistently and reporting it even if it goes nowhere.

Also I feel that the rise of EVs which are all automatic has made phone scrolling easier for more people and more prevalent, no shifting gears frees up hand to just have phone in it all the time.

I know we all hate driving texters/ phone users. But how does everyone cope with seeing it .. all the time, and the futility of any reporting.

Like i'm a courier, so i'm on the road, every day, full time, so i see it, a LOT, like minimum 7 or 8 a day, either texting or driving while looking down at phone scrolling social media.

It boils my blood, whether i ignore it or say something (which 50% of the time kicks off a shouting match which also boils my blood)

besides being potential victim to these fucks, how it makes me feel seeing it day in day it is actively bad for my blood pressure/ mental health.

Really beautiful frame, glws

bargain glws

better still
