  • I use in ear Bluetooth headphones when cycling. In Europe. Maybe in America you have to worry about hearing the sound of cars, it doesn’t really seem like a huge issue to me. Drivers can’t hear shit and it’s fine for them, same for me, I can hear enough to know what’s happening around me. I’m not cycling for hours with nothing to listen to.

    Anyway, I would just not bother calling someone if I was moving, especially if I only had 60€ to spend. Pull over if it’s urgent to speak








  • If it was my bike I’d be riding that to see. It looks fine to me, if it didn’t feel weird after a test ride I’d be leaving it as is.

    If the tyre is super tight, you can leave it out in the sun for a while to soften it up a little, and I’d suggest getting a tyre boot to help with that final bit of bead. They’re super cheap and removes some misery if you find a particularly tight wheel rim vs bead combo

    I don’t think Roger Taylor would agree with you that he has been “used” by Queen. He has written some of their biggest songs and is a great singer too! I have so much respect for Queen even if I don’t like all their music, just 4 guys banging out classics all day long, no backing tracks or hidden young people filling out the sound. Late 80s stadium Queen is just so powerful - strongly recommend watching their live in Montreal concert film, it’s so impressive.

    I agree the Beatles are overrated though, I’ve never understood the sheer number of people even today who think they’re peak. They’ve got some good tunes but yeah… snooze!
