  • Yeah there is that too, would need a lot of freezer tubs. I also don’t have space for a microwave to reheat them. Some stuff could go in the air fryer, or a saucepan.

    My partner really doesn’t like eating stuff that has been frozen though. I think she gets it from her parents, they are really funny about it for some reason. They appear to think “best before” means “toxic after”.

    But I don’t want a driving license. Also just looked it up and interestingly while it can be illegal its not like it is in a car. In a car there is a specific blood alcohol limit and that doesn’t exist for cycling. They need to show you are unfit to ride. So I guess if you are not swerving all over the place.

    Then again, they would provably use the same test result if they did test you. I wonder if you can just refuse to provide a sample… Its illegal not to with a car, but unsure if that still applies with a bike.

    Same in the UK apparently. Don’t need a drivers license for my bike so go ahead and take it I guess?

    I remember at school they used it as a threat before, the fact that we could get points on our license before we even had one for stuff on a bike. I laughed in too poor to learn to drive.

    Don’t know about too much, but more than necessary perhaps. Mine was £600, probably didn’t need to go that expensive but I use it a lot so its hardly a bad choice either.

    Then again, got over £200 in accessories with just the ortlieb XL pannier bags. I cycle to work every day, so arguably its pretty easy to justify spending a fair bit. If I took the bus that would cost over £1k a year. So even that €1.5k bike is fairly easy to justify compared to bus prices if you want a decent bike.

    I usually look up how to maintain bits on my bike as they become necessary rather than all in one go. Same with buying tools for it.

    First get a few cleaning bits. Then a few tools to split a chain and some quick links along with the tool to connect/disconnect quick links. Tools to fix an inner tube puncture. Disc brake bleeding kit and mineral oil.

    Tempted to get a proper disc brake alignment tool, pretty cheap but last time I just cut a shim from a cider can and placed those either side of the rotor.
