    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    I have a universal plug from Bentley that plugs in anywhere I’ve been, including GB, Italy, Kenya and Tanzania. It outputs 2 usb A and 1 usb c as well as a universal power outlet, but doesn’t convert from 220. Wife got the same one somewhere else. You might be able to find one cheaper...

    Need suggestions for a high-end laptop

    If your previous laptop was a touchscreen, then I’d look for another, and have it able to fold in half. I went from a crappy entry level touchscreen to a gaming computer a year or two ago and I really miss the touchscreen features.

    Optimum No Rinse Stock

    I’ll probably wash mine before I put it away for the winter; otherwise, that’s what rain is for.

    Chain lubricant

    Right now I’m kind of doing the opposite of Lightcycle. I’m using either new or used engine oil and an old rag; preferably over a piece of cardboard. On an old bike, I did no chain cleaning/lubing and some of the links froze, which causes issues.

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    I used to live 8 km from work. It would take 8 minutes door to door and 12 to cross the city. Then we tore down the Gardiner. It went to half an hour or more. Since they’ve reduced the lanes from three to two near Marilyn Bell Park, it’s closer to an hour, even at 06:30. I rode my bicycle...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    6:30 am and the Gardiner is jammed from High Park on. Once you get past Jarvis everyone’s doing a buck twenty. Boggles the mind. How do councillors/mayors get reelected?

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    If you do it right only one vehicle merges in front of you right where the lane ends. It goes sideways when Good Samaritan lets everyone and his brothers and sisters in before they get anywhere near the merge point. I find the difficult part is discouraging people from merging early. Some get...

    Cycle Mafia scores a win!

    I’m curious as to how the burden of proof worked in this constitutional case. Cyclists don’t have to prove how taking public transit will be more dangerous, but the government has to prove that removing cycling lanes will improve gridlock. Isn’t the onus usually upon the people making the...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    In Ottawa suburbs, they put them in 40 zones that once were 80 zones. Dead straight with a clear view ahead, always aimed at the downhill side. The person/company with the contract is fortunate.

    What's your most neglected maintenance item on your motorcycle?

    Used to be chain, until mine got some frozen links on a ride to Alabama.

    Couldn't get a boost to save my life

    Oof, I’m in Kenya at the moment. Texted some friends, who might be there and might get the text.

    Africa

    We’re doing two weeks and the itinerary is all set. I think it’s with National Geographic. Wife seems worried about pickpockets and robberies. I’m not sure where she got that from.

    Africa

    Going to do a couple of safaris in Africa. Should be interesting in Kenya and Tanzania. Anyone been yet? It’s good to get around and see other people, places and cultures. Though, this one, like Galapagos, is more for the wildlife.

    A small cover to keep dew off of the seat.
