It's a DeskCycle 2 - Got it used on ebay and would definitely recommend depending on budget (it cost a bit). The display came with an optional desk mount which is nice. Things seems well thought out and it actually has a heavy flywheel. Manual says it never needs serviced. I was gonna do a walking desk treadmill but I heard some of the people downstairs in our office complaining about how loud they are. I've also heard treadmills make it harder to type but this bike doesn't affect me. AND also I didn't want to have to have a pair of walking shoes at work (my bike commuting shoes aren't great for walking). But I would wager that walking could be a healthier passive working activity than biking (just because I'm still sitting down while I bike and still feel like I need to stand up every hour or so)
UnPassive
I'm just lightly pedaling - my office is cold so I actually still kept my hoodie on all day. Going for zone 2 or less :) Normally my hands get cold though and they haven't with the bike
I bike through the winter and one time they didn't plow the bike path and it snowed so much through the day that on my way home my boots were dipping into the snow. Should have worked from home but I have pride issues lol
Sazerac; raining here too
I built a new commuter bike and only had to go to the bike shop for help 3 times. It has a lot of gravel components so I took it to the smoothest mtb trail near me and I now know that under biking is pretty fun, but also super rough and slow. Gonna throw fenders and racks on tonight hopefully
Probably gonna have a season pass and battle royale mode
Crazy! I have a similar ish story. Girlfriend and I went to the bird refuge at night to smooch in the car and a truck pulls up behind us, after a minute we decide to leave and they follow. Very rural area. The truck passes and then stops in front of us, we go around and then it's like my life became a videogame. The truck passed again and this time stops more horizontal to block both lanes, I start to go around and they pull forward, I'm able to go around their other side. I had a shitty manual that could do 0 to 60 in like 40 seconds but I felt fast. A few 90 degree turns on the road. Quite a lot happened on the chase, they nearly rear ended me when I tried to not let them pass, turned around after they passed, turned around again later. Told my girlfriend to call the police but she was crying and screaming and didn't. And then they ran me off the road into a ditch. 2 guys get out of the truck, I get out of my camry and they're like "who the fuck are you?!!" I yelled it back at them. They said they're looking for some person who wasn't me. I called them a bunch of names. They towed me out of the ditch. I never told my parents because they were Mormon and I didn't want to get in trouble for going to the refuge with my girlfriend at night lol. It 100% doesn't feel like it really happened
Montana. It's not actually the Midwest I suppose, but we frequently say it is
Legal where I live and it's fantastic. Love being first in line at every intersection and not having to worry about getting ran over.
Buuut.... there is a fair number of drivers who like to yell at me to not cut in line... had one person drive on the sidewalk and around me onto the crosswalk and said "if you can cut, so can I." Super scary.
I usually just say, "it's legal, learn to drive" but the "learn to drive" part makes a certain kind of driver so mad that it's not worth risking the road rage
I pedal bike to work and have close calls weekly with cars. Couple months ago I was in the bike path and a car came next to me and matched my speed and then came into the bike lane and drove me into the grass. I thought they were doing it on purpose but they were just confused following their GPS and drifted... Similar stories on my motorcycle. Lane splitting is legal where I live but people still yell at me saying I can't "cut in line" and I had one lady drive on the sidewalk and around me onto the crosswalk (at a red light) saying "if you can cut then so can I." It was kinda terrifying.
Where I live, everyone drives and everyone hates driving and hates other drivers, but they hate bikes and motorcycles more because out grouping or something. Only way to stay alive is to pretend you're invisible and not piss car drivers off.
Midwest USA if curious
To avoid confusion, just say driver and passenger side.
I meant this to be a joke, but if you assume your bed drives forward toward the side with your pillows then it actually works. But if you read in bed with a reading pillow then I guess you probably want to drive your bed toward your feet side of the bed...
Only thing historically significant about the 10 commandments is that the founding fathers didn't want them in classrooms
