Oh I don't like that picture of the man on one, it looks like he's in a race. And I think even the most frothy-mouthed gate fan would admit these are not racing bikes.

You might hate your job. But at least you're not a russian general invited to a meal & drinks with Putin next to an open window.

Yeah, it's good at that. It'd be my fault if it drove over someone though.

America but same principle. Don't forget, the tech bro's who own these things are all dead set against socialism, and here it is giving them a free service which is stretching the public tax to the limit.

Nothing exists without the public paying for it.

We're all on the edge of our seats now. I'm still saying wheel bearings.

The other things that are really bothering me is the 9am drop off which is half way through the day, and no courtesy car for services. This is a sub-optimal experience. Honda were *much* better.

1st world problem but very disappointed with my BMW service arrangements. The car has grassed me up twice to the dealers for going past a service date, so I login to BMW to book a service, now apparently they know nothing about me

If the car is telling them everything, I just want to press a button

A play facility that was paid for by community fundraising has been demolished because residents complained about the noise.

They should be ashamed of themselves

Mixture i think. Maybe one day off grid, next day find a campsite with facilities.

I want the bike fit to be easy to use and not drag the doors down. Maybe a towbar fit.

I agree, but I want a campervan so I need to scratch the itch. The good news is, it appears I will buy a campervan, and then if I don't like it, I can sell it for more than I bought it.

Not really, the guy owns Amazon, the woman is his new wife. His first wife divorced him and then gave all the money she got from him away to good causes. I doubt this one will do the same.

Jon @jontafkasi.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, another thing. Very few have cycle carriers. And then you look at fitting cycle carriers to campervan prices. Add another grand.

WHAT IS GOING ON???

This is very true.

Despite me hammering refresh and things, this is the only post that will show in my stream. Well done. You've broken bsky with your clown feed.

Christ, campervan browsing is a nightmare. Some builds are horrible, chipboard, low kitchenettes, plastic seats. Awful.
And the price you're willing to pay slowly rises. I think I started at £15k, I'm at double that now and I'm still not seeing what I want.

No worries. Your paintings are amazing. I'm just not that into baseball (being from the UK and everything), if you diversified into cycling I'd be buying plenty of them. 😁
