Just get yourself an e-bike, sorted!

I've been running in the borders much more this year and have been surprised by just how many e-mtbs I've seen on the more "casual" trails and areas. I wonder what percentage of all sold are now e-bikes.

I'm so used to having the HUD on the touring that even in cars with a traditional dash, it seems weird to have to move my head a few mm to check the speedo.

Do Teslas not have a HUD? That makes me today number of years old etc when I learned that. I just assumed they did given the layout.

What have Mini done? That circular screen makes me think of Gamesmaster and Patrick Moore for some reason. Like it will just be filled with an image of his head and he'll read out what speed you're doing and directions. I've never really understood any cars which don't at least have the speedo and r...

The trailer looked good for Fallout... fingers crossed...

I was planning to switch to flats this year as I've always ridden clipped-in with Crank Bros pedals of some sort. Which are great until they're not - you're lying upside down in the grass with a bike attached to you like a turtle stuck on its back. I'll try to get somewhere I can try shoes on althou...

Yes, I always thought you couldn’t claim unless the pothole was known about, they can’t reasonably be expected to inspect every single road on a daily basis. But once reported should be repaired in a reasonable time. Www.fixmystreet.com Put a point on the map and report the problem. They automatica...

That Nazi one is giving me a migraine just trying to read it. Maybe that's what they want?

I'm considering reporting all of the pot holes and damaged speed bumps on my normal daily routes as I'm just waiting to damage a wheel and/or tyre at some point and to have any hope of getting some money back from the council they need to have been told about them (I think). Although I still suspect...

Was behind a Honda HR-V for a while today and as far as tiny, indistinguishable indicators go, I think they're the worst yet.

I did the same recently mainly for Spiderman but found myself finally playing Shadow to the Colossus which is a game I somehow managed to miss when it first came out. We're currently decluttering the house so I must not buy a steering wheel and GT7.... but.... if I was to buy a wheel, what's the rec...

I've had movies I've bought disappear from Apple and Prime for "reasons" which I guess are all licensing related. Its a complete mess of rights issues which can be country-specific meaning there's stuff disappearing, some things move to streaming and some things aren't available to buy leg...

Presumably there are legal guidelines specifying minimum standards for brake and indicator lights? I saw a few random EV cars today which all had some funky looking rear setup of brake lights and indicators, the latter of which were really difficult to actually make out when activated.

I really enjoyed Constellation on Apple TV and want to give it a rewatch to pick up all the little hints along the way about what was going on as its one of those shows where what was happening was hiding in plain sight all along. Noomi Rapace is an astronaut onboard the ISS when an accident happens...

Was it Dickie Meaden who bought one back in the day just before the values went crazy?

My only recent & slightly relevant info to share as I'm most definitely not qualified at all... when they were investigating my low heart rate I saw a couple of cardiologists who both said the same things. Salt is very bad. Excess alcohol is very bad. A Mediterranean diet and being active are th...

Its almost like a Greatest Hits of Guy Ritchie but is very good fun.

Every day's a school day.... I genuinely didn't know you could do that.

Very cool, top work!

Are there any good solutions out there for motion-detected cams which can use battery and solar power only? Looking for something I could stick on a shipping container which would be in the middle of a field basically, for a bit of extra security... I have a few Eufy cameras (as I don't want the pe...
