Why does my left brake get stuck half way? It clicks, then stops. I can push it back out easily but it happens every time. The lever also pulls all the way back to the grip, with little resistance which is seemingly making the brake not very effective.
She sat at the back of the bus, and when her stop arrived she got off and continued on her commute.
For a budget electric dirt bike Ive been impressed with it. Ive only put 50 miles on it but did some trail riding last weekend and the bike did great. No complaints. I rode 20 miles with a lot of hills and still had 3 out of 5 battery bars left when I was done. Pedals feel very silly and make me insecure riding around people with legit dirt bikes but it is what it is. Pedals come in handy when Im riding in town.
Anyone else have one? Would love to hear some tips and tricks if anyone has some useful info about the bike.
I have a bike that has decals painted on and they are very ugly/ make the bike look cheap. Ive never painted a bike/ anything really and Im curious if spray paint works well? Or if anyone has bought a wrap and done it themselves? Any advice or reccs appreciated.
This is for a Happyrun G300 Pro.
This documentary, for 9 days, follows around a small sect of Jihadists in Syria waging war against other Syrian Jihadists to over throw Bashar's regime.
This documentary is gripping and I don't say that lightly. It has suspense, action, gore, sadness, you name it. It is not for the faint of heart. This filmmaker is right on the front lines with people dying literally right next to him and yes, he shows it all without censoring. It's fucking gruesome. It gives you an idea of just how crazy life is over in Syria. However bad you think it is, multiply it by 2.
One of the best, and craziest, documentaries I have ever seen. I highly recommend but buckle up.
I was on holiday last week in Ireland and noticed several cars with large red letters on them and wanted to know, what do they indicate? Thanks. Love your country.
Can we please do a black owned business audit in the greater Austin area? I went to Terry Black's and not one black person was to be found. This was a special occasion Juneteenth outing and I left feeling disheartened on such a otherwise wonderful day.

I spent 10 days in Guanajuato. I stayed in the capital and traveled to San Miguel de Allende, and also Leon for day trips. Guanajauto is the most beautiful city I've been to. Very lively, very colorful, and very fun to explore. A little expensive for Mexico but worth it for sure. Very few people speak English and not many gringos; 99% of the tourism is domestic so it has an authentic feel even though it is a tourist destination. You should go check it out.
I went to the state of Guanajuato for 10 days in May. My base camp was in Guanajuato City which is the most beautiful and unique city Ive ever been to. The old colonial buildings, abundance of churches, street food everywhere, it was amazing. The city never sleeps. People are out on the streets all night. It's very lively with people and live music on every block. I highly recommend going if you have the chance. I never once felt unsafe even walking home at 2am in the centro area.
The Mummy museum was very bizarre. Some of the "mummies" literally died in 1964... they are not the 1000 year old Egyptian mummies you might be picturing. They still have pubic hair and full genitalia on them, male and female. The old silver mines were cool. I went in one that was made in 1549 and it went about 100 feet under ground. The mines are out of the city so you will need a driver to get there and back.
I took a day trip to San Miguel de Allende which is very beautiful but much more tousity. If you're already in Guanajuato you gotta go check it out. 1 hour bus ride or $40 uber. The main cathedral there is insane. The central plaza is a very nice little area to hang out and the cobble stone streets are very cool. This town is as expensive as the US though so don't come expecting Mexico prices.
I also took a day trip to Leon. There seems to be little to no tourist industry there which made it feel very authentic. The leather district was interesting. I bought a belt and they cut it to my size after I found which one I wanted. Leon is not nearly as affluent as Guanajuato or San Miguel but in a semi charming way. Leon was one of the more authentic Mexico experiences Ive ever had.
One thing to watch out for as a gringo is the Uber / DiDi scam. If you order a ride outside of the city, the driver will show up and when you get in he will tell you "sorry we don't do out of town trips on the app. I will cancel the ride and you will have to pay me in cash." This happened on 3 of my 4 out of town uber rides. The final time Uber said 450 pesos, I pay on the app, driver arrives and tells me it's 650 pesos cash. I said no, uber told me 450. He said nope, 650 cash. So I got out of the car and reported him to uber and got my 450 pesos back. I get it, times are tough and uber fucking sucks but don't upcharge me. I would have gave him 450 pesos cash if that's what he wanted.
Anyway. I highly recommend going to Guanajuato. It is so authentic compared to most tourist cities in Mexico. Almost no white people there and very few people speak English. If you don't know Spanish, it will be a problem. I speak a little and embarrassed myself almost every day trying to communicate even just ordering at restaurants. The prices are not cheap compared to other places in Mexico. Probably $10 per meal, $7-8 per cocktail, $3-4 beers. This surprised me the most about the city. It's the most expensive place Ive been in Mexico I think outside of Condesa in Mexico City.

Not many power sport shops in my area. I saw the actual Surron website doesn't actually sell them? You have to use a dealer I believe. Maybe Im wrong but any insight is appreciated.
I am aware it's a very dangerous city. But it's also a larger city so I'm wondering if the main square/ centro area is safe during the day time?
The reason I ask is I have a trip to Guanajuato coming up and I want to visit a place with no tourists. Not like light tourism, but no tourists.
I'm not looking for any problems and Im mainly concerned about getting robbed. If someone took my phone and wallet in Celaya I have no idea how I would get back to Guanajuato/ finish the trip.
I know it's a dumb idea. Have you been to Celaya? Do you live there? Any feedback is appreciated even if it's negative.
