Took bike to LBS to replace previous wheel that was broken.
I believe the new wheel supports Shimano HG Cassettes.
However the LBS transferred my Sunrace cassette onto it.
Now it has this play to it and I sometimes loose the chain between the cassette and spokes. If I tighten the limit screw even a bit it won’t shift into the biggest cog.
Does this cassette need to be tightened or do I need to swap to a Shimano cassette.
I bought this bike four years ago today to get to work. Rode it sporadically till October that year. Then she never came out of the garage until June of 2025. It’s been almost a year of straight commuting and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop.
I don’t usually take this route home. I was filming a commute route for my mother who is going to start bike commuting soon. Worked out alright.
Was testing a route out for my mother. Hopefully this doesn’t happen often…
Wait till there is room to clear the intersection before proceeding..
Last year we worked to become debt free (yay!)
Now we have been putting 20% of our after tax income into a HISA. ($6000 at the moment)
Should I be directing this money to a TFSA? It is our emergency fund technically and worry about implications if I have to remove it. Should I wait till the end of the year and contribute to the TFSA when I feel comfortable with the money not being immediately accessible?
Eventually the money will be for IVF and a down payment (This is down the road a bit, should I also open a FHSA?)
We have a couple LOCs that are available to us and plenty of CC room in case of actual emergencies which would technically give us time to get the money out of a TFSA if needed.
We both have all of our TFSA and RRSP contribution room available as we have never saved.
My mom’s car has been broken for years and she’s watched me commute to work for the last year and may have caught the bug. She spotted this package deal on Facebook and we got both bikes for $80 CAD ($60 USD). They’re 2003-2004 Specialized Expeditions. I rode one home and stuffed the other one in the back of my car.
All they need is new brakes, cables and a chain and they’re good to go!
Turn lane to the right of the bike lane. Van waited patiently to move over. BMW had places to be and passed us all.
I’m a 140kg rider and it feels so good to get out and cruise.
Goal is to get to my sisters and back sometime this summer. Around 80kms
This dipshit wasn't happy about going 30 in a school zone and had somewhere to be I guess
