I find it quite interesting how much talk there is about crank length while the difference between Shimano SPD-SLs and Speedplay systems is between 5-8mm depending on which bolt setup you have on the Speedplay cleat (3 bolt adapter or native 4 bolt shoe).

I have a lot of issue with hip impingement and have greatly enjoyed reducing my crank length to help with the symptoms. I had been exploring SPD-SLs for greater foot stability, but now I am wary of making the change because it is like walking back my crank length somewhat.

thanks to AI tooling it is easier than ever to throw all the data into and LLM and get back a categorized list of transactions with a summary of spend in a view that’s way better than what your bank, CC provider will provide

ive just been through this exercise and holy shit the hedonistic treadmill and inflation really packs a punch. every line item makes sense ”yes little Henry can go to wiffleball camp for the week”, “yes Hermonie needs some extra support with her Maths”, “a flat white would be great thanks” but in aggregate these numbers are really have ramped up so much.

have I just got lazy and slipped on to the hedonistic treadmill or does everyone see the same thing?

around 5:30pm this evening I watched a lady speed off of vauxhall bridge out of control on a lime scooter directly into the central reservation on Millbank - a few people stopped to help and I helped move one of the scooters out of the road. There appeared to be 3 people involved travelling together but only 2 scooters, I didn’t see if they were doubling up before the crash but it looked like some variant of that.

i hope the lady is ok!

I must say my personal experience accidents on Lime bikes and scooters is trending up and the crashes are usually some variant of this, someone out of control crashing and hitting the ground hard.
