I selflessly rescued an abandoned cat during the COVID-19 Pandemic :3:

I don't think people have a goddamn clue how much their spit gets over everything. More than once today I witnessed people coughing into their hands and then immediately touching money or parcels they are handing me. I didn't say anything because I'm just sitting there with my eye twitching. Then there was the guy who talked to me a bit while holding papers which he then slid over to me (through the gap under the barrier which thank gently caress it was there) and its got spit droplets all over it.


Before the lockdown I had one man land spit on my face, by the corner of my eye. somehow managed to miss my glasses and got me directly. I don't know why I didn't loving scream but I wanted to

yeah I was in my office near george square when it happened. went out to pick up a bagel, got back and then my phone blew up with people asking if I was alive and unstabbed

What's their motivation for buying you an e-bike?


not sure tbh. think they're ttired of driving me about.

My da just introduceed me to it in a 'wi8erd'way

he was like 'this is the bike we're thinking of buying you and I'm like 'ok'

I think looking at the situation, my parents drive me around alot. With covid they havent had to drive me round nearly so much.

In bike-chat, my parents are threatening to buy me an e-bike, are these good/ok?

only asking cause they seem to cost a gently caress-load and if they buy it for me I will have to use it.

And you physically handicapped or old? Do you live in a mountainous region?

If not, e-bikes are kinda embarrassing imo, and as stated, very knickable compared to a normal bike.

If you’re planning some 10+ mile hilly routes in nice clothes, they make more sense. But cars can be had for the cost of an eBike.


Same, but for a normal bike. That I don’t want to have stolen.

This is it for me. I could buy a citroen saxo vts, or gently caress it even a C2 vts. For the money you spent on e-bikes, they don't seem like value for money :/

Every time I've been over anything larger than a kerb on a bike I've completely eaten poo poo and crashed. I like cycling just fine, but I'm pretty sure any kind of actual trail is going to kill me.

but you don't have to insure or tax a ebike and you can't get tickets. also if you have a good illegal one you can go 30-40mph.

I need to get some intensive training in at a jump spot!

all the local training stuff in my area is stupid money for like an hour session. like £100. i'm okay on a bike but i can't really jump very high and i've never been able to do a good american bunny hop.

i don't have anywhere to practice in this town and my trail bike is at my mums house. life sucks.

I used to have that opinion but now I see that anything that gets someone out on a bike is a good thing. I see them as an extension tool for rides, yeah you could ride a 'normal' bike 25 miles across town but you'd probably be fairly hosed from it if you're not somewhat used to it AND THAT ISN'T FUN FOR MOST PEOPLE. If you have an electric bike doing half the work for you it suddenly becomes easier and then you can push for more distance and only have done the work of half of it... The downside is cost and weight. The weight is negated by the motor so your only downside is cost. All bikes are stealable, thieves will take whatever they can, you just make a point of never leaving it anywhere it could go walkies. You can guard against opportunists in many ways, parking next to a nicer bike, having a second lock, taking your bike into places... Thing is, if someone wants it, they can get it, you just don't take chances so they can.

think i might give todays run a miss still feeling it a little in my achilles i think? i can't really tell but that seems good enough not to run today to me so i can definitely recover

edit; just checked c25k week 6 and its not all long runs maybe i will go for one

If you can do day 1 of week 6 you're pretty much set. Its just a token walk really and I think you'll be surprised how the switch to a long run at the end of the week isn't so bad

Which voice do you use?

e: actually I've just realised if you're on this week you've already done the 20 min run so this one will seem super easy

Genuinely concerning reading the latest Lowtax poo poo

He is continuously bringing up this poor woman's trauma in a smuggish way to clearly to manipulate and torture her, oh and he is proud he has never been convicted of assaulting people.

I can't partake in a community he is still a part of.

Hopefully see you all again in better days
