At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what kind of bike you have, as long as you take care of it, keep it lubed up, and—most importantly—actually get out there and ride it regularly. ...
I'm totally on board with this... the most important thing is just having the
drive to do it, and honestly, it’s just great to see more and more people hitting the streets on two wheels lately.
Here’s an interesting little test for you all
In the end, it looks like the car itself made a mistake... though honestly, we're only talking about a difference of maybe a minute or two.
Also, I’ve been biking to work for about two weeks now... It's roughly 3.1 miles one way, so I'm clocking about 10 miles a day, which is nothing to sneeze at. It takes me maybe 15 minutes to get there if I'm just cruising along, which actually keeps me right on par with my old commute in the car—sometimes I even beat the traffic. And like someone else mentioned earlier, the ride home is such a breeze now; no more getting worked up, sitting in endless gridlock, or basically slow-cooking inside my little tin can.
HandBrake is honestly great.
I'm really happy with how it handles
I honestly think it’d be a lot smarter to just wrap that up with some gauze and then put a bandage over it, rather than leaving it sitting there totally exposed...

I’m in the exact same boat... I honestly have no clue why my body reacts this way every single time I give blood...🤷
I deal with this exact same thing, so I try to avoid getting blood drawn whenever humanly possible..
It’s not like I have trouble sleeping the night before, or even getting myself out the door in the morning, but the second I actually step foot inside the clinic, everything just falls apart.
I start feeling lightheaded, I get hit with this sudden wave of heat, and then the sweating starts... honestly, I think it would be way less painful and much easier if I could just walk straight in and donate or get tested immediately, but no... I have to sit there in the waiting room staring at the wall until they call my name... and that's exactly when the wheels come off. Out of the five or six times I've gone in for blood work, I've actually fainted once. The very first time I went, I felt like I was in a total coma; I just couldn't snap out of it. The second time, I made sure to bring an assortment of chocolates 🙂 along with me, which helped a lot. Then the third time, I ended up passing out completely. Long story short, it's a real issue for me. I absolutely dread giving blood, and I'm pretty wary of hospital visits in general because those same symptoms always seem to flare right back up.
