Thereās some opinions saying that a) employees are less likely to take PTO with unlimited PTO and b) that a reason is that the company doesnāt have to pay out vacation days if they let an employee go. Iām on unlimited PTO and have enjoyed it so far, although it does feel a bit odd sometimes.
Itās a tricky situation, the wife is in the military and has a stronger career than me (I work in environmental conservation). Sheās already been in for 11 years and wants to do the full 20 for the pension.
Hey man! One thing to do, that has given me a new passion and life quality while living in the U.S. was to join cycling. Iām nearby in Austin if you ever want to meet new people, they have coffee rides, chill group rides, etc, that can be nice to get out of the house, meet people, and get your mind free. Iām sure thereās comparable activities too. Let me know if you ever need an intro. Albeit, I personally (from Germany) with American girlfriend and despite loving Austin, still want to move back to Europe in the next couple years. How would yāall deal with having kids? āš¼
The giant propel geometry is racy, so it may feel uncomfortable if you arenāt a trained cyclist. Itās an excellent bike, well specād to itās price range, and a very beautiful one too. Some questions:
Damn, so much freaking out in the answers here! If the bike course isnāt closed (which it mostly isnāt), there will be cars on it during the race. No idea why anyone would think you shouldnāt bike it before when there will be cars and other bikes on it during.
Don't go into the water the morning of the race: there will be many boats from the organization, buoy's will be repositioned and it'll be dangerous. Also it will be confusing for the race organizers if someone is in the water. There is a reason often swimming on track is prohibited for contestants before the race. Also there is absolutely no benefit at all in swimming on race day on that course. You can swim that course any day you like.
Appreciate the long answer. Yea, I was curious about the principle and practicality of it, and was overwhelmingly talked out of it š šš¼šš¼
Got it, I just exported it to āMy Mapsā on Google maps. But it seems like I canāt use it with directions/ navigation? The map is just static as is. Any tips?
I had it installed by the local German auto tuning shop. The tutorial looked pretty straightforward, but I donāt have a garage and I didnāt want to work in the blazing sun.
Bro for me itās gonna be at least 1200 parts and labor, maybe even abit more. But then after that I gotta figure out the oil consumption, trouble shoot between the motor or pcv valve. But good luck man. Save the money and just get it done :)
Hot, uncomfortable, won't actually do anything, and it's not a slight aero disadvantage. Hairy legs are a slight disadvantage. A bunch of random, useless padding is a major aero disadvantage. Would probably cause some ungodly chafing on the back of your knees, too.
During all mountain climbers, we are told in the studio we're going 'downhill' as soon as we're lowering the incline - but we're still going uphill, just on a lower incline than before!!
This one comes with better than average stock wheels, it's a great choice for an entry level bike and the price is good. It's a much better choice than the Bianchi in your first post.
I forgot to ask, when you say New, you mean it's at a bike shop where it has gone unsold since 2020 or is it "like new, ridden 10 miles". The price is only fair if you are getting brand new with a frame warranty.
My only feedback is that those shoes are š„

Question is if 3,900ā¬ is a good price? Appreciate all your help!

I am facing the exact same issueā¦ keep me posted please if you find a solution.

I just mount my phone to my bike. Personally I'm a fan of the
Just ordered one from SP Connect
Any updates here on this thread? Did you do it?! š«š·
Iām doing the quarter distance in Kerrville!! Good luck to you!
Thanks
Did you do it yourself? How did it go
I had it installed by the local German auto tuning shop. The tutorial looked pretty straightforward, but I donāt have a garage and I didnāt want to work in the blazing sun.
How much did it cost you, if you donāt mind sharing

I just got an estimate to fix all upper and lower control arms for $3k, parts and labor included. Thinking of doing it myself, any opinions?
Jesus thatās a lot of money. Now Iām scared man. Cause I know for a fact I gotta do everything. 3k just sounds like a lot
Haha I know man, Iām in the same boat. Thatās why Iām thinking of doing it myself, parts go for $500 ish
Any updates? Did you get it out??
Thanks all!
My only preferred setting would would be the option to change the scrolling direction of the MMI knob/dial.

GCN just did a segment on this:
Great!! Didnāt see that when I googled for some reason

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation

Yes itās from a bike shop! But Iāll make sure that itāll have warranty, good reminder
How much was this listed for? Curious since Iām looking at a similar one
