Commuting by bike isn't necessarily faster than by car but as commuting by car you get say 30 minutes of boredom, on a bike you get 1 hour of joy ^_^ I love rock straps, I started using them recently on my motorbike. Superhelpful when riding two up with my girlfriend and she brings so much stuff that it can't fit into the top case ^_^

You should look into getting a new saddle, maybe a nice Brooks B17 to match your bartape

Very cool setup and lively and informative presentation style. Like the way you customized your bike, coordinating your gear so it’s aesthetically pleasing and functional. What size rok straps do you have? Been using bungees cords. Would like to try the straps. Must admit the drop handle bars seem to make it look like the cyclist knows what he or she is doing, but I am a hybrid bicyclist who prefers a more upright riding position. My cockpit is crazy busy. I always ride with my action camera mounted there, have an electronic remote controlled motion sensor/horn anti theft device, a small but pleasantly loud bell, a bike computer, headlight, left and right rear view mirrors and believe it or not an air horn attached to the head tube. Everything is color coordinated-navy blue and black are the dominant colors. Have a black rear rack, expandable panniers, a tail light, U-lock with cable, and some basic tools I carry in the top compartment of my “saddle bags.” Also have a detachable mud guard attached to the down tube. Oh yes, I always carry an electric bike pump. I use my mirrors, computer, and U-lock regularly and inflate my tires before leaving the house. Whew! The other stuff I rarely use but I like having all of it with me just in case. Bike is pretty heavy but I can keep up with other hybrid bike riders. Not into speed anyway. Just like having fun-like you. Really appreciated your approach to urban cycling. Thanks for sharing! One more thing I like how your rear wheel requires a special tool to remove the wheel and how you lock the front wheel and frame!

my must have was a bike trailer , I use it to haul wood for my wood stove , Free heat

hello ! if still have one of them, i'll be interested in buying it !

You’ll learn the terminology soon enough. I’d definitely keep these original, and in adventures you’ll find other frames that are perfect for projects. I ride a matte black pure cycle single speed with a few gold goodies, and I’ve got pretty fast, but still have work to do. To get me ready for the multispoed bike I want to build to race, I bought a rare 2000 bianchi professional team, and oh my I feel like I’m cheating. It’s fast af but it belongs in a museum. Soon im getting an original owner 1976 Motobecane Jubilee. Enjoy you’re time traveling, I know I am.

Omg no idea there was a play button down there. Brb, going to tuck my pants into my socks.

Great video. Thank you. I love your chatty style of presentation. I’ve just purchased the duo boiler not really knowing much about coffee! I am already falling in love with coffee and the duo boiler. I think that getting into the science sounds so cool, and I am really impress by your notebook. I would love to see a video on the research you have carried out. Ken from Southport, UK

Good review. Just ordered in brown/tan xpac ... let's hope I like it. I did prefer the blue interior of yours, but whatever.

Thanks for this. I watched your Fjallraven Raven backpack and the Bellroy looks really good as both products give that casual look. Now I am indecisive because I like both backpacks

chances are high your faucet won't supply enough water and will ruin your pressure washer due to cavitation.

i hope they have an Xpac version of this bag

My bikes came with lights, bells, mudguards, locks, helmets and racks when I got them. One set of the bike lights are dynamo. I use panniers, a front block that can carry a bag and or a trailer when needed. I add extra rechargable lights for emergencies just in case. I do have one of those multi-tools and the extra emergency tube with repair kit though I have had to use it once 4 years. Plus I have some bungee cords/straps.

have you ever descaled your machine? Every time I did it one of my boilers stopped working.

Hi, I searched the web and couldn’t find the bike frame anywhere, can you please tell me what the model is called?

I was about to buy this scale, but man, this 2 minutes auto shut off completely turned me off. How on earth this "feature" could be helpful in ANY way? If it's to prevent the battery to die in case one forgets to shut it off, 15-20 minutes would do the job without hindering the coffee preparation flow.

The IMS shower curtain is a good buy because it replaces that plastic piece behind the original shower curtain into a nice stainless steel and the water distribution is consistent. I have a VST basket and when I compared it to the stock I didn't find a big difference in extractions but I do like the VST because its 20 grams instead of 18 As far as the dual boiler, I have it for 2 years, I do 2 shots a day and I have repaired it twice. Its a lemon and I don't suggest anyone buying them because they are just made really cheap. If you look at all the Amazon reviews from people who have them for more then a year its always the same issues, boilers start to leak and the boiler that goes to the group head is shared by the hot water valve and that is a nightmare as well as it stops working altogether. The biggest problem with Breville don't have repair centers across Canada so you have to ship the machine, and when the warranty runs out its 350 dollars to repair plus shipping which is not cheap. The biggest joke is that they do not sell their parts to repair centers which doesn't make sense since they don't have repair centers across Canada and you have to pay shipping when its out of warranty. Breville use to be a good brand until they started making them in China. I know people that have their Breville pre Chinese machine for over 10 years and never had a problem. I am not impressed with Breville at all, just the price is right when I bought it I paid 1400 CDN as you did and if you try to buy a similar machine which there are not that many that can do what it can its pretty much 2 to 3 times the price. And I am not talking about machines that you have to drop a ton of money to change PID and mod them so that the pressure is right. The old saying, you get what you pay for is for Breville. They should make 2 versions one with crap parts as they do now and one with high end parts and no plastic and charge accordingly. Aluminum boilers are garbage but I didn't know that when I bought it. I strongly suggest since you have had no problem and I hope you have the original box. sell it and run before the nightmares start.

A mirror is one of the most important things I've added, especially since I'm usually riding on faster roads. It's kind of awesome how beneficial it is and going without one just feels kind of wrong now.

That's a beautifully turned out bike. Everything on it makes for a super useful machine. Even your handlebars are set right. Bet you can ride all day long. Enjoy.

I use Tūl and I love their products I am now upgrading my notebook from the 1” disk to the 1.5” and I like how I get to keep my orginal casing

Does she live in New Jersey?

Does anyone know what the minimum amount of sheets for the disc binder to be stable?

4 years on, are you still using the Raven 20L?

I’wish tomtoc would make a ryan air size backpack it would be awesome

Wait, did you jump over your bike?

Been seeing ads for it for ever finely payed for it . Best, most versatile one I have found. Free or payed. As an adult Autistic it is very helpful with my stimulation and time management issues. As well as my obseive tendencies.

But WHY Nonstick for boiling water? It’s unhealthy 😮

get a full face helmet

I love the bag and I will purchase one however I noticed your wallet and would like to know the make and model

Geezus…ya didn’t remove the rug when spraying 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

Discbound is not for me. Good on those who can use it and not lose so many pages. :(

mowl·skin

This is my go to sling. Actually i wore this everyday as i can store all my stash inside 😂😂😂

What bike do you have? Really cool!

Logic and smart explanation, very interesting, thank you!

Hey Jess! Thank you so much and super helpful! Do you think it could hold a 14’ MBP and a 13” iPad Pro? Thank you so much!🎉 🎒🤙

As a bike commuter, the only accessories I use are the bike and a lock so I can find the bike where I left it

Points of contact: sandpaper-like surface pedals, SelleRoyal RespiroRelaxed and ErgonGP5 grips on my ScottStrike e-Ride. NitecoreBr25 front light and MagicShineSeeMee 300 are the main lights and both shine under the bike too, not only in front and rear! I also have a Fenix HM65R-T on the helmet. And a GarminFenix 6X Pro as a mini-computer. The bike was a gift ftom my brother, i could never bought a 5000 € bike. Its overkill for me, in fact i rarely use it because its difficult to get in and out the basement where i keep it. But i enjoy it very much.

Beautiful video. I still think Chrome makes the best bicycle bags for edc. 👍

Wish I could commute to work. 17 miles to work and in Florida weather, theres no way. 😢

Need a video that really gets into the beans themselves and how they (alone) can change everything, like pressure, flavor, etc…

What size acme cup are you using? Thanks

Two thumbs up for sharing this idea! I was also looking for an air fryer, however, most models are made with plastic parts, and of course the non-stick coated baskets. Over time, the coating chips away, posing a health hazard. I aim to buy items which results in minimal waste, and the stainless steel wire rack really appeals to me; one less item in the landfill after a couple of years. Even though I've finally found a stainless steel air fryer, I'll adopt your method.

Thank u!

Really good review. I like it and it’s a nice alternative to able carry 13. I like the Alpaka even more

Love the blend of aesthetic and functionality of your bike!

I finally got panniers (don't know why it took me so long 😅). What a game changer! Imagine being able to get a full load of groceries AND not having your back get all sweaty from a backpack. Plus the back rack stops the rain from splashing up my backside.

Your so beautiful

I'm happy for you that you upgraded your camera. How come the video quality hasn't improved though?

Good video. Getting this machine cheap second as a first machine.
