I prefer to bike 5 minutes to the train station rather than taking the metro one stop.

No thanks…

In the Netherlands we have quite good infrastructure for bikes, but e-bikes/scooters going >25kph really fuck up the safety.

I’m with OP, if you want to go that fast you should be in the road.

I think 10am is reasonable for first meetings.

I would also say no meetings to close to the end of lunch or ending at 5pm.

I only bike with the dog on protected lines, definitely crucial!

Come visit the Netherlands :)

Pretty chill with mostly protected bike paths and separate cycles at traffic lights.

I also found Paris quite chill due to the decent drivers more than the improving but still lacking infra.

It was a bit to bumpy for the computer so we brought that with the metro.

Simple joy from repairs? (lemm.ee)
 

Our washing machine broke last week and the first thought was to buy a replacement but I wanted to at least attempt a repair first.

The machine would still fill and empty water, but the dishes remained dry and there was a burning smell. So, I unplugged it, tipped it over and popped open the bottom cover.

Aside from the controller, the dishwasher was very simple: a drainage pump, a circulation pump, a heating element and some solenoid valves. A multimeter showed the (main suspect) circulation pump still had continuity which narrowed the search down to the pump’s starting capacitor. Seven euros and a few days later and it’s back in action!

The simple fix really gave me a sense of joy and satisfaction. It feels great to extend the use of something that I already have rather than need to consume more.

Can anyone relate? Any good repair stories?

I’m a big fan of the right to repair movement.
