One of the best things about the @… meeting is the chance to connect with experts in different but related fields. Dinner this evening covered low level jets, atmospheric rivers, carbon cycling by biological processes in the southern ocean, permafrost decay and vegetation processes in the Arctic and how wildfires will spread in the future.
We are a very diverse group.

I just had to reboot my fridge by power cycling it.
This is not the future I wanted!
I just checked the files from our vacation recently. One day we just did a short cycling loop in the neighbourhood.
Actually - nothing really exciting for us. But after a while I thought about all you, international friends here. And I assumed that most of you have probably no clue about my direct neighbourhood and the villages around.
So enjoy a short video:

Imagine that there's a combined walking and cycling path that splits into separate path for pedestrians and bikes. Now, imagine that they're marked "PEDESTRIANS" and "BICYCLES" in large lettering. Now, imagine that there are also barriers on the entry to the pedestrian path.
Of course there's also an arc of destroyed grass showing how cyclists keep riding around the barrier and into the pedestrian path.

Now this is uncool: Today morning it rained slightly and I only did a walk instead of a cycling loop.
During the day it was amazingly great weather.

Occasionally, just occasionally when cycling around I encounter someone who is actively angry about the unicycle, penny farthing or (now) the tallbike.
I have no idea why but some old angry guy was shouting at me today. I ignored him and did not engage. Best not to, I think. 🤷
Remember - if your kids go to school, a school that provides free busing to everyone who lives more than a KM away, that's in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walking and cycling, and that's in one of the largest cities on the continent (a city that has a generally functional transit system), you have NO CHOICE but to drive them to school every day.

From Translink
With more Canadians opting to be tourists in their own country this summer, TransLink is making it easier (and a lot more fun) with a series of Transit-Friendly Summer Tours throughout Metro Vancouver.
More than 50 curated tours will be launched over the course of this summer, each of which offer unique ways to see different parts of Metro Vancouver while taking transit, cycling, or walking.

Cycling question: trying out saddles, in the UK
UK cycling people, is there somewhere you'd go to sit on different saddles to test if they're comfortable? Is that a thing?
I've worked out that my (default came-with-the-bike) saddle isn't the right shape for me: it's giving me an achy tailbone, as well as I think being a bit too narrow for optimal sit-bone comfort.
For context, I'm an "occasional cyclist for pleasure and/or practical reasons", shall we say. No ambition to be super fast.
Looking around online, I think I want something more like the Rido R2 or one of the Selle ones, shaped to have air under the tailbone area. Or maybe even a noseless one like the Spongy Wonder, though I don't like the look of how the metal frame sticks out at the front of those.
What's the chances a shop would have more than one of those and a willingness to get them out for a test sit? Or, better still, is there a loan scheme anywhere, so you can actually "test drive" them for a bit? Or do people usually just buy and be willing to sell again?
I'm in Nottingham, and I know there are bike shops I could get to, but I'm not seeing "come in and try all these saddles, we'll help you to find the right one" kinds of messaging.
Could also potentially travel elsewhere at some point if it turns out there's some kind of "best place in the country for that question".
Advice welcome!

Comcast IPv6 decided to bork itself again. Nothing I've tried (restarting DHCPv6 client, power cycling the modem) works.
My router gets a v6 address, can hit the internet without issues.
Router makes a DHCPv6 request, gets a delegated /59 out of my static /56.
But when I try to use an address out of the /59 on the local network (via radvd handing out /64's) it gets nowhere, traceroutes stop at the CPE/CMTS.
Ahh 1h calm cycling workout after an office day. Physical activity is a blessing.

I really wanted to experience a long e-bike ride (64kms), but disappointed to do only ~26kms. Unfortunately, the saddle just wasn't working for me and I didn't want to risk damaging my body. 🥺

Today I managed to buy a replacement buckel for the lap belt of my tramper backback at Bergsport Schwanda. I really like speciality shops where you can just drop by while cycling through the city (which makes it rather easy to not shop at horrible websites owned by proto-facist billionairs).

Hey! We just came back from a nice afterwork cycling.
Currently we do an hour of easy cycling every day.
Especially after work it really a blessing.
As I'm STILL behind with the recent trips I just browsed the archives for some beautiful memories of a hike last year.
This trail doesn't offer epic vistas but the trail itself is just a gem.

My bike&hike yesterday 🙂
This is when I talk about mountainbiking: not fierce downhills - but uphills 😄 Including an evil ramp of 23% incline (regarding my cycling computer - and my legs) on gravel that I didn't expect.
(especially as I was carrying a backpack including camera and tele-lens)
Still working on the photos from the day before. Today is a rest-day for me.
My legs still feel a bit sore. My back is fine already
Now this was a nice loop around the #chiemsee! 😊
