    My favorite version of this is when the novice has followed someone’s dodgy advice to set pull.rebase = true, then they pull a shared branch that they’re collaborating on, into which their coworker has just merged origin/main. Instant Sorcerer’s Apprentice-scale chaos!

    Why are you doing that? Don’t do that.















  • I’ve done a few BDRs with the Kreiga bags (32L + 22L + 12L) with absolutely no issues. I’ve low sided through a deep puddle, dragged it through a rocky stream after running aground and dropping the bike, and rode through a typhoon at highway speeds.

    Absolutely no issues with durability or water proofing.

    I put all my clothes in the 32L, my laptop in a pelican case and other misc (mini-pump, plugs, first aid) in the 22L, and all my camping gear in the 12L. I strap the tent to the top of the 32L with some rokstraps.





  • Finally got the chance to try out this motorcycle bike rack I got last year. Worked like a charm, couldn’t even tell it was there honestly. A bit more crosswind on bridges but nothing more than a pillion would give.

    It admittedly looks ridiculous, but that’s kinda half the fun. Definitely got some looks going down the road.

    Need to find a way to store the motorcycle helmet at the destination though since it takes the place of a top box.



  • I think in a lot of ways, the answer to the question requires honest self reflection. It’s exceptionally easy to tell ourselves we’ll be responsible rider, always wear the gear, ride defensively. It’s another thing to actually do those things while on the bike.

    Motorcycles will always be more dangerous than driving, but it’s reasonably on par with other risky hobbies with the right mindset and self control.
