Crabby’s Journey To Decarbonize

Just did another trial run with my ebike yesterday, this time to a hypermarket on the way to my workplace. The ride is mostly residential area and backroad, gone through a cemetery and then a minor part on road with little to no road shoulder, so it’s a safe-ish route i can come out with, 18km one way. It’s a pleasant ride as well, a lot of driver did went out of their way of waiting for me to pass before coming out from the junction, but then again, riding on a main road without road shoulder is still unnerving as heck, with skill or not.

This route also went through a cemetery with territorial doggos, got chased when going and back this trip, and have to point and yell at the dog to partially pacify it, and ngl, it does makes me rethink this route, especially riding back home from work means i’m gonna go through this area in pitch black with roaming pack of dogs, even though the stretch of road is only about 280m of road and safe from car and decrease the travel distance by a 1.5km. Yikes.

It’s also quite hot despite all the wind, start riding back home from the market at 6:15pm and reached by 7:15pm, still get very sweaty. I guess that’s the weather we get for being in equator, and this is why cycling aren’t the mode of transport for most.

Despite that, i still think it might worth it in the long run for both health and the climate, can’t rely on electric car considering there’s no plan to quickly decarbonise the electric generation, and car is just a damn expensive piece of equipment to maintain and finance.

Edit it instead of deleting it, but then i doubt it’s useful because they can revert everything. Before i moved i did a mass edit using plugin and even after a few days, some comment stay the same while others is successfully edited.

There’s just no disadvantage of dumping your abusive SO though.

Monkeypox, airborne and via prolonged skin contact

I reaaaaly hope this one isn’t as bad and will be over soon

No lah, i got myself an ebike so the trip will not be that tiresome. I’ve been testing the range and my capability and i think i can make it without much issue. Just have to wake up earlier for that.

It’s actually around 23km away so round trip is 46km per day 🙈

Gar tongued a bread

Went on a waterfall hike with friends, i feels like i’ve been drifting away from them slowly because i don’t really speak much, feels more and more like a burden to them.

Otherwise it’s okay-ish. Trying to switch from commute with car to bike both for fitness, finance, and environment has been going quite smoothly, i’ve now learning how to ride confidently in traffic even though sometimes it’s better for me to wait till traffic clear out before taking my turn. It’s also very much helps with my mental health too, used to be depressed and have suicidal thought just a few months ago and riding in traffic makes me wanna live lol.

Straight to the bargain bin?

Nah, nothing big, just have some leak that requires some times to fix, not very confident in doing it within one day though so it’s been dragging on for quite some times now.
