  • Dutchman here. I love riding in fresh snow. Very serene, empty roads, and plenty of grip. It takes effort, and I’ll be wearing lots of layers, so I’m very warm.

    Fuck old snow or black ice though. Like you say, snow is rare so I don’t have studded tires or chains and stuff. Usually the cycle tracks are well salted and plowed though. There’s even an app mhat can de bicycle route planning over plowed roads only.



  • It makes a lot of sense. I make eye contact with drivers, because then I’m mostly sure they’ve seen me.

    With a driverless car I’d like to know it has acknowledged me, so I can start crossing the road. Otherwise I’ll wait until it has completely stopped. So there needs to be some sort of feedback that’s intuitive. Might as well be eyes.





  • I tried to do that some time ago, but got bored of weighing everything. Is taking a picture generally enough to estimate weights and stuff? I remember it made a lot of difference if a salad has an oil dressing for example, or how much peanut butter you put on a sandwich.
