Re: LastPass alternative?

Long time since I've logged on here, but...

I switched over to Bitwarden from lastpass a long while ago. Very easy switch and never had any issues.

Pretty sure TOTP was available to me without paying for the premium (which I have now)...

Re: Run flat tyres

no difference here - rarely get punctures full stop.

I've had numerous brands too (some miles better ride wise than other)

Re: Why - what does it matter?

I just don't see the need to include it in the articles :(

And what's PTW?

Re: Why - what does it matter?

In the first instance, they stated it was a Porsche with the inference that the car was going [too] fast In the second, it's filler And half the time in these reports, they get it wrong I don't see that inference - other than going in the "opposite direction" but that could mean anything....

Why - what does it matter?

I've read more than a couple of news articles recently which report on a road traffic collision between cars and either cyclists or pedestrians. In all cases its obviously the more vulnerable road user that has come of worse, which is of course sad. So to my question/observation... In all the articl...

Re: Riding a bicycle without brakes

It appears to me that in the two clips the pedestrians stepped into the path of the oncoming riders whilst looking the wrong way. If a pedestrian steps into the path of a two wheeled vehicle, even if travelling at slow speed, the rider has little chance. In fact even if they can avoid hitting the p...

Re: Pros and cons of hi-vis

There maybe no statistical proof that any sort of hi-viz works, but in my own experience wearing it earns me more space from passing motorists. Yes I'm not a motorcyclist but a mere cyclist. The best kind I've found is the reflective 360 stuff - pro-viz stole a march but there are now various others...

Re: Cycling two abreast

I rarely ride with others, but I do take the primary position where I think appropriate - doing so once resulted in a rather unpleasant confrontation after someone decided to make a point...

Re: Run flats to 'normal tyres'

Just also bear in mind, different brands of Run-flat tyre ride significantly differently... On my Z4 I switched from using the OEM Bridgestone run-flat tyre over to Michelin's version (PS2 ZP) and it transformed the car... Current car rides on Dunlop Sport Max RT runflats and (aside from the sport s...
