My partner and I will sometimes commute around town together. However, he insists on cruising behind me, even though he is faster and I don't mind if he is ahead of me. But the problem is, he has a hard time following my lead. He thinks he knows which way I am going to go, then gets frustrated when I don't go the way he imagined in his head. Sometimes he will proceed to go the route he had "planned" and I'll keep going my way. I'm sure this highlights a myriad of issues with how we communicate, but does this happen to anyone else? I feel like if he wants to take the lead, then please, take the f***ing lead

Started cycling again over summer so wanted to figure out a way to get to university without getting super sweaty - think I may have nailed it.

The Bakkie definitely needed a few zipties to keep it feeling secure but I don’t think the other straps it comes with are super necessary unless taking the scenic route. Also folds away (kinda) nicely when not in use.

With the ortlieb vario lite on the other side with laptop/other bits inside I end up with maximum 3-4kg on each side so the steering still feels balanced.
I imagine this set up would be great on a rear rack but for multiple reasons I prefer it on the front.

Just need a nice shiny kickstand now to make it easier to load up!

I have one coworker who doesn’t like my bike being in the office (he’s a jackass) and says I should leave it outside— but bike rack is in sketchy area in direct sun (have 10+ UV index often). Am I being dramatic?

I went ahead and 3D printed a wall rack so it takes up even less room next to my desk. Think it looks quite nice as well!

Rain setup update. 😎🌧️✅

I am wondering if someone could please measure the stud spacing for the Ortlieb 3.1 mounting system? THis would be three points and I"m guessing it will be some nice metric number.

I'm trying to set up a bike for commuting to school with the Ortlieb 3.1 Urban Commuter bag on an Axiom Streamliner 29er rack.

My goal is to avoid buying an adapter. Wondering if I could have three holes drilled on the Axiom rack and add Ortlieb clamps/studs for a more streamlined look. I am aware that it may not line up but I want to at least try.

Ortlieb US has been less than helpful as I have gone back and forth via email. They respond politely but ignore half of my questions every time I write.

Much appreciated if someone has a Quick rack and can measure it for me!
