Nope.

Specifically because noobs that got their bikes less than a week ago doing mass rides are always a disaster.

I have done some of the Alternative Toyruns though which are great fun.

Ja look only you can say how comfortable you are in re-learning things.

It wasn't specifically aimed at you as such, that was more of a joke, but it is a real problem with these mass rides.

Sure. But also, these mass rides isn't going at 160km/h.

That's kind of the problem.

People can't handle their bikes at low speeds.

By the time I manage to press the button it's way too late and whatever was potentially going to happen already happened.

Not sure whether you got the same stock tweeter as me... but even pedestrians could not hear it, so yes it has been practical.

 

[SauRoNZA]

Mine is very German.

It screams "Achtung!!!" And then I get a fright even though I pressed the button.

Riding from the Ottery Hypermarket route (Southern Suburbs route).

Banggood is similar to AliExpress - ok if you're willing to wait 5 months.
The advantage is that your order is combined per warehouse, so you could have fewer parcels... good for a mass order.
It's not a free-for-all, so you don't get the worst items... but you'll still get junk.

The new Post Office App makes it a lot less painful.

Rode the bike into work this morning. Lekker.

It will improve your work day as well.

Get there bright and alert and ready for action.

Not a zombie like sitting in the car.
