Casual Cycle
Any recommendations? I don't know if I want to splash out on something expensive. I was thinking of getting some cheap tat to act more as a deterrent, but then I thought, what if I actually need the footage? My commute is pretty short, but the amount of drivers who are happy to risk my life to shave 5 seconds off their journey is a problem. Would any £5 cheapo camera make drivers think twice before trying to run me into the kerb or am I better off getting a decent quality camera? I'm cool with refurb/second hand.
This randomly popped into my head this morning My friend had one, It was peak cool for a 6-year-old. Mine had red wheels though it was called hot wheels it didn't have sound effects  What was your first bike and first coveted bike? Did you get your dream bike off the bat?
The biggest issue with this frame was a dent on the lower tube, I didn't have any decent blocks of wood to make a frame roller, so the wife and I spent yesterday making them as a 3d print. While it didn't completely remove the dent, it did help make it smaller. Before  After: the paint wearing was from sanding down ready for painting not the blocks  
Sanded the frame back and treated the rust not a huge amount the worst part was the fender bracket. Currently waiting for the krust to do it's thing before giving it an acf50 paint
The used steel frame I recently brought has arrived, a bit of rust here and there are some scuffs and such, but I plan to sand it back and respray, so these aren't issues. Threads look good all round. Going to have to put together the parts I have and slowly buy the ones I need. Going to be a fun project for sure.
Benefit of going slow enough to notice things
Found Dan's story and personality to be really engaging. I know videos don't go down too well but anyone looking for something to listen to this Friday might be interested.
A really random low-key suggestion from YouTube at lunch turned out to be some ancient-buried gold from back when YouTube was much better.

This focuses on the BBSHD, but they cover a lot of the terminology, with the focus on using the ebike part as an assist and for cargo bikes and not a replacement. It should be applicable to anyone with the ability to configure their e-bikes.
I use the ev-12 every day kind of low-key wish to do a whole one some day
Had a lot of trees down in my area and I picked up the most perfectly stright blackthorn right through the guard material of my marathon plus'
