Would rather be a 'remoaner' than a traitor.
E-cyclist and cyclist. In a good year 60 miles/week average.
LC sufferer with parosmia & cacosmia.
Adenomyosis and endometriosis survivor after a 25 yr delay in diagnosis.
Sadly estranged from family for my own mental health and wellbeing. I'm the scapegoat...

@pete@masto.hypertelia.com When you're on a shared cycle route and pedestrians are walking away from you in the middle of the path, if you can't be heard, you are stuck behind them until such time as they notice you there. It can take several minutes. It's not to do with priority, it's that often they do not share, and don't take notice of shouts, dings or anything else and when you eventually overtake them they have been known to shout at me because they claim I've not warned them by ringing my bell. 🙄

@pete@masto.hypertelia.com Noise cancelling headphones have their place, but their place is not on a shared cycle path.

@ClintonAnderson@universeodon.com @Pionir@masto.bike @pete@masto.hypertelia.com @zebulonmysterioso@mas.to I suggest you read my comments again. I'm not repeating myself and I believe some of these responses are made in bad faith. It's not Twitter and people are behaving like it is. Wrong side of bed? 🙄😫

@dan@discuss.systems You're missing a bike and an antiqueted PC, and maybe some craft, but you did call it a starter pack, so maybe that's a bit advanced.

@nirak@carhenge.club @dramypsyd@ohai.social I have a 2 min idiot delay. It's saved me countless times and is as a result of many incidents of me being an idiot.

@ClintonAnderson@universeodon.com @pete@masto.hypertelia.com That's fine but if you're walking in the middle of a cycle path completely unaware of anything and everything around you, don't be surprised if people get a bit pissed off at you if you're preventing them from passing.

@digichelle@hachyderm.io If someone asks me why I'm not drinking, I will literally scare/bore them to death talking about parosmia as a result of a COVID infection. It will scare/bore them sufficiently that they'll wish they'd never asked. That'll teach them! 🤷 #CovidsNotOver #Alcohol #Parosmia

@jfparis @MatthewNewell I love Lyon. You were very lucky! We were there during a lot of thunderstorms, and the view from the cathedral area was incredible.
