Hampton Inn Breakfast: Embassy Suites Breakfast:

The Homewoods and Hamptons don't actually have a restaurant. Just a breakfast area where they set out coffee, juices, bread for toasting, fruit, cereal, a waffle machine, and some serving trays with eggs, bacon or sausage, etc. It isn't very good. The Embassys have cooks that will make omelets...

Every Homewood Suites and every Hampton Inn offers a free breakfast included. It's not a good breakfast, but these chains are all over the country and in many small towns. Every Embassy Suites offers a free made to order breakfast. My points are with Hilton, but I have stayed at many Marriot...

This is a bunch of nonsense. I am a very picky eater and there are a lot of things I won't eat. I have travelled the world for work and have always been able to find places with food I could eat. Singapore was difficult, but I didn't starve there. Trying a Mexican restaurant in Australia was a...

The bike without the Grin kit was probably closer to $3K. Still $2K is not bad at all for the complete bike if you can ignore the gaudy blue cable housing.

Also, I paid as much for my wife's Brompton Electric and I hate that bike.

It's always more to build from a frame than buy a complete bike. I knew what I was signing up for when I started the project.

I thought British humor was supposed to be dry and sarcastic. MTA: Try this "Jeremy, you totally get me. You are a brother from another mother. Speaking of which, remember that time you tried my mother's cooking? Good times!"

I have had my share of close calls riding my bike. I still don't think it would be worth the hassle to ride with a camera. That said, I just bought Viofo dash cams for my wife and myself for our cars. My wife was in a fender bender where someone tail ended her at a stop sign a few months ago...

My Disc Trucker has a Grin GMAC kit on it. Not a single component on that bike could be considered cheap or low quality. I built it up from a frame like you just did (I went with black cable housing so it looks better, though :)). I probably have $4000-$5000 invested in it. Hub motors have a bad...

I am afraid there is no help for you then. Charcoal flavored coffee from Starbucks is a safe haven? Really?

Something is missing from the translation. Starve, meaning you can't find anything to eat? Or starve meaning you are craving it? Because it is pretty easy to find just about anything you want in the United States. Most American barbecue restaurants even feature kielbasa sausages on the menu...

It's good question. I am embarrassed to say I don't. But hopefully the ones I have (KMC, I think) will get me home. I don't have any 12 speed drive trains at the moment. But I keep a separate kit on each bike, so each one can be customized. MTA: I just checked and I'm good: "Compatible with...

Perhaps, but you also like hot drinks made from fermented black bread and ride your bike in blizzards. ;) My mother's parents were from England. I can live without the liver and onions and boiled meat. That said, I didn't have any trouble finding good food on my one visit to the UK. It's...

Does nobody carry a couple of Quick Links / Missing Links in their field tool kit? They hardly take up any room in the bag.

"to Foulness Island" That should have been his first clue.

You don't have to steer in Zwift. You can follow the preset course. However, you have the option to turn when you get to an intersection. The buttons allow you to do that without messing with your phone or computer keyboard while on the bike. They also give you shortcuts to some of the other...

Honestly, if you are planning to use it with Zwift anyway I would give it a try with the Zwift Click before replacing the cog with a cassette. It looks pretty cool and Zwift is a fun way to ride indoors. The Apple TV and Zwift app makes it easy to turn on Zwift before you ride. MTA: It looks...
