Help picking out a new yoga mat. by notreallyyourideain yoga

[–]elephantjournal 0 points1 point ago

Health-wise, both personally and for our future landfills, it's good to stay away from PVC. "No on vinyl, and that's final" as grist.org says.

I use a think, invincible Manduka, I recommend their eKo. Also Jade has a good "green" mat.

Safeway vs Sunflower vs Whole Foods by trickysterin boulder

Mmm, good to hear. I haven't been impressed when I visited, but I typically go to Alf's (I bike, it's in my neighborhood), so I'm not a regular.

TIL In 1998, the [Beastie Boys] asked The Prodigy not to play “Smack My Bitch Up” at the Reading Festival. by elephantjournalin todayilearned

The early perception of their sarcastic party boy lyrics is, apparently, why Yauch became so vocal re respect to women later on: http://www.reddit.com/r/quotes/comments/taroq/i_wanna_say_a_little_something_thats_long_overdue/

Road Rides in Boulder? by megluestain boulder

[–]elephantjournal 0 points1 point ago

First solo ride I went on I got a flat out near Superior...changed 80% of the tire, found I had the wrong-sized tube (thanks, bike shop). So sign me up!

Safeway vs Sunflower vs Whole Foods by trickysterin boulder

[–]elephantjournal 9 points10 points ago

Not seeing them mentioned...but if organic/healthy is important to you, skip Whole Foods/Sprouts/Alfalfa's/Sunflower and go to Vitamin Cottage. It's not as hip as the other eco groceries, and the produce section is weak, but much of the exact same stuff at Whole Foods is 20% more.

And Alfalfa's, which I love, they're local and independent, is 10% more than Whole Foods. Ouch.

I just searched Google Images for "Twain." 95% are Shania. Reddit, how can we do something about this? by elephantjournalin AskReddit

[–]elephantjournal[S] 0 points1 point ago

That's kinda the point...to reverse that (but only in the case of Twain, we still want our porn).

I didn't say why...I asked how? Let's promote links or something, get Mark on top of Shania.

Use the whole lane if you need to! by linuxwesin bicycling

[–]elephantjournal 0 points1 point ago

I nearly got killed the other day, going down 9th St. in Boulder, Colorado, because I had the nerve to ride four feet off the curb, still toward the right edge of the lane, where obscure signs says "bikes use lane."

A car nearly hit me, passing me on the left.

So you can't win, when there's no lane.

Another amazing new Indian place...on Folsom and Arapahoe, in the shopping mall where Pier One Imports is. Anyone else been there?

Road Rides in Boulder? by megluestain boulder

[–]elephantjournal 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty new on the road--last summer was my first road biking around Boulder--my big and really only remaining insecurity that keeps me from getting out there more is if I get a flat. I really don't know how to change tires well, I tried once. Is there a class or something I can take somewhere? I'd love to be getting out there more without feeling like any ol'nail or glass could leave me stranded a 100 miles from civilization.

Values approximate by tubeguyin bicycling

[–]elephantjournal 0 points1 point ago

Amen. Last time in LA I had meeting in Venice, left by bike Hollywood about same time as the guy (BMW) I was meeting (we didn't know we were both in Hwood to begin with).

I arrived at cafe 30 mins before him.
