  • It’s totally obscene. I traveled to the USA recently for 5 days and my options were:

    i) Pay Telus $14/day * 5days = $70 (plus tax)

    ii) Buy a US 30GB 10-day esim for $11.27 taxes included.

    Plus in option i) I’d be using the data from my own data plan. Unless you really need to be able to use SMS and receive calls, it’s really a no brainer. Especially with how easy esims are to setup, I just had to switch a setting in my phone when I crossed the border. Crazy part is, if it was ``only" twice the price, I’d probably have just paid Telus.










  • My experience is the opposite. The hours 3-6 feel more dangerous to me because many drivers are in a rush and very uncourteous. At night there are just way less cars on the road and in general they are much more courteous. However I generally don’t ride light enough for them to suffer from very bad sleep deprivation.







  • Honestly just need to find one that fits YOU and is safe.

    I got a Bontrager Spectre Wavecell because it felt the best on my head from all the helmets I tried and the tech is safe (MIPS is also very good).

    I wear it from -15°C to +30°C and it’s good for me. The helmet is not the problem outside this range, it’s just generally too hot/cold, it isn’t the top of my head that gets way too hot/cold. As long as you don’t get an aero helmet I think you won’t have any temperature problems.
