Do they make ziploc bags big enough for bikes?

Might see you Saturday or Sunday. Planning on riding there both days. Hit me up!

Everyone I know that puts bikes on their roof has at one point driven into a garage/parking deck with a bike up there. And by everyone, I mean, 100%, and I know a lot of bike people. Get a hitch.

This is one time where I'm not just give you a hard time. Hang something from your rearview mirror or something.

Yea I know it’s a risk, but I just couldn’t get over the potential permanent modifications to the car.
My Sun roof is always open so I’ll see it up there and I never even pulled in the garage with the hitch rack cause its too wide. So I don’t think their is any major retraining needed.
I maybe park in a deck 3x a year, none of which would ever involve a Bike being on the roof.

Do they even have parking garages in Richmond?

The one Altria is building will be the "3" part.

Found out Wal Mart heavily discounted some of their Anker products. One of which was the Roav A0 dash cam, for $13!
So I grabbed the 3 they had to slap on our cars. Front and Rear on the BMW. Front on the Mazda. Hopefully I can snag a forth one as a rear cam for the Mazda.
Quality is pretty darn good.
Enjoy my morning drive home from Starbucks.

Walkable community that is not. Interesting to see where folks settle down.

Yep, we are "out there" but a 10min drive to everything we need. Plus im 3 houses away from our pool/clubhouse.
I kinda wish we had atleast tried urban life prior to kids vs going straight to a house.

It is now $39 and out of stock. Damn

not bad. kinda tough to make out plate numbers, and hopefully nighttime resolution is OK but at the end of the day it'll do in 99% of situations where you simply need to have a basic idea of the accident (which way did the car come from, how hard was the hit, deer jump out where, etc). can't go wrong for 13. i'm definitely rotating one of our cams to back window as well when its time to upgrade the front one again.

Was waiting for abrupt and hard smash/stop pulling into garage due to bikes on the roof.
