there's a place around here where there's a perfectly good bike path five feet from the road but tilde serious cyclists tilde don't use it because performance or pedestrians or whatever so they just bike in the loving street

it's not an especially wide street so sometimes you end up stuck behind an rear end in a top hat sweating his rear end off trying to get uphill

get on the bike path rear end in a top hat

there are normally pretty sensible *reasons* why bikers don't use a path, usually involving 3 wide stroller convoys with fluffy on a 25 foot leash and the tendency of motorists to not look at/block the path when turning. some people are just inconsiderate assholes tho and i am sorry you have to stare at their rear end for a bit.

what if instead of carrying your bike like a shoulder bag, you fit little wheels to it so you can roll it around like luggage

That carry bike thing in all honesty isn't the worst of ideas. I know some folks who live in apartments and have to carry their bike up 3-4 flights of stairs. That would be useful for them.

Since 1947, the amount of money spent on highways, roads and streets has exceeded the amount raised through gasoline taxes and other so-called “user fees” by $600 billion (2005 dollars), representing a massive transfer of general government funds to highways.

the correct way to picture a bike is with the valve stems at the bottom, the chain on the outermost gears, and the cranks at anything but 90 degree intervals, with the chain towards the camera

diagrams of ships always show the starboard side, so pointing to the right maybe it's the same thing with bikes, bikes and bike people are weird

bikes are unnatural, poo poo can't stand on two wheels. it's like helicopters, there's just something unholy about the whole thing
