Here in the midwestern US, the only people who ride bikes are kids and the drunks who've lost their licenses to DUI. You'd need a death wish to ride a bicycle on most non-residential streets.

Do it ironically posted:

...maybe he just doesn't care if he dies

There's this gem of a statement. So :shrug:.

Bicycles are a perfectly viable and functional form of transportation. I honestly enjoy biking. It's calming and reasonably cathartic outside of a dense urban environment, allowing you plenty of time to reflect on life and poo poo. It's basically the cheapest form or rapid transit (walk 20 miles, and bike 20 miles). The automotive demagogues have really reinforced the notion that the roads only exist for their benefit. While that's partially true (improved roads being created primarily for ease of automotive travel) it still doesn't outweigh the right for people to use the PUBLIC roads as they legally see fit.

I know your statement is anecdotal, but the meat of the statement is perturbing to say the least. I'm a filthy poor with little economic mobility and bikes are cheap to buy, easy to maintain, and get me where I need to go cheaply and more quickly than walking at a fraction of the cost (both environmental and social) of quicker forms of transit.

That's all. I'll stop my somewhat self-righteous derail.

Why was a 5" disc needed when you have a 4.5" disc that had all the proper safety procedures? This seems like extra work just to endanger yourself.

Winch line was all hosed up, wrapped under itself etc, so needed to be cut off.
The drum itself wasn't very wide, and the ummmm sides were tall. So the body of the grinder would hit the drum and the 4 1/2" blade wouldn't get in there far enough.

Omaha here. Lots of hills that make biking challenging, as well as terrible roads and sidewalks, and fast drivers. I still bike (since I have a half mile commute to work), but once the road surface becomes even slightly obscured by snow it’ll be too dangerous.

Is that bike on the highway? Most highways near me have a "don't bike here" law because of the risk. That trucker was a POS for sure and - whether or not those bikes could be there - didn't have a right to keep going in an exit lane.

As a driver I'm 100% for bike reserved lanes to be drawn, it's safer and usually comes with bike/pedestrian specific traffic lights/signs. The problem is when pro-status bikers don't use them on a street/road that was made narrower to make a bike lane in and they still ride in the car lanes like goddamn morons.

I see you have been to Minneapolis! We have all these loving bike lanes drawn, many with big reflective posts between the bike lane and car lane, and some roads with two bike lanes so they can have opposing traffic without dodging each other in the off chance there's two people on bikes both using the bikes lanes and going in opposite directions (lol). I've seen a grand total of three bikes in 5 years on those loving things. All the other bike riders go down the sidewalk while clipping elbows/shoulders, or down the car lane.

Make bikes have license plates and driver's licenses like cars and give them tickets for not riding in the specifically made lanes they loving cried so hard to get. Or just melt everyone's bikes down and use the metal for pedestrian bridges, I don't care which.
