If you live in an apartment you're at the mercy of your landlord to install something - unless you don't have an off street parking space in which case you're just hosed.

Overheard an ad on the local radio for an app that gives you rebates on gas: "Dude, don't walk!"

the bitcoin of weed posted:biked to work today it was lovely aside from having to smell car fumes at the points that required me to cross a busy street. imagine if there were no cars and you could just bike directly in the road, with other bike chads, how lovely would that be There are a lot of american roads that would probably be great if you rode bikes

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:I'm not guaranteed a parking space in front of my house or even on my block. sounds like some lazy rear end here doesn’t want to lobby the city to semi-privatize street parking by letting HOMEOWNERS own sole right to park in a space outside their home operated by a reservation and ticketing tech company bing bong it’s simple, now you always have a spot for a $240 month parking pass entitlement think of all that revenue going to waste

that owns but it would require the government to do 1 more thing and thats just not feasible. we're lucky that they bother clearing (most, not all) sidewalks . i walk to work year round but i'm lucky and live close by. still half the route doesnt get cleared lol

That's great. This is much better than my experience biking through Philly in the winter. Didn't stop me though. I'm not sure if it's better or worse than Pittsburgh for biking. I can bike around a lot of Houston, but arterial roads and highways really gently caress me (and pedestrians) over. The only way to cross bayous and highways is on arterial roads. In most of the city I bike in slow local streets, but the car centered infrastructure just forces you onto a four lane road with Ford F150s at 45 mph at those choke points. It's still better than the suburbs that prevent any biking along slow local roads because each neighborhood only has one or two entrances to a 60 mph highway.

it's been recurring that when i run my neighborhood loop with my dog, i nearly get run over at the roundabout crosswalk (where all the cars are already yielding to other cars), because people just wave at me and don't yield. two carbrains did it in a row today.

A few years ago I saw an old lady fall in the street and smack her head on the floor, knocking her out cold. The paramedics arrived amazingly quickly, it could only have been two or three minutes but the lady was still not responding and there was a trickle of blood running toward the gutter. The chances of this head injury occurring were probably much, much greater than my chance of sustaining a head injury riding a bike at 10mph down a canal towpath yet no-one thought to criticise the old lady for not wearing a helmet. weird

Sphyre posted:https://twitter.com/BrentToderian/status/1533458186589483009 Alright I was digging back looking for the calvin's dad sicko image and actually looked at this study and it's basically bullshit. quote:Overall physical activity is higher among e-bikers than among cyclists (4463 vs. 4085 MET minutes per week), although the difference was small (<10%) and not significant (p-value among the three bicycle type groups is below 0.001 but confidence interval of e-bikers and cyclists overlap). Both e-bikers and cyclists were significantly more active than non-cyclists. The largest difference between e-bikers and cyclists was reported in terms of work-related activity (physical activity done at work), while travel-related physical activity was similar. Physical activity from active travel modes was almost the same in e-bikers and cyclists (1735 vs. 1656 MET min/wk., respectively). So the bulk of the difference in MET minutes a week actually comes from self-reported work related activity, not from the cycling itself:  Somehow the e-bike group reported nearly double the level of work related activity compared to cyclists and non-cyclists in a sample of over 7k people? That seems... super unlikely. Personally I would also quibble a bit with the MET values used for cycling vs. e-bike (6.8 vs 5.0) but it's mostly fine I guess. For cycling that represents roughly under 19km/h, whereas any more than that is pushing upwards of 8 MET. For the e-biking that value comes from an estimate from 1 study of 20 participants using pedelecs, although 5 MET for pedelec e-biking doesn't seem that crazy. Anything with more assistance is gonna be a lower MET value though and the above doesn't control for what sort of e-bike was being used at all. Also found it funny that the study shows that people substituting an e-bike for a traditional bike end up getting less exercise overall lol.
