I love how whenever I get mentioned you pop up to mention how mad you are about me owning you in some argument I don't even remember

stay angsty

"Huh, why does this sleepy thread have so many new- oh."

You sure showed me how smart you are! It's not really about any argument, your posting is just noticeably bad.

There is an empty lane right there! Cars need that lane. Actually, I see another empty lane next to the bike lane [points at sidewalk].

parallel parking is really cool because it creates blind spots that hide children from drivers who will be turning across the sidewalk into driveways

combine it with suburbia, where drivers never expect to see anybody walking, ever, and wow!

descending on a bike is one of my favorite things. the bike is my trusty stead, she can handle more than i can, all i have to do is be confidant and guide her within both our limits.

riding brakes down long descents is bad. they need a heat difference to convert your kinetic energy into thermal energy, and constant rubbing causes heat to continuously build up. breaking in harder bursts with a cooldown between will keep them fresher and prevent fading or damage.
Sitting upright to catch more wind also helps control speed. Also, PSA that everyone should know how to use their front brake properly so you actually have braking power in a hard stop/don't spin your tail out in wet weather. Most people get taught as children to not use it.

Car brain destroyed my nieces' nine knowledge. They're my brother in law's kids, and when the oldest moved to Copenhagen from Car Country, I had to teach her such advanced concepts as inflating the tyres and lubricating the chain. Her bike was also the cheapest poo poo two sizes too small.

Anyway, here's some bike parking at the busiest station in Copenhagen. I took the picture ages ago to remember where I parked, but I think it serves as anti car porn in this thread.

I made a joke that people were going to blame the building for being weak lol and of course its true.

It's cool that one lovely out of control driver and destroy multiple businesses and probably apartments/homes and I bet there will be no consequences to the driver.

the business on the left side of the building is a coffee shop and the only one that was open at the time. it would have been a massacre if they’d hit there

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Yes I get that but sometime after I turned 30ish I got unreasonably afraid of hills. Same thing happened to me with snowboarding. I have to basically take anti anxiety meds or drink to let go enough to not be having a panic attack and shaking the entire time.

I was a bomb down the hill on my bike kid and jumped out of trees and flew off the swings kid. Idk somewhere along the way my brain went "ah gently caress u are totally mortal as gently caress"
