It seems like electric lawnmowers are substantially quieter too? I was outside yesterday and someone was using one and they were still wearing ear protection but from where I was in the street it was actually fairly quiet
electric blowers and mowers are way way quieter. gas mowers usually have at least some muffling but gas blowers are horrid.
electrics are also way smoother, no reciprocating mass makes them much less tiring to ride/hold

i have an electric mower and it's nice. easy to maintain and i don't have to worry about it not starting after sitting for months. only downside is since i never mow because gently caress mowing it struggles with the long rear end grass

I’m glad that they were able to pull off a miracle in 2017, but it’s certainly going to take a larger one this year. 2017 didn’t have any of this year’s weather issues.







It’s impressive that fully one in twenty people who attended the event both brought a bike and abandoned it.

oh drat that’s WAY more than I thought. when I left I didn’t see that many, but it’s a big place. there’s a crazy graveyard outside gerlach on the road in with thousands of bikes, but you can also buy / rent them there.

I brought one but left it in our container so it’ll be there for me next year.

I love all the pieces of 'traffic calming' infrastructure I have to ride through every day that squeeze the lane down to just wide enough for a car, I get the point is that it slows down cars but it also forces cars and bicycles into direct conflict on a street they'd otherwise have plenty of space to pass on. Buddy they didn't build this poo poo because of me, they built it because of you, so don't get annoyed about being temporarily stuck behind me.

I also love all the cars that race to pass me in situations where I'm guaranteed to be faster than them on my bike, most commonly when going down a hill with speed bumps or roundabouts. I know for a fact that no car ever gets stuck behind me when I'm cycling longer than I get stuck behind cars, but if I tried to past them back when I'm able to go faster they'll probably intentionally run me over.

any ebikes that were left behind definitely got stolen. I actually rode around looking for any abandoned ones on the last day, but it was just a bunch of junk bikes we already had a container full of. I'd guess nearly all of those bikes are $150 Walmart specials.

They just turned this series of traffic calming, which was a bit weird that the speed bump extended partially into the shoulder


Into this garbage and made it worse by adding bollards (my edit) that block the shoulder, forcing bikes into the lane.


The cars probably also don't love to see me rolling through the two dumb stop signs that road also has, but gently caress em the legislature passed two stop as yield laws and our dipshit governors don't have any common sense to sign the bills.

I went to Beyonce in Vancouver last night, in one of the few NA stadiums that's not completely surrounded by parking lots. Despite the venue being completely packed, the train rides there and back were not super stuffed, as they ran plenty of trains at the start and end of the concert.
There were drivers stuck waiting for minutes on end as pedestrians streamed out walking for the train, lol.
Trains rule, cars suck rear end!

Edit: Motorcycles also suck rear end, imagine being such an rear end in a top hat that you don't mind pissing off everyone within a quarter mile with your blasting fart noises every time you go anywhere.

It's weird that we just had a whole derail where the whole thread clowned on some burner dipshit and yet your posting is somehow immediately more cringe. Don't sweat it too much, we've all taken our licks ITT and others (I got dragged for complaining about sidewalk cyclists), but maybe recognize that a CSPAM thread dedicated to disparaging motor vehicles probably isn't the right place to champion completely nonsense 'loud pipes save lives' arguments. It's embarrassing, and I say that as someone who used to ride a GSX-R600 with an aftermarket exhaust that was loud. I had and continue to have zero defense for that kind of noise pollution, and I tried to minimize it in my own neighbourhood but it was just too fun - you know this - and the only correct response to noise pollution complaints is... I'm sorry.

Nice one, Punchy.
