both of you sound annoying as gently caress to be around.

so your friend didn't want to ride a bike but they were fine walking? that's the problem here?

it was fine? we just lost about 90 minutes - 2 hours walking every day, vs biking and being at the destinations we wanted to be. we also hiked 23 kilometers on top of that

isnt the point of the gym to be fit enough to do the fun things like walking with friends?

if you need an exercise intervention to be able to walk, that's PT / OT

I lift to make performing my job easier, and do things like helping my friends move

leisure walking in beautiful, relaxing, or invigorating places > utilitarian walking so you can move from one location to another

personally, I'd prefer to bike here:

so I can spend more time enjoying the sun and water, and then save my energy for walking around here:



rather than walking through unremarkable back alleys and along roads with cars

no, the point of exercise is to eat tons of food

I do my exercise outdoors normally and I've been using an exercise bike in the hotel gym and it kinda blows

The first thing we do, let's kill all the cars.
Grimey Drawer


quote:

A Toronto man who struck and killed a woman and her dog on a Leslieville sidewalk in April 2015 has been found not guilty of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death.

...

Justice Peter Bawden said the big question in the case is, “Was it a marked departure from what a reasonable driver would have done?” referring to the Fekre reaching for the water bottle.

Jesus loving Christ. The reasonable driver would drive their car up on a sidewalk and mow down a pedestrian.

Biking and rollerblading are the only things I like and I don't have either here, so I go for walks when I can and otherwise just working. The exercise bike said I did 22mph for an hour, so that's pretty cool. No idea how accurate that is

It's perfectly cool and legal to hit a pedestrian or a cyclist with your car here This guy who drove his truck the wrong way down a one way street, entered a protected bike lane, and hit a cyclist was only charged with entering a bike lane, the penalty for which is a $150 fine. This guy hit and killed a cyclist, charged with "turn not in safety", a $110 fine. You too can come to Toronto and take a human life for the price of a nice dinner!

so while I personally expended a huge amount of time and effort to responsibly do something with as small a footprint as possible and put in the work to leave no trace it doesn’t matter because the news found a bunch of people who didn’t do that.

drat, good thing a bunch of people in this thread rode their bikes to work.

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.

That's honestly kind of impressive. I wouldn't know how to gently caress up that badly if I stood there and carefully planned out my approach.

I have a bicycle but I am very bad at riding it


also I bought it online and despite the bicycle website saying i should be the appropriate height for it I think I'm too short


I am vaguely considering buying a feet forward moped instead. I work from home but the nearest grocery is either 3 miles down a highway or 5.2 miles on rural roads.

Although - I guess cargo tricycles are a thing? And probably cost the same as a Honda whatever...
