You develop natural rear end pads like a baboon.

sitting on those lil seats for extended periods can wreck your junk fyi, like permanent dysfunction/nerve damage

if it's painful dont try pushing past that, definitely don't try to wait until the pain (and all other general nerve sensation) stops, it's not like getting calluses from playing an acoustic guitar or something, it's not surface stuff that's being beat up or aggravated, it's the base of your spinal column & not worth risking loving up if it's painful, better to just get a seat that dont hurt

A little soreness when you start riding is one thing, but yeah if you’re in actual pain or if you have numbing, that’s not normal. Don’t keep riding like that.

walked my dogs near many cars today. one car stopped and began to roll down its windows in a threatening posture so I prepared my defenses, but he merely wished to tell me that my dog was very pretty.

I walked my dogs separately (not at once) and therefore at that time the driver only witnessed a single dog.

apparently this is happening? some of my coworkers live in the burbs and we were having an end of year lunch before the holiday, and a few guys were going on about how they were all trying to up their neighbors by buying more and more expensive golf carts to ride around their neighborhoods (but they dont actually play golf). i guess suburbanite golf carts are a thing now? i assumed this kind of stuff only happened in florida until recently

Let me introduce you to Peachtree City, Georgia.

Newer suburban sprawl in northern metro Atlanta is designed similarly with golfcarts in mind. My mom's neighborhood does golfcart parades for every holiday, and there are MUPs everywhere with the carts in mind. People want this stuff, but you have to convince them that it's their idea.

If you want golf-cart-topia visit The Villages in Florida.

It's still suburban sprawl with absolutely zero transit, and strodes everywhere, but also there's seperate multimodal paths for seniors with impaired reaction times to drive their kitted out golf carts around without any safety restraints.

i rode my cargo bike today. downtown to run a few errands, which probably didn't really need the cargo bike, and then off to the grocery store. the free bike valet downtown is so good. just hand your bike to them and run off to do whatever you want downtown.

i call the cargo bike crabby

getting back into bike commuting this summer, my rear end really hurt. quickly enough it adapted and was fine, but i was like, what exactly gets tougher?

My taint falls asleep when I'm riding with my six year old to school, but wakes up when I go back past my home to the office. The reason is that kiddo is loving slow, so I'm actually sitting hard on the seat instead of sitting lightly because my legs are lifting my butt from the treading. So maybe you just got stronger or better at not sitting hard?
