KEI chat, got to ride in a few while working on farms in japan. they own and can off-road up mountains too.





also here's me getting pulled over on bike by a boy scout cop for a passport check. he said he saw us on the news and had a fan-boy moment before asking us if we stole the bikes lol. my friend almost got deported on her last day cause she didn't bring her passport with her on our field trip. also we biked there next to the highway cause all the roads have some form of sidewalk you can bike on.

that protected sidewalk/bike lane owns

it’s not even a nice one



through Boy Scout cop I also learned bikes are registered like cars to your name and address and they can look up your registration number on the bike in the field.

I yelled I’m walkin here at a guy who almost hit my dog and me at a stop sign. he was in a lifted jeep of course.

his response was “I didn’t see you”

“that’s your problem!”

i sold my car may 2019 to move to nyc, have not owned since. we trade living in a slightly more expensive urban part of portland for the transit access when we moved from nyc.

i chase remote roles and my partner is a nurse that only goes to work 3-4x max a week. all the hospitals are n transit lines. we really don't need a car.

we maybe drop like $100/m for an uber occasionally to get back and forth to suburban areas. we tried local taxi service but it's a bit more pricey. sometimes i miss the convenience but then think about the 10-15k a year we save.

i had an ex-coworker who also lives here an is mind blown about us not owning one. i caught up with him recently and he still was like, "why no own car?!?!"

I definitely would like to get out to hike more, but my partner works every other weekend and so the weekends he’s free we’re usually doing other things.

also, it’s like $300 a month for a garage spot in our apartment complex.:wtc:
