The end of that session made it very clear that I need them, probably looking at another week before I have enough skin back on my knee to get out there again and I'm just starting to make some real progress so this sucks. My god don't practice on pavement.

City's just installed some big fuckoff speed bumps on our street and I'm positively giddy. The concept of curb extensions (really, removing curb cuts) is foreign to the city planners here so this is the next best thing. Watching cars having to actually slow down instead of trying to take as much of a racing line as they can at every intersection never gets old.

There's a reason they call Aluminum congealed electricity "a recent study calculated the lifecycle emissions of a carbon fiber electric cargo cycle to be 80 gCO2 per kilometer – only half those of an electric van (158 gCO2/km)" lol who the gently caress rides, let alone makes a CFC cargo bike? Whining about ebikes is also hilarious, when making one emits about as much co2 an american car puts out in 3 weeks. evil_bunnY has issued a correction as of 18:28 on Aug 22, 2023 |

Peanut President posted:i will let pedestrians go and will ride behind slow riders on the path (like kids or old people) but i will absolutely elbow a pedestrian on the "bike" part of the path, especially when the path is split and ESPECIALLY when there's signage. Get the gently caress outta here. Same dudes that squeeze you when they're in their car because they think every space belongs to them and they can do whatever they want.
