i was the only person who bike commuted to a workplace in oklahoma, and someone deflated my tires as a prank. i particularly remember my dad telling me not be angry when i told him about it.

when i lived in georgia, i nearly got hit by cars in a crosswalk multiple times a week while running my dog or running to work. i looked up what would happen if i chucked a cherry tomato at a car that almost killed us, and the charge was basically domestic terrorism.

And people are just going to crash them and get another one like whatever. true. in my town, a rich college student was speeding on a residential street, totaled his Tesla, and the batteries went flying through people's windows. that's when i learned, that Teslas had a bunch of small batteries.

it's been recurring that when i run my neighborhood loop with my dog, i nearly get run over at the roundabout crosswalk (where all the cars are already yielding to other cars), because people just wave at me and don't yield. two carbrains did it in a row today.

Peanut President posted:its really funny because I grew up in a small town in Indiana with communal trash and recycling. You have to drive but its meant to serve the town and rural community together and its actually rather convenient. Only problem is since it's upscaled for a town they have it out on the outskirts so people don't bitch about the smell. i used one of those in oklahoma, but every time i was there some random person would tell me that this all went to the landfill anyway

this one guy has a cool logging road cycling blog, and there are two fundamental axioms: The Fundamental Axiom Do not explore downhill. The MORE Fundamental Axiom NEVER ARGUE WITH ARMED STRANGERS ABOUT ANYTHING, FOR ANY REASON, ESPECIALLY IN, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CASES WHEN THEY ARE ENGAGED IN OBVIOUSLY STUPID ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR GUNS

i was the only bike commuter when i lived in oklahoma, and pickup trucks frequently threatened to run me over, and i had an open pop bottle thrown in my face and it spilled all over me as i was riding to my going away party. when i moved back to oregon, my first pickup interaction was a guy trying to turn and he was over the bike path from his driveway, and he backed up and apologized profusely. felt so good to be back.

lol, i was running with my dog across a 4 lane crosswalk, and when i cleared the first lane a car making a right lurched behind me, and i turned around in surprise and he stopped and gave me a death glare. i then gestured at the crosswalk sign in disbelief. driving is hard.

been meaning to this for awhile, but i slapped a hood of a car sitting in the MUP crosswalk at a red light as i crossed. i had another chance on the commute home, but the kid had is window opened and just said fail as i swerved around. almost got hit after getting milk from the store this morning from an suv coasting through the crosswalk to sneak in a right turn on a redlight lmao. support the troops because they put their own lives in danger, but i do that everyday just trying to bike around town.

nowhere is safe. quote:The group, a nonprofit organization with trained volunteers who assist in recovering stuck off-roaders around the state, first got the call about the stuck motorist on August 27 through their dispatch line. According to McBryde, the driver of the Arkansas-tagged vehicle, which The Drive identified as a GMC Canyon AT4, apparently “missed a sign” and drove up the increasingly precipitous hiking trail until his rear wheel slipped on the scree field and slid off the trail. While he managed to hike down into the nearby town of Alma, the truck remained trapped there, high on the slopes of Mt. Lincoln.

Ham Equity posted:I wonder how much damage the truck and the bobcat did to the mountain? drove right through a bristlecone pine scenic area...sure it's fine quote:Bristlecone Pine Scenic Area is located atop Windy Ridge at the eastern foot of Mount Bross. The winds from which the ridge gets its name have caused the trees to take on their weathered appearance. A native of the Rocky Mountains, these conifers are found at elevations that exceed 8,000 feet and are often found right at timberline. Colorado contains the most easterly found environments for bristlecone pines in the United States. This scenic area was established in 1967 to protect a unique grove of beautifully formed bristlecones, some of which are 800 years old.

epilogue to the truck abandoned on the colorado mountain. big surprise, the guy was a huge rear end in a top hat: https://www.advnture.com/news/pickup-truck-on-14er-removed quote:The truck's owner, believed to be stationed with the Air Force in Colorado Springs, initially balked at the price of having the truck extracted by Vail-based Mountain Recovery. Instead, he enlisted the services of Colorado 4 X 4, a non-profit recovery service, who shared in a Facebook post that their team of eight volunteers were unsuccessful despite a massive amount of manpower.

the death panel podcast has had a lot of fat-acceptance episodes, and i can't quite onboard with their argument that being inclusive equates watching netflix on the couch all afternoon with running a marathon. we inhabit biological bodies that are evolutionary primed to be on the move for survival.

there's a small roundabout in my neighborhood where the inner circle is like a sidewalk that is almost flush with the outer road circle. twice now while walking my dog, i've seen cars just fly straight through through over the sidewalk portion instead of making the bend.

it's still cornfields on the satellite. a larger roundabout nearby has a giant gravel pile in the middle, and every three months someone drives over the top of it and fills the roundabout with gravel tracks.

i did my first run commute with my dog today. the MUP crosses roads multiple times, and i entered the crosswalk when a woman driving in the right turn lane was slowly approaching the stop sign figuring she would stop. nope, she almost slow rolled into us until i yelled at her, and then she waved back at me. i feel like i am the "pay attention" fairy giving all these idiot drivers a fright when i'm biking or running, but so many close call encounters seem like bad odds for me.

in the middle of the crosswalk running with my dog, and a truck ripped right and almost hit us. when i yelled at him for almost murdering us, the young white supremacist-looking and wearing sunglasses when it was cloudy dark driver just coldly stared at me and gave me the finger from the steering wheel, and i screamed gently caress you as he sped away. i hope all the intersection bystanders enjoyed the show.
