This is why if I submit a review of a place, I include bike parking or the lack of it. Yes, even if I didn't bike there, because I may come back via bike some other time. I like my options, and a bike rack costs almost nothing. It makes no sense to not have it.

Fuel taxes actually pay very little of the budget for road maintenance. It's actually property taxes that pay for most of it. If you want fuel taxes to pay for roads, then fuel should be taxed at a much higher rate, and by the dollar rather than the gallon.

Remember. The "stay home and don't vote," posts you see online generally come from Russian propaganda bots. You can always write in "none of the above" if you don't like any candidates to send a message. Not voting at all is just laziness masquerading as activism.

To be a patriot is to love your country. To love your country is to want it to be its best, even if doing so may be hard. To want what's best for your country includes putting an end to the massive scam the auto manufacturers have been pulling on us for the last 100 years.

I'm starting to wonder of my riding style or just my fat ass are unusually hard on wheels. Both my wheels are in the bike shop being trued, and have had their axles work loose. Both I got less than a year ago.

Don't mind me laughing while Facebook fucking burns to the ground in an unprofitability fire fueled by the very AI bots it created.

Lots of people say they'd rather be taxed for spending on luxuries rather than taxed for just earning income. Here is the opportunity to actually do it.

Fun fact: Your AC will not save you from global warming. Beyond 115f (50c) it's too hot outside to relocate any more interior heat efficiently. Your SUV you bought to "feel safe" will become your coffin.

Misread that on the first pass as "I am AN artist." And suddenly my entire life made sense.

I relate to this. When you're so tired you need yo dream about sleeping, so you can sleep while you sleep for that double sleep.

When you have a dog, there is no such thing as sleeping in. Puppers have turned me into a total daylurker.

Great morning for a quick bike ride. Keeping a folding bike in the trunk for impromptu rides turned out to be a good idea.

Matchbox puts out a lot of reasonable utility vehicles. I use them for drawing reference. I'm glad such mundane things still get represented.

So Boomers are pretty messed up, but to be fair they were raised by a generation with undiagnosed PTSD. WWII being a continuation of WWI, which itself was the culmination of disputes lingering since the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. So next time a Boomer acts like a fool, blame Napoleon.

Fast swapping packs would require an amount of standardization thay doesn't even exist in gas cars. Replaceable packs, even if a cooling system must go with it, are what's going to be needed. Plrnty of people buy a 10 year old car intending to drive it at least 10 more. Serviceability is a must.

I don't live in a major city, and can count the number of women I see bike commute on one hand. That's why this is an interesting topic. Being male I can't fully see the other side's view, but I am left to wonder what the deciding factor is when I've observed harassment to be universal.

American here, so take what I say with a pile of salt. All genders seem to get harassment from drivers over here, though the specific harassing words (slurs) used probably vary based on identity. I see plenty of women recreationally cycling on the trails, but very few doing it for actual commuting.

Big brain conspiracy theory: The Cybertruck was awful on purpose to prove that giant trucks are terrible even when they're electric.

Ice cold take that's 10 years too late: I love micromobility. Biking, skating, scooting, even monowheeling, but there's no way to ride a hoverboard that doesn't make you look like a massive tool.

That's a tough one. Gas lines were notoriously leaky and unreliable, so continuing to use them for anything similar is trouble. I only see 3 ways forward. 1. rip up and recycle. 2. repurpose (maybe for conduit), or 3. forget and leave them to rust away.

Gas (methane) had a job of giving existing power plants a prolonged life while we got new solar/wind/nuclear and other clean generation methods up and running. The ease of conversion to gas from coal did help cut coal particulate pollution at least. Its job is done now. Time to wrap up and move on.

Yesterday a whole crank arm fell off my bike. My fault for not checking the screw tension regularly. Thankfully nothing stripped, and the screw landed right next to it. Imagine my surprise at "what's that wobble?" CLANK

I pronounce both bike repairs and self repairs a success. Today I returned to bike commuting, 2 months to the day since the crash.

New bike day. Got me a Zizzo Ferro folding bike. Small enough to be a carry on on a train, or fit in the trunk of the car. It's less for getting somewhere as it is for getting around a place once I get there.

The only car exclusive roads should be railroads. To train cars of course.
