Ripley AF (rental) - not obvious from the photo but check out that massive stem, probably 100-110? I liked it downhill, although made it a bit tricky to keep weight centered on tricky climbs.

At the risk of starting the obvious; 1: lower weight 2: aerodynamics (can you hop on someone’s wheel??) 3: no hard acceleration 4: go slower These are key from several years of EV usage, especially 2.

Are you implying using nuclear weapons at the end of WW2, when no other country had them and like 17 other factors were different, to “uh oh grandpa just nuked Winnipeg!”

Any driver that can be that distracted by a flashing bike light is a significant danger to pedestrians as well. They should get off the road or at least not drive at night.

Boomer complaint incoming: they used to put binders in every hotel room and they don’t do that anymore. I just want to know pool hours and breakfast options.
