Don’t stop there. Whoever is responsible for giving him the job in the first place should also be axed. And really, anyone that voted to confirm him should also lose their job.

Pretty spot on. The left has demonstrated recently they understand the power of collective action (buy nothing days, Tesla boycotts). Imagine the impact if these same people just stopped eating beef.It costs you nothing, hell it saves you money. Until Indiv. are willing to change why should systems?

The biggest advantage the suburbs have is the lack of competition for space. Building paths doesn’t take space away from cars so there is less conflict. Ebikes make the distances between destinations manageable.

I have a 1960s open floor plan home. Poorly insulated with shit windows. Boiler heat with base board radiators. 5 different zones. Boiler is very old and needs replaced but I have no idea how to shift without spending 25-50k…

No idea about the intentions of this psychic. They could be totally well intentioned. For some attendees this is probably a type of therapy. Doesn’t change the fact that this is deceptive. People can be helped in the grieving process without lying to them or pushing a belief in falsehoods.

Any idea where I can find some of the old Cero accessories? I understand they made all sorts of bags and racks etc. They are seemingly tough to find.

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.

The only benefit of sharrows is to ride over them on your bike and pretend you hit a Mario Cart speed boost!

Basically we have a rapidly growing town between Denver and colo springs. Old school residents panic about any new development and the higher the density the more they freak out.The downtown has had some awesome improvements (that the old people hate) but the rest is just low density sprawl.

Agree. It’s pretty bad. I went to the meeting and the gist is: the land is going to be developed. It’s currently unincorporated county land.The town wants to annex so they have more say etc. It’s sprawling by design so nearby homeowners don’t balk at the annexation.

Generally, I think more housing is good (because other humans exist). The current plan looks pretty sprawly and it essentially eliminates a massive open wild grassland ecosystem. It's also in the middle of the town so COULD actually improve biking/walking connectivity if done thoughtfully...

Yep… Bernie, Hillary, Warren, Biden, Kamala. And I know many many more guys that voted the same.

When does the press just say “what the fuck are you even talking about!?”

Obviously. That’s not what they are suggesting. What these studies show is that if you get an ebike you will 1. Ride to work more often. 2. Start using your bike for other things like running errands etc. Ebikes are way more likely to replace car trips. That’s why you end up with more exercise.

Isn’t that how it works now? Regulations only exist because they were deemed necessary and added in at some point.

Thanks Arleigh. I keep scouring the used market for an e-cargo bike and found a basically new Fatte for $1000. It’s a good price, but only if the bike is solid of course

Trying to imagine the public response if my fellow teachers and I started submitting all of our non-contract working hours for overtime pay…

During Covid, I got several world famous scientists to zoom into my high school science classes because I hit them up on twitter. Wild

Hmmm… now I’m brainstorming a small side business that could justify this purchase.

Had they gone the small, inexpensive, Maverick competitor route they would have sold hundreds of thousands

Didn’t even know what an urbanist was. Climate change pushed me to bike. Biking pushed me to look at transportation differently. From there “urbanism” was the natural consequence.

Here is the Christmas gift. A little weird lol but the three animals are our skinny mischievous cat, our lazy fat cat, and the little dog that gets waaaay to many table scraps
