If you go deep *at all* on life sciences, “biology is complicated” should be a primary takeaway.
Experts demonstrate humility regarding their own knowledge and specifically predictions.

This is great! My cargo ebike weighs over 80 pounds, and I don’t have a viable way to transport it without disassembly.

My proposal for stop signs could apply here too: tire shredders that deploy when a vehicle of sufficient weight approaches at sufficient speed.
City is automatically notified so they can tow and issue a citation.

I’m sure you’ve seen the excellent The Barkley Marathons. If you’re interested in a similarly daunting challenge on bike, check out Ride the Divide!

I think she’s in Minnesota, but the law may be similar. I believe that’s basically how it reads in my home state of Missouri.

And for the “cyclists also break the law” crowd, get yourself right first. Then consider the actual risks posed by:
A) bike plus rider, tiny footprint, 200 pounds, unobstructed view and hearing; and
B) typical SUV, huge footprint, >4000 pounds, view blocked by pillars/hood, quiet cabin.

Ooh, nice. Mine has a 5-speed IGH, but I was considering a smaller chainring. Might look at similar options.

Mine’s a Class 3 (28 mph) midtail ridden in an urban area with lots of stops. Also I really should just leave for daycare pickup a few minutes earlier. 🙃

With really little ones, a front mounted seat (I had a Yepp Mini) is an absolute joy. Your arms envelop them, and you can hear their little voice because they’re so close to you. I miss it.

My kid and I have this game where she sneakily places her hands on my bike seat at a red light. When it turns green, I sit on them, loudly protest, and reach back to tickle her while pedaling.

Black lagers, dunkels, etc. are fantastic, true. But we had a pre-pandemic moment where it seemed Baltic porters were taking off, and I was elated. (In fact I believe many of these *are* lagers?)
