Additional to yesterday’s submit, don’t do that at dwelling:
Not as a result of it’s harmful, however as a result of it’s so downright tame the boredom may put you to sleep and and also you may fall off your bike. I solely hope the irate mountain bikers from the opposite day don’t come up with that, as a result of I’ll by no means stay it down. Almost definitely they’d give me crap for driving like a “woosie” and for not sporting a helmet, which is ironic, as a result of if you trip like a woosie you don’t actually want a helmet. (Mid-ride naps however, in fact.)
Hey, I’m no watermelon fucker:
Nor am I a freeway scooterist:
I want I’d been capable of take a greater picture however, , I used to be driving and I shouldn’t have been utilizing the telephone in any respect. Nonetheless, it’s too dangerous the “Welcome to the Bronx” signal isn’t clearer, since that is just about essentially the most Bronx factor conceivable. I can’t inform if he’s white-knuckling it and considering to himself, “Oh shit, I’m on the freeway!,” or if he’s simply calmly cruising and savoring the lengthy line of site visitors behind him. Currently I’ve additionally been seeing supply individuals on e-bikes and related conveyances on this stretch of street so I’m wondering in the event that they’re merely being led astray by GPS.
Satirically there’s a serene and picturesque bike path immediately adjoining to this freeway that may take you from the Bronx just about all the best way to Canada, however to be truthful you’re more and more more likely to encounter mysterious pants:
So perhaps he figured it was well worth the threat.
Talking of e-bikes, a rider of 1 has run into somewhat lady in Brooklyn:
E-bikes? Supply individuals? Bike lanes? Injured youngsters? Jews??? That is the stuff of New York Metropolis tabloid writers’ moist desires!
I admit I too was grateful for one more excuse to malign e-bikes and excoriate their riders, although having watched the precise video I have to say I’m not all that impressed:
Is the e-bike too quick for the bike lane? Positive. Ought to the rider have been extra ready to cease? Definitely. Is the so-called “parking-protected” bike lane configuration New York favors arguably as idiotic as it’s Frogger-esque? Completely. Have I requested sufficient rhetorical questions? Not but. May you’ve designed a motorbike lane to extra successfully insure that riders won’t be able to see young children till it’s too late? Most likely not:
On the similar time, fortunately the kid appears solely to have sustained minor accidents, and extremely the rider remained on the scene. And to not “However drivers!” the scenario, nevertheless it’s not even in the identical universe as this horrific story:
Actually, it’s simply unthinkably terrible:
“I don’t wish to put my breath on one thing that’s going to include my DNA,” she allegedly advised a detective shortly after 3:30 p.m. that day. “No, I’m good. Wish to odor my breath? There’s no alcohol on my breath. You wish to take a breathalyzer? Positive, go for it. I’m simply saying I don’t like my DNA on issues.”
The crash killed mother Natasha Saada and her two daughters — Diana, 8, and Debra, 5 — whereas leaving her 4-year-old son, Philip, critically injured.
Which is why it’s now an “explosive marketing campaign situation:”
No, wait, that’s the bike lane factor:
Lastly, in far much less miserable information, a 92-year previous rider will tackle UNBOUND, the world’s premier gravel occasion, offered by @shimanogravel, an entirely owned subsidiary of Life Time Athletic Occasions, all rights reserved, and many others. and so forth:
He attributes his fortitude to his years spent as a land surveyor in Texas:
Schmid’s toughness wasn’t born on a motorbike. He spent 5 many years as a land surveyor within the Texas warmth, swinging a bush axe by means of poison ivy and mosquitoes. The work was brutal, however quitting wasn’t an possibility. “You simply stored going,” he says. “Everybody else was on the market doing the identical.” That work ethic nonetheless drives him immediately.
Let’s hope he doesn’t run up towards any constructing contractors:
Anyway, I hope you’ll all be a part of me in wishing the perfect of luck to Fred, who is maybe essentially the most excessive instance I’ve ever seen of somebody who not solely REFUSES to Simply Purchase A Rivendell Already, but additionally seems like he may shoot you for merely suggesting it.
Honest sufficient.
