Oh no. It gets worse. Not only do folks trying to replace a Rad Power battery included in the CPSC safety warning need to buy a replacement since Rad refused a recall, the new batteries also require a new charger, sold separately for another $60.
RadPower's product page for the Safe Shield battery says "Safe Shield batteries are compatible only with our updated Rad charger (sold separately). Warning: Do not use with older Rad Power Bikes chargers or any third-party or aftermarket chargers."

There are certain types who can meal plan. There are others who give/sell plans. I can’t use those, either. Then they try to explain how to swap if you don’t like a specific meal.
I sometimes have leftovers, I plan to eat them, and I forget.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

A bad day for Canada, and therefore the world.
Ontario (population 16 million, 40% of the country) has passed new legislation prohibiting bike lanes that take a lane from cars.
An escalation from Bill 212, which required municipalities to get approval.

Minnesota’s Democrats in Congress say they will push to undo a federal ban on intoxicating hemp products before it takes effect in a year and upends the state’s market for low-dose THC products.
Minnesota Democrats in Congress look to reverse federal ban on hemp THC products
It’s unclear if Minnesota’s GOP congressmembers will seek a fix, though Rep. Tom Emmer has appeared open to it.

Holy Turkey! Seattle Cranksgiving 2025 riders clobber records, bike 6,540 pounds of donations to food banks
Atiyeh Assaf of from Byrd Barr Place addresses riders before the start of Seattle Cranksgiving 2025. With food insecurity issues getting national attention, I had a feeling Seattle's 16th Annual Cranksgiving could attract more people than usual. But I can still hardly believe the final totals from Saturday's ride. 410 people participated (385 riders and 25 volunteers), absolutely clobbering the previous record set last year…
