Car people are sheep that have been guided by a battery of policy incentives. Saying that consumers aren't shaped by the incentives requires ignoring all of the massive pro car subsidies and policy incentives of the last 70 years.

Santa Monica desperately needs congestion pricing. It is served by six bus systems and light rail. Plus, the people driving through are the most insufferable and entitled pricks outside of Manhattan.

Just imagining the horrors such spells would perpetuate if true. 😬😵

LA after the rain is the most beautiful place on Earth. LA should ban cars. It could be like this 350 days a year.

You give yourself too little credit. I did this on a gravel bike between spine surgeries. I've seen well over 80kph on Strava around here. Are we going to ban gravity assist?

And now I'm thinking of riding my bike. Are we sure rest days are not just what happens when you keel over from exhaustion?

Apparently, Youtube recommends "Christian" music at me now because I listened to George Michael. 😵‍💫

If you needed one more reason to the game where you see how fast into December you can go without hearing this song...

🤔 I think I can almost get away with this. Maybe on a weekend.

Hey, look. Rich people in coastal mansions strongly support giving themselves a tax break to... incentive themselves to not burn down their neighborhood... again. These guys never miss an opportunity to wreck the tax code.🙃

LA is just so strikingly beautiful in so many ways.

I feel like this would be epic if it were at ground level and integrated into an urban grid instead of a private retreat 10m above ground level.

Santa Monica is pretty good.

I'm told "they" say that riding an ebike is cheating. So, I dunno... Maybe you should cheat? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

BMI is one of the stupidest metrics ever devised. Of course TFG is a fan.

Nice!🫡 I would have been up there, too, but I crashed my bike on the 24th.🫤

If I were going to take up an interest in sportball, this is where I would go to watch.

This is LA County. Decades of NIMBYism resulting in decades of studying the problem, raising billions, and then blocking the solution every single time because someone wants it somewhere else. NIMBYism is intolerance and hate, and we need to recognize it in our communities accordingly.

🤔 measuring by time or by distance?
October 21, 2025 at 8:42 PM
We actually do this here. Sidewalks and bike lanes have reflectors and brightly colored posts. Parking garages have bright yellow bollards. People still crash into them. The people publishing this stuff should not only not be allowed to dress themselves, they should be fired. It doesn't work.
