But if they wanted a sure win, which at this point we can agree they don’t retribution and tearing the whole thing down to the studs and rebuilding would be the winning ticket.

These are motorcycles BTW, e-motos. Not e-bikes, not bicycles.

E-bikes are reducing the demand for oil at 4x the rate of electric cars, while e-moto are purchased for rich kids who know that for *reasons* that they will rarely be held accountable.

The press should learn the difference.

I’m needing a lot of oddball parts so tariffs are really F’ing with my ability to acquire and the second hand market being lackluster here.

You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a decent 7spd geared rear hub in 16” that ain’t a golsh darn fat tire 😫

Been doing alright. After decompressing overlong we’ve picked up three working e-bikes, a bunchbike that needs a battery and radwagon 4 that I’m having a hell of a time getting running. Plus a folder for that folding omnium project.

Still keeping a low profile though.

Who’s normal cycling speeds though? It takes quite a lot of watts to get an e-bike, clearheaded from lack of exertion to the speeds that I can do easily on a pedal bike and I’m by no means an athlete.

Insurance yes if it can be commensurate to the risks and in turn proportional to what cars inflict

The past eight years of not living within biking distance of a swimming spot is killing me.

All my connective tissues are drying out!!!

Absolutely untrue, and you would only have had to ask Lenin himself. Here he is taking about his disdain for the man a mere four years before his death but there are many more.

Exactly.

If our culture has a dramatic shift towards cleaning the air and not going out when sick I could see myself going unmasked between flu/Covid waves but… that’s not happening anytime soon

I once spent a whole week eating and drinking with a mask on and it’s pretty easy once you get the hang

For real, I actively don’t seek out creators off YouTube because usually they have some really bad takes and if I see them I can’t really enjoy the videos anymore.

Real refreshing to see TC out in the wild and be like “hell yeah”

The problem is that the EV lobby doesn’t have scores of dedicated media stooges to write an article about it every time there is a car fire.

I often wonder how many good minds and bodies for the struggle we’ve lost or diminished, how much weaker still the movement due to pushing those that refused “normalcy” into the shadows and decried as mentally unwell.

How long can it last heaping on more disability with every organizing event?

I will turn my inner eye to see it’s path, where the Friday has gone there will be nothing. Only snoot boops will remain.

“You have received a collect call from…I’m at the bus stop… press one to accept the charges” was such a hack back then.

I cracked open the Franzia around that time and managed to have no negative side effects.

It’s the best I could do.

My personal rejection of huge follower accounts keeps batting 100.

Problem is enough didn’t hang, and that’s really on US.

Have you seen the spectrum of allies Molly?

I really wish I would have made this two years ago. Might just build another one but maybe out of 2x4’s next time.

But when you’re a welder it’s so hard to resist.
