Additional to yesterday’s submit, don’t do that at residence:
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 reside it down. Almost certainly they’d give me crap for driving like a “woosie” and for not carrying a helmet, which is ironic, as a result of while you trip like a woosie you don’t actually need 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 in a position to take a greater picture however, you understand, I used to be driving and I shouldn’t have been utilizing the telephone in any respect. Nonetheless, it’s too unhealthy 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. Recently I’ve additionally been seeing supply folks on e-bikes and comparable conveyances on this stretch of street so I ponder in the event that they’re merely being led astray by GPS.
Sarcastically there’s a serene and picturesque bike path straight adjoining to this freeway that can take you from the Bronx just about all the way in which to Canada, however to be honest you’re more and more prone to encounter mysterious pants:
So perhaps he figured it was definitely worth the danger.
Talking of e-bikes, a rider of 1 has run into a bit of woman in Brooklyn:
E-bikes? Supply folks? Bike lanes? Injured youngsters? Jews??? That is the stuff of New York Metropolis tabloid writers’ moist desires!
I admit I too was grateful for yet 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? Certain. Ought to the rider have been extra ready to cease? Actually. 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 may have designed a motorbike lane to extra successfully insure that riders will be unable 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, but it surely’s not even in the identical universe as this horrific story:
Actually, it’s simply unthinkably terrible:
“I don’t need to put my breath on one thing that’s going to include my DNA,” she allegedly instructed a detective shortly after 3:30 p.m. that day. “No, I’m good. Need to odor my breath? There’s no alcohol on my breath. You need to take a breathalyzer? Certain, 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 concern:”
No, wait, that’s the bike lane factor:
Lastly, in far much less miserable information, a 92-year outdated 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 so on. 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 way of poison ivy and mosquitoes. The work was brutal, however quitting wasn’t an choice. “You simply saved going,” he says. “Everybody else was on the market doing the identical.” That work ethic nonetheless drives him right now.
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 very best 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 in addition seems to be like he may shoot you for merely suggesting it.
Honest sufficient.
