Additional to yesterday’s submit, don’t do this 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. More than likely 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, after all.)
Hey, I’m no watermelon fucker:
Nor am I a freeway scooterist:
I want I’d been capable of take a greater picture however, you already know, 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 probably 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 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 straight adjoining to this freeway that may take you from the Bronx just about all the way in which to Canada, however to be truthful you’re more and more more likely to encounter mysterious pants:
So perhaps he figured it was definitely worth the threat.
Talking of e-bikes, a rider of 1 has run into just a little woman in Brooklyn:
E-bikes? Supply folks? Bike lanes? Injured kids? 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’ve gotten 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 identical 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 state of affairs, but it surely’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 informed 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 wish 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 challenge:”
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, introduced by @shimanogravel, a completely owned subsidiary of Life Time Athletic Occasions, all rights reserved, and so forth. 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 a long time as a land surveyor within the Texas warmth, swinging a bush axe by 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 as we speak.
Let’s hope he doesn’t run up towards any constructing contractors:
Anyway, I hope you’ll all be part of me in wishing one of the best of luck to Fred, who is maybe probably the most excessive instance I’ve ever seen of somebody who not solely REFUSES to Simply Purchase A Rivendell Already, but in addition seems like he may shoot you for merely suggesting it.
Honest sufficient.
