Additional to yesterday’s publish, 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 would possibly 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 stay it down. Almost definitely 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 photograph however, you realize, I used to be driving and I shouldn’t have been utilizing the cellphone 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 possible. I can’t inform if he’s white-knuckling it and pondering to himself, “Oh shit, I’m on the freeway!,” or if he’s simply calmly cruising and savoring the lengthy line of visitors behind him. These days I’ve additionally been seeing supply individuals on e-bikes and comparable conveyances on this stretch of highway so I ponder in the event that they’re merely being led astray by GPS.
Mockingly there’s a serene and picturesque bike path instantly adjoining to this freeway that may take you from the Bronx just about all the way in which to Canada, however to be honest you might be more and more more likely to encounter mysterious pants:
So possibly he figured it was definitely worth the danger.
Talking of e-bikes, a rider of 1 has run into just a little lady in Brooklyn:
E-bikes? Supply individuals? Bike lanes? Injured youngsters? Jews??? That is the stuff of New York Metropolis tabloid writers’ moist goals!
I admit I too was grateful for 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 babies 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, however it’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 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 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 subject:”
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, a completely owned subsidiary of Life Time Athletic Occasions, all rights reserved, and many others. 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 via 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 immediately.
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 essentially the most excessive instance I’ve ever seen of somebody who not solely REFUSES to Simply Purchase A Rivendell Already, but additionally seems to be like he would possibly shoot you for merely suggesting it.
Truthful sufficient.
