Yea, a Shimano Altus derailleur, for instance, will set you back about $30 so it's definitely cheaper just to buy a new one.

The derailleur was shot? Derailleurs don't wear out (well at least not before you do.) Jockey wheels wear out, but those should be able to be replaced.

Too bad Canadian whiskey is just brown vodka.

I'm an American I won't drink bourbon. It's one of the products from a red state that is easily boycotted.

Yea, the whiskey industry 1 part product, two parts marketing lies.

Try finding authentic Japanese whiskey or read up about sherry-aged scotch. A lot of whiskey is not what it seems.

Kentuckians did this to themselves.

I'm to the point I just the tech bros to hurry up and blow up the world.

In my town, they usually are a traffic engineer's way of saying, "Hey you on the bike! I'm stealing your bike lane for the next 500 yards because I need to do something to the road to increase vehicle throughtput. You're on your own. Don't get run over!"

Elon Musk’s Worst Nightmare About DOGE Is Starting to Come True Federal agencies are starting to admit that DOGE’s policies were trash.

Giant SUV, of course. 2/2

I live by a hospital. Last night there was a homeless guy who looked like he might have just gotten released from the hospital very slowly crossing the street with the light. I knew it was going to change before he made it across, so I patiently waited for him to cross. 1/

They don't seem like a fly by night, generic Chinese ebike. They were founded by one of the guys who started Electra Bikes. They're using Bosch motors, which is a good thing.

Upway has screaming deals on some like new Bennos right now.

All my most life threatening incidents have been motorists blowing through stop signs and red lights.

He was a HoFer before the PEDs.

I'm going to watch this. How can't I?

Hell, sometimes we shouldn't build near schools - we should build at schools.

Can't help but think the school district couldn't squeeze 10-20 units in here somewhere.
