So the pedestrian the car hits should take the full brunt of the faster, heavier object?

Carbrain is a hell of a drug

I’m sure the Trib will use a similar framing in defense of $1B+ of new annual revenues to save our transit network and avoid 3,000 pink slips going out to transit workers, right?

E-Bike Rebates Learn how to qualify for a rebate for an electric bike (e-bike) from a participating bike shop. A limited number of e-bike rebate vouchers are available every other month. Plus, learn how to use your ...
