Bike Cynic

Ask him about South Park.

Will be replaced by private contractors at twice the price

How long has the right portrayed the left as insane and delusional? What a fresh and compelling take.

If the tables were turned, we would most definitely be at war.

Most of them, I believe, are new to commuting. They don’t seem to understand that there is an expectation to slow down any time a person is walking…and especially when dogs or children are present.

*and not to be cranky

I hear that. I mean here’s my bias…and this is just for a conversation and to be cranky. I tend to think a lot of e-bikers are new to biking as a whole. So they honestly don’t understand the etiquette. And for the record. I’m not perfect by any means, but I try.

20 mph? Really? I believe you but it seems that people are going way faster. I can average 17 to 18 mph without. And people are blasting by me at that speed. I try to mute my bell with my hand so it’s not a full ring.

So…totally support e-bikes but here’s my two challenges that I wish the new e-biker understood. 1) stop going so fast 2) because you are going so fast you need to ring your bell 200 feet away and not 10 feet behind me and then pass going 30 mph.

Why are the universities so unprepared? I’m genuinely confused that they weren’t anticipating this.

Doesn’t this clip prove his point?

Ok I’ll meet him in the middle then. Instead of insane hatred, I’ll just have regular hatred for cars.

So not an expert…taking this on face value…but I find the argument that every other advanced country can build high speed and light rail except us…concerning. Cars are awful and we don’t know how to build the infra-structure to replace them. RTD?

Agree with the first sentence. The rest sounds like Fox News talking points. If you really want to engage in thoughtful criticism let me know.

Americans are dumb weather vanes. Don’t ascribe anything more to it than that. They’re good and then they’re bad. They have no center. And that’s why leadership matters.

I’m with her. Please.

Obama was a new direction. Hillary was a step back. And we’ve been stuck with all these people since. We never got the chance to move forward the way it was trending. Now they’re not up for the fight. Clinton is Republican as far as I’m concerned.

I’m with her. Enough said.

It was Clinton’s fault. She felt entitled after all her years of “service”. Anyone who had listened to talk radio knew her chances.

Without being too grandiose, they predicted it all—both the failures of the left and the increasing hostility of the right. I blame Clinton’s delusional “I earned this” campaign for all of this. Then Ginsburg. Then Biden.

Or what about the absence of leadership. Dianna DeGette? What the hell is she doing?

So what happens to the money we send (I live in a donor state)? Or is the plan? Take donor state money without any accountability…because that’s what the Ed department does.

And we’ll talk about it all with our official language.

What about inflation?

That’s a good idea for commuting. Have you tried it at night? I imagine that style is good for hiding headlight glare too.

Hell yeah. Bikepacking.com has been pushing them…and I broke down and got one too…full brim though.

Can’t wait for the op Ed that explains why libertarians can use tax dollars.

Or you could stop eating meat.

I find them helpful if nothing else. There are streets better for cycling and my city has done a decent job of identifying and marking them with the sharrow. Subjectively, my ride is easier.
