I use an anonymous Clipper card, and just put more cash on it once in a while. No bank or credit card linked. I’ll be curious to see how long it takes me to tap in on the bus.

Traffic Engineers have a role to play in safety of bicyclists on roads, yes. But municipal maintenance has a role, too. Broken pavement and potholes cannot be blamed on engineers.

My two cents on throttle bikes (lectric or gas) is they have no place on bike paths for pedal-assist bicycles.

As a cartography fan, I'm grateful that you took on the task, and have carried it this far. Placed a modest order tonight to help out, and to fulfill some of my cravings. #01192

Reminds me of Soviet disinformation maps, which were a real thing, even if they didn’t depict real places.
