I ride a regular UA, and would opt for the suspension if I could on the pothole-riddled streets of Davis, CA... Otherwise, these things are so much fun to ride! Good luck!

@NPR reposting yesterday's cringe victim blaming. In 'bike friendly' Davis 85 people under 19 were injured in collisions around our schools in the last decade. Fortunately no fatalities. All but two collisions involved a car, drivers at fault in most. Educate drivers to wield their cars responsibly.

Bike and pedestrian deaths are far worse in the US then almost anywhere else. Places that solved this don't rely on padding and bright colors on people, they plan and design for streets that are safe for pedestrians, bikes and ebikes by engineering out conflicts with cars... do better @npr.org

Understanding these mechanisms of local crosstalk matters, because they break down quickly in diabetes. This failure to communicate between islet cell types makes diabetes worse. 10/10

Taken together, our findings explain the coordination between insulin and somatostatin secretion via a combination of paracrine crosstalk and relatively weak electrical connections that facilitate coordination, without constraining the considerable individuality of delta cell Ca2+ behaviors. 9/10

Finally, while delta cell calcium activation precedes calcium by beta cells, somatostatin secretion trails insulin. While this initially surprised us, full somatostatin release requires the concurrent activation of calcium by glucose and cAMP in response to the beta cell hormone Urocortin3. 8/10
