That sucks! I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm totally on board with micromobility and getting people out of cars--it's just starting to feel like an arms race to get heavier and faster that's going to drive pedal bikes to extinction

Such fucking bullshit that we're letting heavier, faster vehicles take over our formerly-safe spaces while my 45#, 12mph loaded commuter bike isn't safe anywhere

This was a case of adjusting the law to match reality. The class 3 e-bikes (mopeds, really) were already everywhere. Decriminalization needed to happen. nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/04/01/j...

Sometimes when I'm struggling up a hill and I hear the telltale coasting freewheel of a deliverista about to pass me, I think of them as "cheaters." But the bicycle is such an efficient machine that runners probably think I'm cheating. Avoiding suffering isn't cheating!!

I just got home from a bad ride and it's so hard to maintain a positive mindset some days. Was recounting the bad thing that happened to my partner and had to explain the 4 other bad things in the preceding 20 minutes/4 mi that led to my poor decision
