It's just the type of comment to be proven wrong, even admitting it, and then still not changing the position towards the policy. Things can be both marketed badly and also good

not going far enough there is my point

his solution was something along the lines of remove traffic laws, make it harder to get licenses, this will separate the wheat from the chaffe, and the rest can get "bus passes with all the other knuckle draggers."

This fits squarely into the the common brainworms of the car is the best transportation there is if all the other schmucks couldn't drive one. Car drivers all hate each other, too

for all it's worth carbrained people all hate each other, too, but boy are they good at rallying around a common enemy

I do not get the 20mph speed limit here. E-Bicycles get to do 15.5mph in Wales, apparently. On a perfect, no traffic, no obstruction 1 mile stretch of road the speed difference here would save you, what, 30 seconds at most?

You think maybe all the other people without disabilities might see some other options here which in turn would free up more road for you, a person actually needing to drive a car, for it?

"Fuck cars = fuck lives"

are cars sentient where you live

Then they've screwed up the marketing.

c'mon

Do literally anything to actually address the issue at hand. Not check.

enlighten us

Wrong angle I think, this is just to punish teens for not having been in dunkirk like the boomers

stealings a tough job m8

Did he ever say anything else about it? You can get banksy prints and other stuff featuring his artwork everywhere and they never seemed much bothered about it, maybe he just dislikes Guess

I don't know whether he recognizes it but 20 something disenfranchised dudes are uniquely subsceptible to aphorisms without context and if there's one thing JBP does well it's that

Yeah, little online test about it, too, but in the end even that took years and there isn't really any feasible way to get what you want other than suing the company

another point where gmaps is terribly carbrained, no such option for cycling

Bit late to the party so I don't have much to offer that hasn't been said already, except: if you don't want to buy a specialty tool like a chainwhip you can jury rig it with an old chain and a pipe wrench or similar to clamp them together - just gotta stop the gears from turning

Just be reaaaaaaaaal careful and think about how you're applying force and which way your hand goes if you slip, I've got a scar from slicing my hand open on the sprockets lol

Depending on your location if you want better front brake than normal V-Brake or maybe Cantis, Magura makes hydraulic rim brakes and they just slot on the existing infrastructure. I can find them here for about 20€ / brake on the craigslist equivalent, but then this is germany where they hail from. Also depending on location maybe there's something like a self help repair workshop or a bike kitchen near you that could help you out.

One last tip that helped me greatly in all things bike maintenance is to spend a bit of time understanding how it works. Sure you can follow a set of directions, but especially for say, rear derailleur adjustment it's a much easier time if you actually understand what the fuck the H and L screws do and why to troubleshoot any mistakes. Most guides presuppose you're wrenching on showroom floor type bikes, hardly the case in the real world.

(because we don’t think of the the children inside or outside of the car)

No, children inside cars are thought of, much like anybody else, it's why we keep having "safer" cars, enforced by regulations, that are actively detrimental to everybody not in a car or an older car due to more weight, more bulkiness, less visibility

H.P. lovecrafts eternal V-22 Osprey and it's insatiable hunger for the blood of US soldiers

The thing killed a hundred marines so far and they keep flying it lmao

what if concorde but more technology
