    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    I don't know about New Jersey, and they aren't doing that in Tennessee, but it seems like that's what happens when there's no enforcement mechanism in place. They pass another law. I get the irony. Aside from educated common sense, enforcement is the only real solution. Speed limits or bans...

    Odd mapping omission in Specialized app

    Sorry to hijack this thread, but how do you like your s26 Ultra? I'm a big fan of the Samsung flagships but I don't like to update every year.

    That's one good question, out of several that come to mind. For what it's worth, on further reflection, I think the letter was written in the late sixties, because for some reason I remember where I living when I read it. And not that it matters but the letter was written by a woman.

    There was a letter to the editor in the Nashville newspaper in the early 70's from someone who asserted that if God had meant for men to have long hair He wouldn't have invented scissors.

    In the US Amazon drivers are among the dumbest I think I've ever seen. Apparently their stupidity knows no boundaries.

    When Paris started dropping cars

    I understand. But I was also a pedestrian a good bit of the time. I get what you're saying, but I didn't notice a problem. Just normal due diligence when crossing streets, etc., for me. I didn't get into all parts of the city though.

    When Paris started dropping cars

    I rode around Paris a good bit for a few days a year ago, on Lime rental bikes and was quite comfortable with the bike lanes and traffic. For me, it was a good experience and maybe the best way to get around. No parking or theft worries with rental bikes.

    That's a rude question that Pedaluma apparently doesn't want to answer. Why are you pestering him?

    Small point, but "kill" is Dutch not Scottish

    Bottom line, I think you're right, but maybe even here, there's a point when people need to speak out against attacks on our Constitution, our laws, and our longheld American traditions. Not to mention gross conflicts of interest, nepotism and otherwise insane appointments, transparent lies...
