    Indeed they do often ... even the BBC covers some things about the USA that don't show up over here. And "foreign affairs" that far too often turn out to involve US interests ... And besides the foreign media is owned by a different group of billionaires .

    New Brompton G-Line Electric model

    "G-Line Electric is UL 2849 certified" ... that's worth more than the larger wheels for folks who live in apartments and need transportation to and from the train station. :cool:

    If I had to choose a "critter to avoid " it would be a government agent and ebikes wouldn't help.

    The Jeep Cherokee got a bad ( or just worse, maybe) reputation for rolling over and catching fire. Check YouTube for videos... I owned one a decade ago, it was a good vehicle, not great but OK, both on and off road. I doubt that I would buy another unless it was a super deal, but it was OK.

    The transition

    I want the robots to clean the bathrooms and dig the mines, so we can make the art, music, and books . Not have the people doing the dirty and dangerous work, so the robots can stay busy plagiarizing all the existing creative works. That isn't the plan that we seem to be on, either. I am...

    For Those Of You With Handlebar Mounted Mirrors, One Mirror Or Two?

    Just one like all the above commentators. Two wouldn't fit between a lot of bollards (?), If that's the word for those posts that keep cars off the trail.
