    Drug driving

    Around age 18 I started smoking. Nothing. Over the next year, I realized I was never inhaling and no one noticed either, then some one did and put a loaded bong in my hands. Coughing ensued and I was shortly melting into the wall I was sitting against. To this day I feel bad that I didn't know...

    Drug driving

    That's the thing about Ganja, you really need to develop a tolerance so you can find out what your level is for pain, anxiety or fun. I trust those who regularly smoke weed far more than the casual every once in a while cannabis smoker. I believe you when you say you have no problems driving on...

    Confused Between Electric Bike & Electric Scooter?

    My cheap(at least until the orange one comes to power) Vivi has about a 5 to 6 mile range on just throttle/no pedaling. I only ever did that once though because I had to to drop off paperwork at my township and my body was wrecked from riding the day before. Downside to my bike, she's a fair...

    Drug driving

    Hello from the High five State of Michigan, land of legal med and rec ganja. I smoke myself. Leo's here use a breathalyzer that can tell exactly how long ago it was you consumed cannabis. If you are driving impaired and blow negative on a breathalyzer for booze or if you refuse, they will do a...

    Excuse my heresy and please help, need advice from the fat tire crowd.

    My knees will not take the very steep hills where I live. Its nothing like Appalachia here, but these hills are basically micro mountains. If I lived on flats, I'd already own the lightest upright commuter I could find.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    9.9 out of 10 for the Hart- Montague rail trail, in West Michigan. Other than crossings, you are completely seperated from traffic. So safe and beautiful. Nice asphalt paved trails. Other than rail trails which are awesome in Michigan, 0-1 pretty much every where on the road. Hey, Motor capital...

    The Tariff Questions?

    Hopefully you won't see rioting and looting if the orange one gets one tenth of his wish list. Then you aren't paying attention. Even Forbes came out with an article a few years back saying the wealthiest needed to chip in more, this was during the eat the rich days. They were warning about...

    The Tariff Questions?

    So you're back to the 80's Reagan Welfare queen argument? Or you think people should work 80 hours a week for minimum wage, zero benefits or overtime simply to not die. Ok.... That one holds no water either. I once met a meat packer who had wires sticking out of the ends of his fingers because...

    The Tariff Questions?

    That's why doctors and programmers from India get a fast track through immigration. Yeah if you're a contractor and you are willing to pay comparable wages to Americans who refuse to do those jobs, I don't see what your problem is with having legal migrants do those jobs? Most of the Mexican...

    The Tariff Questions?

    Lol, I didn't need subtitles. And that is not what I would call heavy Scot accent. I've seen interviews with natives on the ground really stretching those vowels, it was difficult to understand some of it. I also like welsh, Irish and Sottish Gaelic, but don't understand any of those languages...

    The Tariff Questions?

    I also struggle with heavy Scot Dialects/accents.

    The Tariff Questions?

    Lol on the English. There are so many dialects of it, that two people who speak the exact same language can't understand each other at all. As an anglophile I've watched British movies and shows since I was a child. I can understand broken English and all the UK and Irish dialects, even...

    The Tariff Questions?

    I live in orchard country, Michigan grows so much of its own food and food for the US and abroad. Both mom and pop Farmers and larger fruit and veg companies rely on migrants and so do you. Migrant workers here are some the hardest working people on earth and I respect them for doing what most...

    Excuse my heresy and please help, need advice from the fat tire crowd.

    She's a beauty, nice mid drive. I haven't decided yet, but if I can I'm going to go fat tire. There is actually a quad which I would like to get, but it's out of my price range:

    Excuse my heresy and please help, need advice from the fat tire crowd.

    I'd rather go two wheeled, but there just isn't a step through bicycle I could mount a 200 cc engine too. There will be several mods including welds to frames and upgrading the rear axle. The engine will add a sh!t ton of weight to the back which should help prevent tipping. The trike set up...

    Bless his heart, he went from fluffy to a Hagrid who did too much time in Azkaban. Real proud of him for dropping the weight. He's getting a fat tire trike. He plans to use it as a scooter, not a pedaling ebike. He lives in an urban/suburban area of GR,MI so he only needs a 5 mile range both...

    My Big little brother is 6'+ and a big guy. I love him to death but I've seen him destroy furniture made for lesser men and watched him getting in and out of cramped spaces like cars his whole life. He's planning on getting a walk through trike. I keep telling him he will do fine on two wheels...

    The Tariff Questions?

    Agreed except, they will be eating their own faces, I voted Harris. "Leopards ate my face" describes someone doing something terribly wrong that they think will hurt others, but it only ends up hurting them; that would be Trump voters, or the 6 to 8 million people between the ages of 45 and 64...

    The Tariff Questions?

    People should also know Trump has the absolute power to issue tariffs by executive order. Some of his Rubes still hold out hope and maybe he wants a legacy? All we can do is wait and see.
