@ClintFiore End water bottle tyranny!

@RonnieAdkins In the 21st century, dignity is nearly impossible in front of a camera. That’s all.

@bobbyfijan Also, “good district” is a useless metric for evaluating the fit between your kids and their schools. Congratulations, you chose to move somewhere where most people make sure their kids graduate high school?

@bobbyfijan I thought OP was remote from Alabama where $1M gets you a little further

@einsteinradler The agony of a lefty with a bolt action

@FischerKing64 We can’t tolerate disagreement when there’s a war on, even foreign ones that don’t affect us. So, cancel the wars.

@AswetiMattias @Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau I’m sure there are a few sensible bike commuting routes in nyc. Unrelated to cycling: the density of crazy people in nyc is nearly a dealbreaker in itself. I live under 90 minutes from the city and haven’t had an urge to visit since 2020.

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@AswetiMattias @Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau You picked small countries on some other continent. Why should I care?

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@AswetiMattias @Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau I’m American. Netherlands and Oslo are a niche.

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@AswetiMattias @Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau The capitol beltway has about .75 MM cars daily. I think 3,000 bikes is a niche.

There’s nothing wrong with a niche as long as you understand most people want nothing to do with it.

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@AswetiMattias @Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau Turns out it is an unpopular choice

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau Anyone who’d rather not drive can go rent in a city. Turns out, that’s an unpopular choice.

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@Lincs_Wheelman @Boenau The point is that people who have a choice prefer to drive

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@vhs0 @Boenau That’s funny bc you confirm their stereotypes perfectly

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@FT Anthony Fauci is a real life Bond villain

@gecko39 @Boenau @CitiBikeNYC You just stay on the colored lines and I’ll enjoy access to the grey parts whenever I please

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@Boenau I work from home 95% so that’s a silly thing to say

The people I know who have biked to work gave it up after a few months due to heat, cold, or (I know everyone is shocked) crazy cyclists on their route.

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@Boenau bike commuting sounds, if anything, less fun than driving a car

[Phil @RockyRunPhil]

@rossiadam Likewise HOAs and their invisible tax

In Fairfax, my neighborhood was one of the few in the area without an HOA and as a result we were the only neighborhood with neighbors parking commercial vans/trailers.

My fellow Americans, if he has a work truck, he’s employed!
