@Robertbigbags @ClarkeMicah @TheSCMayor I get far more social interaction when I walk or cycle.

Twice today, I stopped and talked to someone while I was out on my bike, running errands.

@grantbuttenshaw @ClarkeMicah @TheSCMayor That's because their parents don't let them go out on their own anymore.

@UnionMac1 @Psychgirl211 ????

Crickets, huh?

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@UnionMac1 @Psychgirl211 Right. But IQ is biased BS. the very next line in your link says "The review of the literature found that no well-designed studies have ever been conducted to properly assess the impact of puberty blockers on cognitive function."

@thinkycrow @unbannotcars @NortonMpls Lol. Didn't see how old it was.

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@thinkycrow @unbannotcars @NortonMpls You said they are blocking car traffic. Which is it?

@catrick328 I have an elderly cat with feline tooth resorption. He has like two teeth left. I feed him mostly chopped fish and Royal Canin soft food. He does get small pieces of dried food as treats because he likes them, but he cannot chew them, so he only gets a few at a time.

@NiallHarbison Poor baby 😢

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@1pluseipi @essexhighways No real harm. I was just disappointed in their response. It *could* have been far worse, & I explained that.
This was a while ago, though the pot hole that caused that off was there for at least 5 years before being repaired. I stubbornly reported it on a regular basis 😆

@disgruntledhere @_celia_bedelia_ Lol.

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@NJWesthead @fesshole They've been promoted since 😆

@AshleyNealDI @righttobikeit Constantly 🙄

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@AshleyNealDI @righttobikeit You know... The *only* times I've seen cyclists 'vest their frustrations', it has been because someone has just endangered their lives.

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@MikeyCycling Well done! 😆

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@MissSassbox I love that.

@dreamingaboutAI @PhyraVol @SketchesbyBoze @datepsych There's no reason you can't be a book worm and go for a hike or a climb together.

[Official Darth Linda @linkcott18]

@dreamingaboutAI @SketchesbyBoze Nah. We like men who read books. Talking together about books we've read is sexy.

@drmcopeman @LynAdamson1 @BrentToderian Though it might surprise you to find that cycling with an elderly parent is both easier, and more enjoyable than you expected.

@drmcopeman @LynAdamson1 @BrentToderian Look.... These posts are not here to say that everyone has to cycle, no matter their personal circumstances. They are here to say 'look what happens when you enable cycling'.

If you need to transport an elderly parent, then by all means, use whatever transport mode you need to.
