Kinda makes me worried about a crash where you end up rolling or something and get multiple strikes.

Probably Vampire Survivors or Vampire Hunters: Sometimes it's just nice to play something where you don't really have to think too hard.

I thought I remember reading Garmin Varia had something like this? Not open to the public as far as I know though.

As for legality, if a person is out in public on the road, there is no expectation of privacy regarding their vehicle, license plate, etc. but that doesn't stop people from filing frivolous lawsuits that they might even win (especially these days). Sharing evidence of their vehicle committing a crime or traffic violation would not be considered "doxxing" IMO, but consult a lawyer if you're actually going to start a company or website to do this.

Yeah, the scale is far worse this time.

Rival? lol

Yeah if I need to connect it to the Internet or use an app on my phone, that's a non-starter for me.

You can crash at 25kph and get killed, speed is a factor, but it's not the only one.

The ~30l-40bs difference in an ebike vs. a road bike seems kind of negligible compared to the weight of the rider (never mind comparing it to something like a car). How many people get killed by e-bikes every year vs. vehicles?

The argument that e-bikes are super dangerous to pedestrians just doesn't really hold up under scrutiny when you compare it to cars.

It's pretty similar to the Motocompacto from Honda

There was a fight scene involving an e-board in this show called Rabbit Hole that was pretty cool (decent show too); I imagine having some sort of micromobility fight/chase in confined spaces could make for a good action sequence.

Yeah, but on the other hand, ICE motorcycles have also been referred to as bikes, so it's been a longstanding ambiguity with the term.

Rentals could work or maybe a decent folding scooter. If you can get by at all without power, it might be worth looking at Bromptons/Brompnots or perhaps something like a Strida. There's also folding kick scooters as well as powered ones.

The Litelock X1 sounds like it would be the Ulock for you though, it's not super heavy, fairly compact, but still very cut resistant.

All that said, if everywhere you need to go is covered by rental bikes or scooters, I'd say at least start out using them to get a sense of what works best for you. There's something to be said for not worrying about maintenance, theft, or storage too.

¯(ツ)_/¯

Shit, I ride my folding bicycle on grass and the tires are only 1.75".

There are dozens, probably more like hundreds of different instances out there, all with different rules.

There's extremists on Lemmy too, but they're mostly on defederated instances like hexbear and lemmygrad or whatever it's called now.

I still go to reddit and you are basically describing reddit itself: It's a bunch of reposts. Not sure what you mean about "uncensored" exactly but if you're talking about NSFW stuff, there's instances that cater to that sort of thing here too.

You will get better results if you browse all and start subscribing to things you actually like, then set your filter to subscribed and you're off to the races!

Look, I had a lot going on, so I kind of stole some flowers from someone's yard on the way, but the other wise men caught me. It's bullshit!

There are two ways you can approach this:

1. Get an entry level bike and decent locks like a uLock like the Litelock X1 or X3 (or Skunklock Chemical if you're vindictive lol) and maybe supplement it with a secondary chain or folding like (Hiplok Gold or Foldylock Forever are good supplementary locks). The locks should deter most thieves and the Litelock X3 takes mutiple cutting wheels to get through (the Skunklock Chemical has an active defense of skunking anyone who tries to cut it).
2. Get a nice bike with the above locks as well as insurance, trackers, an alarm, and maybe even another lock.

If you opt for 1, I'd recommend checking out your local bike shop for brands like Lectric, Ride1up, etc. and getting whatever makes the most sense for you. Since you mentioned trikes, I want to point out that they are prone to tipping so ride slowly around corners or you'll crash. I prefer 2 wheels over 3 for this reason (though I do have a recumbent trike that's fun to ride but trickier to corner than a bicycle).

Ideally, in either case, it's best to bring your bike inside: Even if you lock a bike up, people can do things like put glue in the lock, vandalize the bike, steal parts, etc. Try to limit the amount of time you leave it exposed, especially if you live in high theft areas.

Personally, I just ride cheap bikes and keep them in good repair. If they get destroyed or stolen, that sucks, but even if I never get compensated for it, I can replace it sooner rather than later.
