Yeah it just doesn't let up here for a few months. I don't think we're going to hit the record set last year for 110°+ days (55 iirc.) I bike early morning when it's "cool" at 85°ish. Cause doing stuff outside in the middle of the day gets you this.

Picking a VP to meet demographics rather than because they'd be a good president if the worst happens is... problematic, and I think that's exactly why she has the job. She wasn't great during the 2020 primary. Whether because the Biden team has sidelined her the last four years or some other factor, is irrelevant in the critical fight to not lose our democracy.
If I had my druthers it would be Whitmer/Shapiro - two popular (at least among their constituents) governors from swing states. The Dems have a number of promising candidates honestly - imagine that debate with Newsom instead of Biden - but the swing state issue tips it for me.
If I ever injure myself to the point where I need to rehab on a three wheel before I can get back to my regular bikes, I will buy a recumbent. I'm in my 50s and I remember the ATC incidents well - I was sitting behind someone on one when I was a kid when we went over, fortunately, nobody was seriously injured, but they are very not stable.
Star Trek or Hunger Games. Right now the safe money's on the latter.
Probably continuous vs peak power. I've seen brands advertise this very unethically - Lectric has done this. "Ours is 1400W, the competition is only 750W!"

Heh, I was thinking about tint while running errands a few hours ago, exactly what you describe. You're spot on.
I assume nobody sees me. If I catch their eye and I know they're actually seeing me, that's about the only time. I wave at cars frequently, and usually get an acknowledgment, those people saw me too.
The one that's gonna kill me someday will be the teenager twiddling their phone that drifts into the bike lane. Aside from not riding there at all, I don't know what else I can do.
That 12 year old's parents are in the shit too.
Lights at night. Wear a fucking helmet. Idiot.
"Police said there was no white light attached to the victim’s bicycle, and Andrews was not wearing a helmet. The report says there was a light attached to the e-bike, although the boy said he wasn’t sure if it was operating."
Lots of stupid to go around here. From the pic, the kid was on a Super 73.
This is just a great opportunity for a poor person to rent their phone out, you gotta look for the silver lining in the capitalism!

I figure we're going to see the first chapter from The Ministry for the Future at some point. This is getting close.
There's a big difference between "UK e-bike owners" and "Bosch powered UK e-bike owners"
You don't have the holes for it
