Rad Power Bikes unveils 4 new e-bikes & faster speeds in biggest shakeup yet
  • I'm really happy they got UL certified, I realize this community tends to really like DIY solutions, but if I'm going to recommend an ebike to my parents or to strangers, no way am I recommending one without a lot of safety certifications.

  • Moving away from RHEL based distros, whats good ?
  • I mostly agree with this, I have it on my laptop. Took an hour or two to learn it, used a live image from the website just like any distro. Not for beginners, but someone that is used to arch, after you rtfm it's fine.

  • NJB new video - the dumbest excuse for bad cities
  • Yeah, the problem is his beloved Amsterdam got better based on incremental changed done by advocates, so I don't really blame him while at the same time it's not the right answer, imo. We should all be demanding change.

  • Do you have any recommendations for picking an ebike for daily commutes?
  • I recommend going to a local bike shop that sells ebikes if you have one near you and trying them out for a ride. I have a tern HSD (not exactly cheap) but there's a lot of competitive options. Do you plan on only commuting or like grocery runs?

  • The trucking industry pressured the US DOT to not recommend safety measures for cyclists and pedestrians
    www.propublica.org New Investigation by ProPublica and FRONTLINE Reveals How Regulators and Lobbyists Blocked Measures to Prevent Deadly Crashes

    Thousands of Americans have been killed when their cars slid under the trailers of large trucks. For decades, the Department of Transportation and trucking industry have rejected safety devices meant to prevent these underride crashes.

    New Investigation by ProPublica and FRONTLINE Reveals How Regulators and Lobbyists Blocked Measures to Prevent Deadly Crashes

    > The news organizations will reveal explosive emails detailing how trucking industry officials pressured Department of Transportation regulators to alter a report that recommended a nationwide mandate for guards specifically designed to protect pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. The guards are already used around the world and in several U.S. cities.

    It's all good as long as drivers aren't inconvenienced very slightly /s
