You don’t think we know that?

Arteon.

Drivers kill 40,000 people a year in the US alone.  I think we know who the assholes are.

Cyclists and drivers break laws at roughly the same rates. You suffer from some major confirmation bias.

There have been multiple studies done that show cyclists and motorists break laws at roughly the same rates (some show cyclists do it less), but they break different laws for different reasons. Cyclists tend to do it out of self-preservation, motorists do it out of inconvenience. 

I had forgotten he was still alive.

I skimmed the piece but I didn’t see it - didn’t the truck that hit them run a red?

Idaho has had that law for ages, it’s literally referred to as the “Idaho Stop”. Makes loads of sense.

Jeff Tiedrich is the hero we need right now.

It’s about torque, not hp. I see you’re unfamiliar with older cars.

She’ll get out of your bed if you kick her the fuck out. Be a man, be a parent. Fuck that shit.

That already exists - it’s called a cell phone.

I’ve trained on plenty of steep climbs.  Unless the grade is over 20%, which is extremely rare, no one is going 5 MPH.  If you don’t have sightlines you don’t pass. Those are the rules. Cyclists operate on the road by right, drivers do so by revocable privilege. You have priority over no one. Try to remember that.

If you can’t pass a bike going “5 MPH” (no one goes that slow) in a car that probably has at least 200 hp you should have your license revoked. Also, you must give cyclists a minimum of 3' when passing, by law.

If they didn’t rotate the tires how does he know they changed the oil?  I’d be way more concerned about that.

Less.  They also bought a nice 3BR house right about then for $28k.

The first car I remember my parents buying (I was 6) was a 1970 Nova 307 with absolutely no options. It had an AM/FM radio with one dash speaker, cloth bench seats, no AC, no power anything and the floor was covered in this weird rubber they used back when carpeting was optional. It cost $3,000 new.

This is not a “black” market, it’s a niche market.  “Black” markets are illegal.

Except in this case it’s one thing is mildly annoying, and the other thing is  1,000 time worse, frequently deadly and destroying the planet.  But hey, scooters!
