I’ll take my chances. I’m not going to overheat or be sweaty and gross for multiple hours just because of a small chance I’ll need to use the slide. If that happens, so be it.

So - is this like the bike riding adage of “dress for the slide, not the ride”?

A closed crowded hot space is a recipe for agitation, it isn’t right but it happens, main reason why I avoid places like Disney and New Orleans, hot, humid, and crowded, I know better than to put myself in that mix for long.

See, he hasn’t learned yet that the job of the cops is to enforce the law for the Rich not against them. He hasn’t learned how to be a happy little stormtrooper yet. He’ll be fired soon enough if he doesn’t though.

Man... I’ve carried more in my old BMW 135i than most people have carried in their trucks lol.

Just require CDLs for vehicles over a certain size/weight.

Seriously. For 90% of the things that Americans use trucks for, both personally and for work, a VAN would be a far better vehicle. Which is why VANS are the work vehicle of choice in literally the entire rest of the world. Pickups are only really useful for a very narrow range of tasks.

I can’t imagine that the relative wieght between a truck and a car matters in the slightest when you are talking 4-6Klbs vs. 200lbs. Either way, you might as well be a bug.

Haven’t read the article, but I’m gonna automatically assume that the already known fact of the high ass hood line is the root cause of all of this...

Probably get a ticket, 3 months probation and a spot on a local MAGA talkshow as a guest hero

A couple of years ago I traded time and distance away for safety. My route now adds about two kilometers to my ride but it’s far safer.

“cyclists should not be in the road if there is no bike lane or in an area with sidewalks that are rarely used”

$10 says he stopped at the gas station to grab more beers. Such a kick-ass story that the cyclists went into overdrive, able to stay with him until he stopped, then hopefully (in my mind) beat his ass and dragged him back to the scene.

At least he didn’t roll coal before hitting them?

It says suspected drunk driver. If they were just wasted, that doesn’t equate to attempted murder. Murder requires intent to kill 

They were descending at 4000ft/min, and 400ft is like 10% of 4000ft.

We are not talking length, but height. But since you want to talk length, the wing span is around 117 feet, which means they were 3 wingspans and 50ft from splashing.

I can’t tell if you're being serious or this is some weird sarcasm/joke I’m not in on

Motherfuckers. Dirt bags. I had a $1,800 Miyata Ridge Runner Team stolen out of my vehicle in fucking Santa Ana CA in the very late 80s. I loved that bike. It was a super short stop and everything was locked up tight. Didn’t matter. Smashed my windows. Motherfuckers.

They used to hang horse thieves.
