I mean serious in the sense of using it for exercise, without the intent of racing. Honestly I don’t see the sport of road cycling continuing much longer. It seems like teams are always folding, the doping is way too pervasive to reel in without killing most of the popularity, and it seems crazy to shut down dozens of

Still easier to avoid than people turning right at the last second, people turning left from the opposite lane, and people pulling out too far to see around the corner in order to pull out into traffic. With large trucks and SUVs on the road, bikes that cannot do the speed limit consistently will always be dangerous

When a driver of a car doesn’t want to be stuck in traffic, they leave at a different time. In my morning commute I have the luxury to choose to come in somewhere between 8-10 am so I aim for the half hours since traffic is generally non-existant. When going for a ride you can choose to go at non peak hours or you can

See my other response about bike paths, but I believe in a bike’s use as transportation on public roads as they are generally predictable and don’t impede traffic. As training for competition, if you need a wider area than what is available on a good bike path, you are not going to be predictable or easy to pass on a

I’m not sure I agree with the premise that cyclists should be allowed to use multi use roads for training if you are saying that something the width of a good bike path (not a small bike lane) is not adequate. I have no problem passing cyclists safely, because most cyclists using the roadway stay to the side to allow

The few I have been on (specifically thinking about the one’s on Cape Cod) have typically been about 10-12 feet wide and better maintained than the roads they occasionally cross. They have fewer road crossings than the corresponding roads that aren’t highways, where the rider would still have to slow for the

Yeah if I was a serious biker I would probably only train on legit bike paths. The downside is that they still cross the road occasionally (but there are road intersections anyways so that’s moot) and they are few and far between. The good news is that most places that have them are fairly nice and scenic.

So the easy rule to prevent what happened to the Guy Boucher teams is to blow the whistle when either team is not trying to attack or advance the puck. The ensuing faceoff should be placed in the home teams defensive zone for playing boring hockey in front of their home crowd. Oh and Guy Boucher should never be

So in this LoZ OoT future we live in, are self driving cars replaced with magic ocarinas? The gig economy is really just the secret trading game, mask sales, and cuckoo coralling?

It’s fairly hard to track since many different data aggregators define the acts differently. The main right wing defense of the number of school shootings is that a majority are suicides, but as some studies will show making suicide even slightly harder dramatically decreases both attempts and deaths. The most famous

Almost felt really creepy for thinking Emma Watson was hot back then until I realized she’s ~3 years older than me.

If we’re solely referring to the evil manipulative Vader from RoS, R1, ANH and Empire then yes (where Fox News plays the role of Emperor), but at least Anakin had a hard upbringing and a redeemable moment towards the end... Don’t hold your breath for the latter and I’d like to hear the mental gymnastics his supporters

Nope I’ve never taken PCP, but I’d imagine I’d have a hard time fighting while under the influence of it.

Well you’re still utilizing the CPU, RAM, PSU, and accessories of a separate computer.

Snow events in Tampa are very predictable in the sense that they don’t happen.

Also every bruin’s fan and pundit that was talking about how Khudobin should be the starter over Rask earlier in the season. The two pad stack was fucking brutal on that play.

I blame that on a totally inept coach. Marvin Lewis would’ve been to at least 3 super bowls by now if he had Aaron Rodgers.

But then you’re still giving up a first round pick for a couple months of IT who will want a max deal at 30 years old and 5' 9"...

Isaiah is on the last year of his deal (so not much value added to the Knicks) I think and no way Cleveland gives him up with how short they are at depth of that position and Lebron having an opt out too.

Sadly by the time they depreciate enough to be used off-road by regular folk, I’d imagine both a RR and a G would be electrical nightmares.
