I was a professional bicycle mechanic for about 5 years (this was about 20 years ago) and all those same things applied back then. I guess I’m confused as to the timeliness of this report. They’ve been hot garbage for a lot longer than 10 years.  

Get a used bike. Then resell it after a year if you don’t end up using it. You won’t be out much money and have a better riding experience 

I was actually gonna buy a walmart bike this weekend to ride around with the kids. So what are my other options if I don’t want to spend a butt load of money?

“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

It’s harder to justify cosplay with your taxpayer funded military equipment when looking for missing persons and rapists.

Bet if she had been an attractive 20 year old white woman they would have looked way harder.

In my 30 or years of seriously following law enforcement investigation engagement and tactics, this extraordinary story has me ready to argue the following: let’s take cold cases away from law enforcement agencies and officially crowd source them. It seems clear to me that the police are really, really good at solving…

I took an early retirement in 2020 and I haven’t looked back. Sold my home, moved cross country, and livin’ my life. I exercise daily and have lost 30 lbs during the pandemic. It’s wonderful what one can accomplish with less stress.

I’m honestly surprised it took them a full 4 hours to leave the scene, get back to the station, change back into their uniforms and drive back to the house they just shot at.

Same, I’m in Richmond and I seem to recalling some recent news relating to “south” history things happening in the city.

Moments like this are why it is important to make yourself comfortable with cannibalism. 

Wondering what definition of the South you use that doesn’t include Virginia?

How can it not be better, especially in this market, to pay the cost to repair this before selling it?

Prius swap. Because an EV conversion won't piss off enough people.

The Yaris was on the brakes for 3-4 seconds before the Land Rover hit it. The Land Rover driver wasn’t remotely paying attention to anything going on around them. It’s 100% their fault, not 85%.
