Hi! I studied Nahuatl linguistics, so I can provide a little color here! Xochitl means “flower” in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs.

I’m pretty sure there’s just a drive axle going the length of the vehicle, and each seat/pedal set up is perpendicular to that axle and has a chain that turns that central axle.

One of the local tour operators has several mini versions with 6 seats in a circle. These have everything visible so you can see each set of pedals goes into a combining gearbox to drive the rear wheels.  

In my head, there’s a flywheel storing energy since i’d assume its mostly stop and go in the city.

I assume it’s a center drive shaft with chains to each pedal crank

This was especially hard for me too. My dad was a HUGE Tom Petty fan, and I grew up loving his music. I was driving home from work listening to the radio when I found out; I remember the DJ saying that one of the greats had just passed, and I had a flash of precognition that it would be Tom. When I heard his name I…

I saw his second to last show ever at the hollywood bowl. I’m on the young side to be a big fan but I am and I had never seen him before. Of course, the show was ridiculously great, one of the best shows I have ever been to. 

“The Sokovian Accords aren’t about “if you see a situation in front of you, you have to call William Hurt first before doing anything.””

I was skeptical, but that was legit awesome. And that breakdown at 2:40 is amazing.

Years later and I’m still mad about that American-style pie nonsense. Pettily downgrading for using blueberries or matcha or whatever just keeps that American pie papercut from ever healing.

In my opinion, this is a big omission:

David Lee Roth is on the line. He wants you to direct the next Van Halen music video.
