What’s with the huge chrome doilies where the wheels should be?

Looks like it left a pile of rust dust at the impact site. Could be a Charger that’s lived in Detroit for 40 years.

Retractable leashes are the most ridiculous, nonsensical thing to begin with. This takes it to a new level doofussery. It’s like using a battery-operated GPS-enabled LED digital spoon to eat cereal.

Anyone remember e-Quill? About 10 years ago it let you mark up any web page in your browser with simple highlighting, drawing, and commenting tools, and share a link to the marked-up page with anyone. They were bought by Microsoft, I think, and shut down. I haven’t found an easy, similar service since.

Exactly — this kid looked left for traffic, started to proceed, then decided to stop for no reason just as his mom was looking left for traffic. Being unpredictable like that is just asking to get hit.

I’m a sucker for Miami Vice-style night driving videos with Phil Collins soundtracks, but the edit at 1:47 is unforgivable. And what’s with the gratuitous lane-weaving? Drunk robbery?

No. The name of the avionics system in use by highly-trained pilots does not need to be changed. Pilots don’t fly Piper Cubs for 35 years and then just step into a G4 without comprehensive training on all the systems.

The name of the Tesla system in use by social-media experts who can’t parallel park does need to be…

Since we already have “brodozed,” I propose that “Captained-out” means imitating the look of an 80s Eldorado or Lincoln Town Car driven by a Florida retiree dressed like Judge Smails. Whitewall tires, wire or chrome spoked wheels, landau top, gold trim, etc.

As a rider, I’d also be upset at a driver intentionally ignoring me, but I’m not gonna make the situation worse to prove a point.

Access to Evernote Web is unaffected.

I thought I was going to be upset by the announcement, but in reality I use Evernote primarily on one PC and my iPhone. I can deal with using the web client on various oddball systems when I need to.

The FOMO is strong here, but given that I already have trouble deciding which course to take next, I may just take this as nature’s way of narrowing things down.

This is asinine and should be thrown out of court. Drive-thrus don’t allow sighted people to walk up either. It isn’t discrimination, it’s risk management.

McD’s would happily sell food to walk-up customers at the drive-thru window if it wasn’t guaranteed that when one was inevitably run over by a car, McD’s would be…

I’m thinking that’s gonna rattle like crazy every time a truck drives by.

“Martland” — love this! Might be a typo for Maryland but I read it as “typical cookie-cutter strip-mall metro area.”

Pardon, but...

“Ferrari DeTomaso Pantera” (not)

I don’t expect special treatment because of extra vulnerability, and have avoided several potential accidents via RAITOTKY (Ride As If They’re Out To Kill You.) But paying attention to what you’re doing isn’t special treatment. Distracted drivers are a hazard to everyone on the road, not just cyclists.

Where did I extrapolate to all drivers? I just suggested that the safety features in some modern vehicles may help enable a specific set of distracted drivers.

Hasn’t there been an outcry about how deadly these things are, even to motorists? I feel like I saw a 20/20 segment or something...

Contributing to distracted drivers: GPS-equipped, self-parking, lane-departure-warning, auto-braking vehicles with an omnidirectional cocoon of airbags lulling ignorant drivers into a sense of invincibility that encourages latte-sipping, texting, toddler feeding, and other non-driving activities behind the wheel.

It’s…
