Thanks Omaha

I drank once when I was 17 but didn’t really care for it (rootbeer and vodka, not great, not terrible).

Fair point, even with guns there’s spall that can get you if the bullets hit something hard, but the fact that we don’t use this kind of design kinda highlights that it’s not worth the trade off of visibility vs protection.

Good luck taking a round to the head even with this thing on.

Privacy violations galore?

Would recommend! If you want an inexpensive folding bike check out the Tern BYB or Zizzo’s offerings if you’re in the US. If you want something like a Brompton, they’re still expensive but check out brompnots like Takachia, Cranston, Mint, etc.

I have a Priority Folder, it’s a little pricier, but it has a belt drive and internally geared hub, so it’s significantly lower maintenance than most other bikes.

This is why I just bring a folding bike.

A Debian based distro is probably your best bet (Mint is my favorite, but there’s a few options including Ubuntu and of course Debian itself).

Coffee is my drug of choice and my work provides it for me. Thank you, work.

I’m struggling to decide between hasselback, mashed, potato cakes, and scalloped.

To make matters worse, I have discovered the existence of bloomin potatoes and pommes anna.

I was going to say hasselback but now I might change my answer.

Yeah, my bike commute is usually faster and e-bike is always faster because I don’t have to fuck with parking: My bikes fold up under my desk too, so I don’t even worry about bike racks (which is good because my building doesn’t really have one).

At least you got a response.

Just what nobody wanted!

I’m not saying it would be practical in your case, but you could definitely carry 6 weeks of groceries on a cargo bike (electric would be better given the load though).

Hell, you might even be able to do that on a regular bike. I can fit at least 60 liters of groceries into my Portola (a compact folding e-bike), and that isn’t even including the top rear cargo rack. In an actual mid-sized cargo bike, you could probably fit like 2+ months of groceries.

If you don’t have a safe path to get there though, it doesn’t really matter how much you can fit onto any bike. In your case, you’d need a motorcycle.

4 miles is nothing on a bike, 30 isn’t too crazy either. I think people misunderstand just how far you can travel on a bicycle. Having the infrastructure to do it is another matter though, there’s some super dangerous country roads where it’s 50+mph with no shoulders.

Lots of weight and heart disease I bet.

On a related note, I rode my bike to work today and it was great.

While I’m here, I guess I should plug !micromobility@lemmy.world

I primary ride regular bikes, but I still think this law is bullshit.
