Just took a quick turn through Mountain View on my friend's bike.

Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

Bikeshare systems that block tourists is a bigger problem than just Barcelona. I’ve encountered this is Madrid and Zurich as well.

Bikeshare Shouldn’t Kick Tourists to the Curb
Barcelona’s bikeshare program excludes non-Spanish visitors. Other cities charge tourists much higher fees to rent two-wheelers. Which policy makes more sense?
