Old fashioneds are better with rye, anyway. Substandard quips are my own, and otherwise yelled from a bicycle. Слава Україні!
On the road, so they ride on a sidewalk/MUP! You get buzzed by a kid just going to a friend's place, and you misplace your anger.

Maybe instead of just reflexively shouting at the problem, think and yell at people that can make a difference like your city council

Anyone who hacks an e-bike's ECU would leave themselves open to litigation because they're on a modified vehicle.

The battle isn't about speed or licensing, it's about infrastructure. If people could move at 30kmh an hour safely on the road, they will! The issue is that they don't feel safe

TDF riders often exceed 50kmh, that's an average speed.

And most people lack the knowledge or ability to to hack the ECUs. And a majority of the people riding them don't care to!

You're argument isn't about the speed or safety, it's about the young'uns scaring you when you're out for a walk

A pseudo-intellectual's dream!

Compared to what? I ride an analog bike at 35-40 kmh regularly. Worst injury I've ever had was a cracked rib. For reference, that's *faster* than what an e-bike is *limited* to.

And the cracked rib was from aggressive singletrack riding at a lower speed than that.

A Chrysler Intrepid! Wow, my stars!

It's stuff like this that makes me miss my MTB.

A lot of dots just got connected for me there. That's why all of the "On the Run" stores had these little M&M shops pop up in them

Yep. Fast Travel home to upgrade weapons, and that's it. Everything else, I nab the upgrades when I'm in town or even opportunistically at a camp site.

Did I do that right?
November 29, 2025 at 7:37 PM
My condolences
November 29, 2025 at 7:37 PM
Seriously. It's a game that I *feel bad* for using fast travel. Travel and exploration is a joy, not a chore.

When the combat clicks, it clicks. Theres something about the whole system when you find the right rhythm.

Yeah I've never liked that.

I've had water bottles confiscated at outdoor concerts because "outside booze".

I got confrontational one time and poured out the water on the guys shoes.
