It's a beauty. You're welcome to try it. I got it at White Pine and it has some anti-theft technology!

Yeah, I got a fat e-bike that is just a game changer. Add studded tires and I'm invincible.

Let's raise some hell then, shall we?

But you know, proper snow clearing and priority clearing after a storm isn't a priority here. We're not Oulu. That'll Never Work Here.

maybe we should do like the chair of public works and hire private security for the bike lanes. LOL.

why are you complaining? there are more drivers than pedestrians you know? A driver might get mad.

“No advocate who is doing bold things is undefeated. I won't sugarcoat it: You will lose sometimes. I won't lie to you and say, "Jump in, the water is fine." The water is not fine. I want you to jump in anyway.” Loving it. Wow. So good.

I would love to have these just randomly pop up every few minutes for every single ride, every route, every city... maybe speeders wouldn't speed at all.
