Show PostI know these switchbacks! Yeah the e-motos have definitely arrived in Kent. I was walking my bike on a busy sidewalk downtown at night recently and they rode right through honking their horn. Poor form & I worry it will come back to harm responsible cyclists.
Show PostI don't think I've shared my enthusiasm for vintage Vespas with Bluesky yet, but it's definitely a thing with me. This 1965 Vespa GS is fully restored and not really a "daily driver". It was such a lovely evening though, so I decided to take it out for a spin. It really is a fun little bike!

Yet there's 40k road deaths a year and opposition to fines in the mail for dangerous criminal activity. Because the US socially constructs violent crime as something poorer non-drivers would do.
