It seems like I'm paying double for just internet. Once through Spectrum, the second through Sprint. I don't really use the internet at home though when I'm not there (other than Dropbox pulling down photos from my phone). What would be awesome is if there was a device that I drop my phone into when I get home that would use it to provide internet to my computer network and possibly even power up land line phones.
I guess I could use a Raspberry Pi to wireless gateway my lan using my phone's hotspot.
Ug...again...really? Does this question have to come up everytime. When I see these car free articles and this question always comes up, my first though is "It isn't a total band. Not everything can be done by bicycle (but damn near it). The work truck industry will be fine. It will just be less cars to fight with in traffic, and also easier to find a parking spot." We are trying to de-emphasize the need for personal automobiles to transport 1 or 2 people short distances. Public transportation will still be around, delivery trucks will still be around.
I second this as well. The sound of wind over your ears drowns out lots of sound. However, city buses are the worse though with rear mounted engines. I don't hear the bus until I see it going by.
You try getting your neighbors to put these in over the sidewalks, I have a hard enough time just getting them to trim the bushes away.
These make a lot of sense for sidewalks, they melt snow when needed, and then collect energy the rest of the time. Considering nobody bothers to shovel sidewalks anymore, we only have to gain from this.
Snow sitting on the road reflects the sunlight, thus keeping the road under it from heating up and melting whats on top. While it is snowing, it is also way to cloudy to heat up what hasn't been covered yet.
Something I'm not hearing is at what time of day it was and what direction the car was going. Something from my early driving days that impacted me hard was driving through my neighborhood (tight, narrow, curvy streets with both sides of parking) in the evening and the sun was right infront of me. Speeds at about 10~15mph (military housing) and still only had about 2 seconds to react to a pickup truck coming out of the glare. Literally, the glare was so bad it was like somebody walking through a heavy bead curtain infront of me.
I was still going too fast for the conditions. My speed should have been dead slow, but the other guys conditions wouldn't be the same as mine in this case and thus may have been driving.
They are required to have the bar on the rear which acts as a bumper if you will, but the only time trailers are lower than this is if there technical requirement for it.
And in these burbs, myself and my kids have almost been killed riding bikes on the sidewalk, because people don't stop before the crosswalk or look going in and out of driveways. (No seriously, both kids have had to dodge cars entering the crosswalk without stopping at the line). When riding on the streets with me, nothing even close to that.
A cyclist using a full lane is the right and proper way to cycle (ever since the 1800's). They are not obstructing traffic, they are traffic. The bike isn't going to cause a crash. The person driving 45+ around curves without slowing down will be doing the crashing. You shouldn't single out bicycle from the legal road users group that could also be stopped or slow at any given moment on the road.
That is what he was saying, you just quoted cars that people wanted to keep so they did everything they could to keep them on the road. How many of the Chevelles though are the base line Malibus they was based on? I have seen, maybe, 1 in my life. Thing is, that they are not daily drivers anymore and they are no more reliable now than they was then. It is just easier to get spar parts for them these days since you can build one from a catalog.
"When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for manâ(TM)s convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of manâ(TM)s brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle." Elizabeth West, 'Hovel in the Hills'
If you park on the wrong side of the road and a large vehicle parks in front of you, there isn't a sufficient line of side from the drivers seat (which is on the edge of the road) into the lane you are watching. They only way to see then is to start pulling out of the spot.
When parking on the correct side, your mirror is more than enough to see clear down the street.
Boston is notorious for bad drivers, it is not an example.
Yeah, but the map of North America looks funny with all these different nation states, and I'm getting tired of being shot down by a guy that brags about his two first names.
Does you net tax calculation include the cost of road repairs caused by motor vehicles that are not paid for by gas taxes? http://www.citylab.com/commute...
"They have their head down fucking around with their phone, not knowing if they are actually still in their own lane."
Exactly.
Their eyes are on the screen, not looking at the brake lights on the car in front of them, or the little kid in front of that car that just ran out in the street after his dog did.
Well thank you, but you are in the minority of behaviors. I have seen other smokers walk around, in the crowd, at crowded county fair with a lite one at waist level. I am surprised I have not heard about a child getting burned on the forehead.
"It's not a health hazard, which is about all you can say for it."
I'm sure my wife would agree with you if she didn't have to hit her inhaler after being around it. Mind you she doesn't even have to use it after working out at the gym.
This is so underrated. I have been hit with butts, still lite, on the freeway, while riding a motorcycle. It bounced of my headlight and my windshield. If those 2 things was not in way, then it would have been in my lap starting a fire. Oh, this has happened so many times while in my car as well. I drive with the windows down so I don't know how I haven't had a fire yet.
They wouldn't let anybody drive by and flip a bottle cap into their yard, but they will be happy to flick a butt in yours. Call them out on the littering and you might as well be punching them in the face.

Or maybe we just went out for the food, and don't have anything to talk about today.
Unless your state is Ohio, then they charge it on April 15.
Don't you mean the question/answer section:
I don't know how useful the reviews are, but I bought the blue one for a christmas present for my great god nephew and it smells great. -cluelesspawn
Naw, your dead already. The amount of caffeine in your system is just keeping your corpse animated for a few more years.

smaller is better

Not in America, the side skirts are considered only for the fuel efficiency. This is the current standard:

Some use service dogs. The moving cane will be really hard to make out driving at 45mph

Wasn't that strike only a week long at that? I would hate to see what would have happened should the building burn down.
