To be fair the guitar also went through this when the electric version came out.

Imagine if the industry had figured this out when they came out with clipless pedals.

A big part of it is advocates and the industry wanted to avoid creating a bikes and e-bike dichotomy in an attempt to avoid restrictive regulations. “An e-bike is a bike.” So a new subcategory had to be created for what we called bikes before.

It’s weird when you have to come up with a new term for something that’s been around for nearly 200 years. Maybe it’s because I live in Nashville, but I’ve always cringed when people called bikes “acoustic “.

Prague just opened the new Dvorecký Bridge. It's exclusively for trams, buses, bikes, and pedestrians. Private cars are completely banned.

It’s the dirty soda trend. Started with the Mormons.

Oh that’s a photo of it when it was new. I can’t remember ever seeing it that clean.

Monday I rode over to Union Station so we could take a group ride to the new Brickline Greenway opening. I confess I’ve walked and ridden the greenway already but wanted to celebrate a win

center running bike lanes on Gravois? 😬

I think they wanted to pretend his military service was a path out of poverty and not just because he liked the idea of killing people.

Happy birthday

When automation was just theoretical, there was always the idea that people would be given UBI so the economy could function.

Oh... that's what he meant by "life force."

How is the 16th Street Mall now? I haven't been there in 30 years.

Yeah, add that to the list of reasons not to use self-checkout.
1. This should be someone's job
2. I'm not getting paid to do it
3. Cameras and AI bullshit

I saw he took it down because it was getting too much attention, and his wife is a private person.

35 human beings have been killed on Nashville roads so far this year, up 25%.

I remember when they introduced it when I lived in St. Louis (2003), and no one used it. Grocery store workers are unionized and had just recently gone through a strike/lockout, and the whole city refused to cross the picket line.

What did the post say. A woman got arrested because the stupid self-checkout didn't work?

How is the mixing with turning traffic at the bottom of the hill?

Wow, only a quarter into the year.

Pretty wild that there are no bike racks on that brand new complete street.

Here in Nashville, there's a lot of new construction. I've seen several apartment buildings have their siding and casing replaced due to water damage after a couple of years.

So this conspiracy is dumb, but mine, that people didn’t drink water until bottled water came out is true. Did you ever see anyone drinking water before 1996? No one had water bottles. If you were thirsty you went to 7-11 and got Super Big Gulp like a normal person.

Must be time travelers.

I imagine any buses with cloth seats are old enough they should have been retired. They might be kicking around still because some of the newer buses had horrible transmissions.
