Is there anything to be done about reckless kids on the 606?

From experience I can tell you being a teenager in the city is really hard. Everyone is out to get you and automatically assumes the worst, plus there’s nowhere to hang out.

Also it’s good to encourage youth cycling and being social in public. The 606 is a shared, safe place for youngsters and should stay that way. Yadda yadda.

With all that said, man, I’m just trying to get home to my family without breaking my arm. These gd kids have way too much confidence and like 0.001% control. No skill, no awareness, just blind trust that we’ll all look out for them.

And that’s the end of my old-fart rant.

My Lucky Pierre, now with fenders

I wanted a commuter but all I had was a used LP frame, so I made it into a commuter by forcing fenders on to it, and also bags all over.

I had to cut holes in the fenders b/c the v-brake was hitting, so now water sprays everywhere. It’s great.

A nice lady on the internet made the frame bag. The Sewing Wiz(?) I think.

Anyway the bike is 14 years old and has cracks all over the carbon, so enjoy it while it lasts people.

I made a fidget out of all the weird links I had.

I only had 3 weird links but that’s ok. One of them is really weird.

Wait I’m confused. Teenagers on scooters are getting hit by cars, so the solution is to regulate scooters. But not the cars. The cars that are crashing into the scooters: you’re golden. Scooter riders are at fault for getting crashed into?

So if I take my scooter education course and follow every law but I get hit by a drunk SUV driver going the wrong way, do I submit my suggestion to update the scooter education course through an app or is it going to be automated with AI?

Personally, my driving habits are pretty inelastic b/c I only drive when it’s necessary and there are no other options, so my number is about $20/gallon. The current $5/6 per gallon really doesn’t seem too bad to me.

What about the rest of you?
