r/Reno

Woman in the SUV tried to blast through the red on Mill going west by the GSR, got stuck behind this truck, and ended up sitting dead center in the intersection blocking traffic like he was surprised consequences exist. Absolute Reno NPC behavior.

Filmed today in Reno. Kid, ~12, on an e-motorcycle doing 40mph on the wrong side of the road. Moments before I pulled my phone out, he was throttling it at 60 past the elementary school.

I’m a cyclist and a parent, not only a grumpy man tired leaving work. I’m posting because I’m scared as a driver that one of these kids will do something dumb and I’ll be the one living with the trauma after the end up under my truck, and as a cyclist because every driver who gets buzzed by one of these kids carries that frustration into their next interaction with an actual cyclist who’s just trying not to get killed on their commute.

These aren’t e-bikes. No pedals, 40-60+mph. In Nevada that’s legally a motorcycle, needs registration, plates, an M endorsement, rider 16+. None of that is happening.

I get Reno is hilly and pedal-assist makes sense to help kids get around. But why isn’t the line “pedal-assist only”, when the kid still has to pedal and the motor helps? What’s the case for letting a 12-year-old throttle a 60mph machine with no pedals at all on open roads.

So what’s the actual case for this, other than “stop being a bitch”? Obviously it looks fun. They’re rad machines. But wtf man, a 12-year-old, on the wrong side of the road, at 40, with tunnel vision. What’s the case for being complicit with this as a community.

I’m at Home Depot picking up stuff for a job. Pay, head out, get in my car, and end up stuck behind this truck at the exit.

There’s a woman nearby with a little cart, not a Home Depot cart, just one of those small street carts loaded with fruit she’s selling.

The dude in the truck starts yelling at her, full-on screaming “GO BACK TO MEXICO!” and cussing her out.

She just smiles and keeps walking, still pushing her cart.

Like… seriously? She’s literally out there hustling, trying to make a living.

As I finally pull up closer to the truck I see why he’s acting like that. He’s got deportation stickers and all that crap slapped on the back.

People like that don’t belong in Reno, or anywhere, honestly. Fuck that guy.

“TRUMP REPUBLICAN” 🤢

Damn this thing is awesome! Now to fill it up.

Edit: the dog is getting showered with treats at sutro firehouse while getting a chip-scan as of 7:45pm

Wife picked up the dog by valley street after it was “almost hit by 2 cars” (she has a history of bringing home lost dogs) and the collar has no information. Hit me up if its yours

USA parkway is fucked. Our power gird is next. All those USA parkway jobs owe it to the community, their should have been taxes aside for a train. I have to pay a tax for they cities landscaping adjoining my house, these welfarlionaire's got to skip that one. Nice​, very doge thinking of the city.​

at kietzke and Peckham yesterday.

We are going to host a Fly open house, nature walk, & soak. Y'all are invited, r/BurningMan folks. We'd love to host you and your friends and family.

We’ve invited our neighbors at Fly and friends in town and in the area. We did this twice last year and posted about it on r/BurningMan here and here.

We’ve talked about wanting to regularly (once or twice a year?) have an open house like this where people can just show up, walk around, and soak. We did those two open houses last year, but didn’t do soaks, which would be the new experiment here. We think it’s good for neighborly relations and friendships, fun to host people in general, and also good to address the perception Fly is closed or unavailable.

I get that perception. We as a three person team do as much as we can to make it available for folks to participate and enjoy the space. If this doesn't work, there are a few hundred other days a year when you can come be a Fly Guardian, join a Saturday nature walk, join a Sunday Labyrinth walk with Will & Crimson, join a campout, or join a Sunday community soak. Further info here: https://flyranch.burningman.org/#visit

We can also give out some produce from the farm and garden at Fly, and honey from the fly beehives. Hope to see you there! Feel free to tell your friends in Gerlach and the area. Questions, comments, and suggestions for future iterations of this program welcome.
