Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I got a bike! We live in a small city with recent bike lane upgrades and very bad parking downtown, so being small and maneuverable is a game changer.

My commute is half of what it was on public transport, and comparable to driving. I found a bakery close by with zero parking and excellent food. I went to the night market last night on a whim, and didn't have to deal with parking garages or navigating around road closures and Friday night traffic. I just... showed up.

And I've nearly convinced my partner to buy one, too.

Being able to stop everywhere, without worrying about parking is the biggest perk of riding a bike
