Only if nobody else is present. This is more for quiet city areas where you have a clear line of sight, and nobody is even around. If someone is at a stop sign, you legally have to stop too.

Chain is toast, chainring might also need to be replaced. The brake cable probably needs replacing if the brakes don't work. The brake pads might also need to be replaced, and both tire tubes probably either need to be replaced or patched.

If it's purely just for learning, go for it. But that might be a lot of money in tools / parts and a significant amount of time. I'd probably buy a bike that is less thrashed.

Fwiw, you can have a perfectly normal bike and still spend lots of time learning to fix it. I'd lean towards that, I think.

Hal0 4 and Below Zero come to mind. Facebook buying beatsaber and ruining it with their filthy little hands, too. It took a huge nosedive in quality.

Do people really fold their folding bikes up like, every time they use one? The Radcity one my spouse uses is a huge PITA to fold up, and it's barely more portable than a small electric bike.

Yep, there's a fuckload of minerals on the moon, and in our solar system. Enough metals to probably crash a handful of industries on Earth. The moon would be a useful gateway to many of the outer planets since it's gravity is weaker, and there's no atmosphere, in addition to the raw materials.

For mining, refueling* and power generation*, the moon makes a ton of sense.

*Some of these require technologies we don't yet have, but may soon.

That looks like a very good swing in the background :)

It's a cool plant. I've almost memorized my favorite plant book. Almost. Apparently it's not actually native, it's introduced from Europe!

Looks like tansy! Don't eat it. Wear gloves if you remove it, and wash your hands thoroughly if you handle it. It's native to the west, but also is poisonous.

 

Even low-level government employees like elementary school teachers and nurses have been ordered to hand in their passports, to enforce “discipline.”


Only a matter of time till things start going this way. For Super Earth.

Of the 121 pedestrians killed in traffic last year, 120 were struck by a car while one person died after being hit by an electric bike, according to city transportation department data compiled by Transportation Alternatives.

 

TIL that crunches and situps are bad for your spine. And sitting for long periods of time.

 

Rocks gathered along the Colorado River contained evidence of a bustling community of animals in an ancient sea.

I use Transit, but I'm always curious what else is out there, particularly for bike navigation on protected bike lanes.

 

In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending.

“Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said. Asked if people might reconsider in light of the catastrophe, he said, “I don’t know.”

The National Weather Service’s San Angelo office, which is responsible for some of the areas hit hardest by Friday’s flooding, was missing a senior hydrologist, staff forecaster and meteorologist in charge [said].

That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees, according to a person with knowledge of his departure.

 

I found it while looking for outfits for pride, and I really like the look. If it helps, here's where I found the source image:
