This one was the Australians. Collective Shout did that, a fucking crazy org if you look into their past. Murdoch was the virus that infected the world, though. Most Aussies are great people, but damn, their evil people really plumb the depths.

Don't you just love people that can't mind their own fucking business?

Damn, Rupert Murdoch and now this asshole. Australia has a monopoly on ruining media, lol.

Everyone saw that Hitler salute in 2024. There wasn't a person on the planet who didn't see that. I highly distrust anyone driving around in a 2025 Tesla, the new ones with the knockoff versions of the Lucid light bars. Creepy AF to see, especially in a theoretically "progressive" area. Salute aside, he's an enemy to just about everyone on the planet for multiple reasons.

At least we know now.

You might like this blog on The Rise of Whatever, which encapsulates exactly what you are talking about. It's very good.

Transit is pretty good for turn by turn on bikes!

I want one of these so bad. Slick, safe, and can carry a ton. Unfortunately they are made on the other side of the planet. Despite having a stellar biking network, we are just too far away, and domestic cargo bike options are few and far between. They also all share a very similar design language.

I love the modernity of this bike. Every ecargo bike should be festooned with lights, plenty of torque, and fat tires for tram rails and potholes.

I'd definitely do the disc brake conversion!

Tubeless are nice. Tubeless tire fluid is basically just like blood. When the tire is punctured (assuming it's not a catastrophic puncture) it will automatically reseal and coagulate around the hole. It's typically used more for off-road/downhill mountain biking. Some city bikes also use it, but dealing with a flat is much easier in the city.

Man, the scooter formfactor scares me past 20-25. I'd want much bigger wheels for something that can do north of 30. Imagine getting speed wobbles or hitting a fist-sized rock doing 50.

Thankfully it seems like this is exclusively for track use, but even then, good God that is really pushing the envelope of that formfactor.....

Hope this one holds up better than the last!

Can you swap the batteries and cassette from your old bike to your new one?

Here’s an idea: If we want safer streets, how about we start by addressing the machines that weigh two and a half tons and can hit 100 mph, not the ones that top out at 20 or 28 and are powered by a one-horsepower motor the size of an orange.

This made me chuckle on the train. Hilarious, but true. I like the orange comparison.
