@Etnaphele Oh, and very nice photos!

@Etnaphele Nice.

I wouldn’t jump into worrying about increasing the rear rotor size. It is unlikely that you’ll ever notice the rear overheating, unless doing things to intentionally create it.

@CameronDev @Zachariah It is also conceptually the same thing happening :)

@theskyisfalling @limelight79 With the emergency feature sucking, boring live sharing of location would be the next best right? At least then your loved ones know where you are when you don’t return.

@limelight79 @Showroom7561 Yeah: ‘I looked and they weren’t there, therefore the only possible way I could have hit them is if they did this weird and implausible manoeuvre’

People will invent stories to tell themselves to feel good. They then will tell everyone else the story like it is fact.

People make for terrible evidence.

Log data with a computer. It is much harder to trick yourself this way.

@farbel @HiddenLayer555 Not much more, PT already moves more people than private vehicles around NYC: https://a816-dohbesp.nyc.gov/IndicatorPublic/data-explorer/walking-driving-and-cycling/?id=2415#display=summary

So to get from where it is to a “no private vehicles” utopia thre isn’t that much more to do. Probably as tramways on roads that will now be closed to cars. So not that expensive. But a couple more subways for some links that need more volume would probably be needed.

@limelight79 30 minutes? Sounds ideal.

@limelight79 @socsa No, you should have safe options for riding an ebike for your commute.

@Successful_Try543 @hemko I’m sure there is some language/legal jurisdiction differences, but isn’t suing for illegal but not criminal things and charges are for criminal acts and always brought by the state?

Operating while insolvent feels like more of a criminal thing to me, more than an illegal act.

@limelight79 @someguy3 Fixing the bike infrastructure so an ebike is suitable instead of a motor bike would help you a lot.

@someguy3 @VerPoilu Yeah, anything that shouldn’t be on a bike path should need registration.

@someguy3 The better infrastructure I was meaning it better options that don’t mingle with cars, so the slower speeds are fine.

And any trip that isn’t fast enough at 20mph should involve a train ;)

@limelight79 @someguy3 Just because other infrastructure sucks doesn’t mean other laws should suck, we should fix the infrastructure.

@psud I really should try a recumbent bike one day, I enjoyed my trike but the bikes always scared me. But I should give one a try.

@psud I got enough skin taken off my knee at 20kmph to make dancing at my wedding 6 weeks later sketchy.

Although that was gravel.

@psud @snekerpimp honestly the gravel rash you can get at 40kmph is pretty significant, and hills to get that much speed aren’t weird.

@atzanteol @CompactFlax read the article, it is just expanding the current vehicle laws it include cyclists.

So in all likelyhood cyclists will get slaps on the wrist like drivers to.

@limelight79 @versefedi Attempted Manslaughter feels like an oxymoron to me. Attempted requires intent and Manslaughter requires lack of intent?
