    As someone who cycles as my primary mode of transport for 8 months out of the year, I absolutely empathize with you about bad bicycle riders that endanger others.

    Where I live in the US, it’s legal to take as much of the lane as is needed to be safe. Often in the city that means riding in the middle of the lane so that I don’t get doored by parked cars, and sometimes it’s so cars have to completely move into the opposite lane to pass me – usually near intersections – because it’s the safest way for me to avoid getting physically pushed out of my lane. Many drivers don’t give a damn if they push a cyclist off the road or into a curb.

    Where I live It seems like most riders don’t alert when passing and it drive me nuts. They should know better.

    And finally, in the spirit of fairness, every bad habit you mentioned about cyclists can also be applied to cars, even driving on the damn sidewalk.











  • Looking at the specs of this HMD phone, I would not recommend it. The headphone jack and SD card slot are about all this phone has going for it. It’s underpowered, especially for a phone running Android 14. I guess it wouldn’t be too bad for people who just need the cheapest Android phone they can get.

    …There also appears to be a hole in the screen 🙃 (i loathe camera holes and screen “notches”).
