And it’s infuriating that we are planning highly disruptive and expensive road widening projects, when investments in public transportation and active transportation could remove the “need” to widen roads!

Car-centric infrastructure is not sustainable, and every time I hear people moan and bitch about taxes, they should know that it’s largely due to runaway road work and maintenance costs!

NOTE: the far left lable on the bottom chart is “less than 15 minutes.” Factor in several minutes for stop signs and red lights, WHY THE HELL DRIVE AT ALL? 😡

    What the fuck? I live in a place where you can’t leave them out, but you got bike-jacked thrice?

    I got insurance on mine, $25 a year covers both theft/damage and liability. As compared to about $3,000 for a car. At work I can park it inside the building but I’ve used it for shopping plenty, oddly enough there are bike racks at grocery stores here. Locked for a short time. If weather is dry I also pop out the battery and take it into the store.

      Like I said, that was just the first week, I’ve lost count of how many attempts.
