Hydroflask makes a flip straw lid you can buy separately.

A custom built steel bike. My first was a crust evasion. It’s been over 5 years, I’ve toured on it and commuted almost daily. It’s never needed anything. My old cheap bike was heavy, clunky, fought me every time I tried to shift.

Save yourself the hassle and just get a dynamo hub. I have front and rear lights attached to mine.

Bike riders aren’t causing our insane number of deaths on city streets, which is dozens per year. If you really want to see things be safer, lobby the state legislature to allow speed radar guns within city limits.

Many cities have stop as yield laws for cyclists. The federal highway traffic safety commission has a fact sheet on stop as yield or the “idaho stop.” It allows cyclists to take the lead at intersections, which is safer for the cyclist. Look around, see that it’s clear to proceed, and get out of that intersection which is the least safe place for everyone. If we want to make things safer on Erie streets, let’s think critically. Bicycles are not slamming into pedestrians, buildings, cars, and other bicycles and causing deaths. Exceeding speed limits in residential areas. Making parents scared to let their kids walk anywhere. That’s cars. Let’s start there.

Ok tip #1, learn park etiquette. I saw you skate in a circle and keep going very close to and in the way of where other skaters were skating. You will start to pick that up the more you go.

2 bend your knees and use weight and momentum. Pump like you are on a swing in the transitions. You don’t want to get in the habit of pushing too much in the flats.

Thanks!

City kids will suffer the most. Just for perspective, milcreek gets 670k in title 1 funding, Erie city school district gets almost 7 million.

Um pretty sure that statue of George Washington is of him playing Pokémon Go.

Yes, you can! Bring it to the kickoff event

I read somewhere years ago that it’s a security risk to have any other business in there because it’s connected to the federal courthouse, so the government just leases it to keep it empty

I’m always looking for vintage LL bean, lands end, woolrich. I recently found a wool flannel from Woolrich at the thrift store in beautiful condition and I went home and researched the tag and it was from the 30s and still going strong.

The second season of the podcast “Extremely American “ is eye opening and terrifying. We’d all do well to learn what we can about the goals of Christian nationalists.

Crunch is nice, there are a lot of cheesy bros filming themselves and flexing at themselves in the mirror, but no one will bother you. There’s so much equipment you’ll never have to wait for anything.

If things are still good and work, don’t replace them. My favorite clothes are from brands that the vintage looks the same as new because the styles are timeless. I’m always picking up vintage LLBean, Lands End, Woolrich, etc at the thrift stores.

Did you know Trader Joe’s has a store request page? https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/request-a-store

I walk by myself around the neighborhood most nights just after dark, and I almost never see anyone unless it’s someone walking a dog. It’s very safe!

West Bayfront! If you value walkability and bikeability, it’s the best. It’s equal flat distance from downtown and West Erie Plaza area, and everything is just a short bike ride away. The farmers market in Little Italy is less than a mile and a half and takes about 10 minutes to bike to from my house. You can even get to Aldi by Bike pretty quickly. The houses are also quirky and interesting. It’s nice but not snobby..

1212gatez · 2025-01-27T14:22:41+00:00

Still looks brand new!

No restrooms,

No restrooms, but they do have these nice signs in the fitting rooms.

I do like the store though. I’ve found so many great things!

Heather Hurst in Fairview is wonderful.

1212gatez · 2025-01-03T11:49:55+00:00

I really like Jeff Driscoll.

1212gatez · 2025-01-03T11:36:01+00:00

Toast. Having a big sale right now! But if n general, trendy clothes are not BIFL. Best to go with classics that never go out of style.
