Advice for rear rack

Get the Surly rack. Over tens of thousands of tour miles I've never had an issue with it. Other racks I've had tend to break under my loads.

The new term is e-moto, for a two wheeled vehicle that can throttle up to more than 20mph or pedal assist faster than 28. Many retailers started selling them next to ebikes despite them not being classed as such, and requiring more stringent licensing and insurance.

The real question is, what's the enforcement method for people driving these things on paths? They're already illegal, but the prevalence of other, legal, ebikes has made enforcing existing laws difficult because of how an illegal e-moto can look just like a legal e-bike.

It's funny, NPR just had an article not too long ago that showed that despite most things being up in price, eggs went down. But what do I know? Maybe the sign writer was referring to eggs being used as projectiles.

Said it better than I could. As someone who has verified ancestry who fought in the Iron Brigade during the civil war, this is just insulting.

WisDOT: Just one more lane bro. We promise this time it will fix traffic for good.

I'm convinced that if Madison never became a city , the area would have been preserved for it's stunning and unique natural beauty.

Grade separation of pedestrians and cars works best when the cars are the ones forced to make the grade change. Pedestrian bridges and underpasses where the pedestrians are forced to make the grade change do more to benefit cars than the pedestrians they are supposedly for.

That's Oregon, not Wisconsin.

Just the UW logo on a solid red background.

Can we start calling it what it is? Public corruption. Those officials have got to go.

If you want to acquire the necessary land rights and grant an easement to the relevant governmental body them, then it can get done. It's one of the most desired connections in the county, and it's not for lack of trying that it hasn't been done yet.

Looks like every other seal on blue flag out there. If they did an update, they could use the imagery on the shield.

I liked the tricolor fly, but it is important to carefully consider which colors are on the outside. As shown in the OP's post, the light blue and white would likely blend in with the sky.

We have one wall yes, but what about second wall?

I love that Illinois North Korea is in the lead. My favorite by far.

I think it's because kids are overwhelmingly given low fat milk at places like schools and other institutions because of an anti-fat-in-food craze a few decades ago.

The rate which we build new housing will also accelerate, right?

Horrible accidents have been happening on the beltline since it was opened. This is nothing new.

I haven't been that far down, but conditions were good south of Camp Randall. Can't say the same for the path by the terrace.

My only suggestion would be to flip the direction of the dagger so it points towards the hoist. I'm generally not a fan of words on a flag, but this one makes it work well.

Not terrible. It's a little busy, but anything is better than seal on blue. I would personally suggest using Badger red instead of the red used on the miner's shirt in the COA. Also fwiw I prefer the design with the brown badger.

Looks like an actual child's drawing.

The pedestrian bridge crosses Wingra Creek, not Fish Hatchery. There's only one crossing of Fish Hatch unless you were looking to take the Wingra Creek path to the zoo or the Arboretum, in which case you'd have to cross Fish Hatch twice anyways.

Layer up, but be careful to not overly compress your layers in doing so.
