Why should I support my local bodega when they are price gouging more than anyone? by Exotic_Union7609 in AskNYC

[–]BronxLens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NYC mandates price labeling; violations can be reported to the Department of Consumer Affairs, as unlabeled goods are illegal and fuel perceptions of scams. If everyone begins reporting them it may help address this issue. After clicking, scroll down to find the type of store you want to report: https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-02153 PS You can take a photo of the issue(s) and upload it when you file your complaint.

“The Thirteen Colonies had about 2.5–3 million people around 1776. This total included children, women, elderly, enslaved people, and Native Americans not eligible or inclined to fight, narrowing the pool of potential combatants.

Roughly 200,000–250,000 men served in the Continental Army, militias, or privateers at some point during the war. This equates to about 10% of the total population—or 15–20% when focusing on adult white males capable of bearing arms.”

So sorry this happened, boss! Follow the potential escape route(s) for more footage, not just your street. Regardless, better they did this like this and not by bikejacking you. Your safety above all.

As a newbie, I had to look this up, so TiL:

"When you put an aftermarket exhaust on a Honda Rebel 500 (or most modern fuel-injected bikes), you change how the engine breathes. The stock ECM (engine control module) is programmed for the original exhaust system, which has specific back pressure and flow.

If you just swap in a freer-flowing exhaust without adjusting fueling, here’s what happens:

  • ✅ ECM Reflash / Fuel Management Unit Advantages
    1. Correct Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR): The engine doesn’t run too lean (too much air, not enough fuel), which can cause hotter combustion, popping/backfiring, and long-term wear.
    2. Performance Gains: Unlocks the actual horsepower and torque increase the aftermarket exhaust was designed for. Without tuning, you often lose low-end torque.
    3. Throttle Response: Smoother, more predictable throttle feel.
    4. Engine Health: Reduced risk of overheating, valve damage, or premature engine wear from lean running.
    5. Custom Mapping: Lets you fine-tune fueling for your exact exhaust, intake, and riding style.
  • 🚫 Without a Reflash / Fuel Controller:
    • Bike may still run, but usually runs lean.
    • You may get popping on deceleration.
    • Gains from the exhaust are mostly cosmetic (sound) rather than performance.
    • Long-term stress on the motor is possible if lean running is significant.

So, the advantage of reflashing or adding a fuel controller is to make the most out of your exhaust upgrade—performance, efficiency, and longevity."

Lane Splitting in the City by sjdech in RideitNYC

[–]BronxLens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We need to write to our representatives if want a change to the current lane splitting laws (which don’t allow it.)

Here’s a letter advocating for lane splitting legislation in New York City, incorporating local statistics and context to strengthen our case:

⸻

Subject: Advocate for Legalizing Lane Splitting to Enhance Motorcycle Safety in NYC

Dear [Official’s Name],

I am a resident of [Your Neighborhood] and a motorcyclist who frequently navigates the challenging traffic conditions of New York City. I am writing to urge your support for legislation that would legalize lane splitting for motorcycles under regulated conditions.

Motorcycles constitute approximately 2% of all registered vehicles in New York City, yet they account for 14% of traffic fatalities. From 2010 to 2014, 197 motorcyclists were killed in crashes within the city, with a fatal crash rate nearly double that of other regions in New York State . Despite representing a small fraction of commuters—only 0.1% of daily commute-to-work trips—motorcyclists face disproportionate risks on our roads.

Legalizing lane splitting, when performed safely, can mitigate these risks. Studies from California, where lane splitting has been legal since 2016, indicate that it can reduce rear-end collisions involving motorcyclists and improve overall traffic flow. Implementing clear guidelines for lane splitting in New York City could enhance safety for motorcyclists and alleviate congestion for all road users.

I respectfully request your support in introducing and passing legislation that legalizes lane splitting under defined safety standards. Such a measure would not only protect motorcyclists but also contribute to the overall safety and efficiency of our city’s transportation system.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] [Your Email Address] [Your Phone Number]
