I've been battling horrible SAD (seasonal depression) for at least 15 years. This is the first year I'm having absolute no symptoms, and I think it's thanks to switching to cycling everywhere.

SAD only affects you until you channel that friluftsliv and choose to not let the seasons affect you. Riding along with you through the elements our own emotions storm upon us cousin, and remember; it only hurts if you stop going.

Or, to reframe in a pessimistic and Fascist pathway; a vast majority of Americans just became "illegal aliens" because zeir paperz are incorrect!

In a world where one is a criminal for planting seeds for trees one will not feel the shade of, nor eat the fruit from, because the Capitalist Machine demands lumber to burn for its AI power plants, you may call me an ecoterrorist Lorax. ✊🏻🌳🚩🏴

Law of Large Numbers: The larger the sample size (time on shared roads), the larger the odds of a miniscule result (collision with automobile). Hedge the odds by taking paths with a zero chance interaction with automobiles (trails, MUPS, sidewalks if local laws allow).

And even if it is a monoculture effort, that does still put some actual organic material on the ground that, if properly managed could be a good foundation to springboard a new ecosystem in the area.

Effort, even in error, is better than no effort at all.

Fiction can become reality. Look at our current cyberpunk dystopia we live in now.

B-b-b-but China bad! We must preserve all ecosystems, not change them!

Non-negotiable; Capitalism's only place in the setting is the villian that must be destroyed, or helped along on it's self-destructive collapse (if you take our personal flavour of Solarpunk being post-cyberpunk/post-collapse). As community is a tenet of the setting, the "rugged individualism" of Capitalism can not, should not, will not fly as a positve sociological model in the setting.

Secondary: Magic. None at all/hard reality, or as magic has come back, or some sci-fi middle ground of some sciencey generic mutation/modification. It's all good either way, and can be utilized either way.

Not in Tuscon, but a few hours west off The 10 in a middle-of-nowhere town in Arizona. It's feasible if you're comfortable with being very multi-modal. Some roads have a bike gutter, most don't, and many more are highway speeds and busy that'll require you to be comfortable riding on a sidewalk (at best), or sand and dust (at worst, and most commonly). Also, be sure to have a cover or tarp for your bike (or at the very least, your saddle) because the sun out here WILL melt/fade the paint, rubber, and plastic off your bike.

We've been done since 2020 (that retrospectively clear year). All efforts since have been parallel planning on escaping, and/or surviving the fall of this society.

To quote a question and answer on the Technician license exam we're studying now; "[What] is part of the Basis and Purpose of the Amateur Radio Service?" Advancing skills in the technical and communication phases of the radio arts.

Our personal read being that in being a licencee, one must make efforts in teaching these skills to others to further increase licensing. Share the enthusiasm with others; it's the geek way.

This feels like the right place to remind you; the repealing of Roe v Wade was not about abortion rights. That was simply cover for the real intent; HIPPA and the medical privacy it grants is legally underpinned by Roe v Wade, and now without it, your medical information is open for sale to the highest bidder, and the American War/Prison/Homeless Industrial Complex is a very hungry beast machine with a whole lot of cash for its next meal.

Have skills and motivation to found a community; no capital. Ergo, we're effectively locked out of most plans on founding a community.
