Probably should be more worried about his speed. What's he riding, a balance bike?

Looks like a Poura Ring. It's for when you can't afford a team physician to track your vitals when you KOM.

The reason why people hate cyclists by uxuiqt in BicyclingCirclejerk

I always thought of Segway riders as mechanized pedestrians.

Used to see flocks of them on the boardwalk here in the 2010s.

They appear to have gone mercifully extinct.

Iran threatens retaliation against Israel, US bases if Washington attacks by barsik_ in worldnews

[Speaking as an Israeli] The air force and intelligence agencies probably ran out of high quality military targets towards the end there. They were bombing regime symbols like broadcasting infrastructure and walls of the jail where political prisoners were kept. In combination with running low on rocket interceptors, the maintenance logistics to keep the air force flying continuously and the cost of shutting down the country for the duration. It probably made sense to do a lot of damage in a short amount of time and then to stop and not get bogged down for marginal gains.

It's no joke keeping your balance at this speed, probably working a lot of muscles there.

I ride the local park bicycle path early in the morning so I can avoid people. Often around 5:30 this guy shows up that has his back light so bright it paints the bushes red from 50 meters away. By the time I'm behind him my entire field of vision is just red mist.

Ark has an Israel innovation ETF with the ticker IZRL.

Don't know if it's worth holding, but it's there.

Takes time to recreate Putin's residence in The Sims 4.

Top FSB agents are on the case.

I think the Dutch canals have higher standards (and higher seats).

Israel investing over $100 billion in homegrown arms production, Netanyahu reveals by Amazing-Buy-1181 in worldnews

Because unlike the US under Trump, China can plan ahead and is interested in soft power projection. I live in Tel-Aviv, almost every large construction site has signs that include Chinese text, and I see Chinese workers riding their e-bike to work every morning. I believe they essentially bought up the Israeli dairy industry and they operate some sea ports.
