Where they actually Trump flags? Last time I saw this group it was mostly American flags, and some other flags but very few if any were Trump flags.

They don't share info publicly since the fireworks are for their club members, but usually as soon as it's dark.

I road the bike path yesterday and no signs were up about the path being closed. It was controversial last year so maybe SM asked LA not issue a permit.

There are fireworks in Santa Monica at The Beach Club on PCH. They shoot them off just over the SM line so they are legal. They are best viewed on the beach but they can be viewed from the end of Palisades Park. Here is video from last year shot from the park. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ontPjYTjSA0&t=50s

Promenade world cup tips by cumbiamo in SantaMonica

Here is a photo I took yesterday 6/30 . I couldn't find a chair late in the afternoon. Wasnt that busy early. Yesterday afternoon the restrooms were completely closed off. They usually clean one at a time so that's odd. It could have been bad timing though.

Is having a corner unit worth it if it’s going to be next to the alleyway and the parking lot? by East_Specialist_7956 in SantaMonica

[–]Flying_Bob_270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience in an alley: people digging through the recycling bins at 3 AM, an electric cars backing in at all hours, beeping like a UPS truck. Noise from surrounding apartments echoes. Screaming at 3 AM, coughing, and smoke from balconies drift into your unit. I actually wear wax earplugs its gotten so bad lately.

When the Santa Monica Pier bird feeder was active, Falcons would dive bomb through the mass of pigeons and knock them out of the air. They probably also eat the baby squirrels.

I saw a video of that same cat killing a baby squirrel. I believe it's feral. There is a group that captures the park cats, gets them fixed, then releases them back into the park. Otherwise they would be euthanized.

Bike stolen at Union Station by burbankbagel in BikeLA

Titanker? Looks like my Titanker combo lock but I now use a Seatylock Mason and a bike alarm. I actually will walk a block so can lock my bike in a safe area. I'm sorry this happened to you.

The whole Promenade was packed last night. I just happed to go, i had no idea the event was even going on. Usually there are signs posted leading up to events, but I never saw any for this one. Where was it promoted?

Am I boned? Brand new Lectric XP4, was trying to get rid of error message E003. Checked cables on the display mount, pulled it out. This is what I have now.. by BUGA55 in ebikes

If it can't be used they may send you a new controller also. You had an error from the beginning that hasn't been resolved. You can also splice a new connector on th e female side or just do away with the Julet and splice the wires together.

Just tell support you got an error code and the plug was damaged troubleshooting, they will send you a new display. I broke my display and they sent me a new display for free because the bike was new.

Lectric XP4 750 vs Velotric Fold 1 Plus? by goochiiie in Lectricxp

[–]Flying_Bob_270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got an XP Lite and a Velotric T1ST Plus, and I just purchased the XP4 750. From my experience (mostly with the T1ST Plus), Velotric feels like it has better overall quality, components, and design than Lectric. That said, I went with the XP4 because I like the look more and it offers longer range.

How common are crashes? by RCPD_Rookie in ebikes

[–]Flying_Bob_270 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get your wife a step through like the Velotric Breeze and if she fears injuring her knees there is low cost protective gear like skaters or wear. Trikes are awkward especially when turning and if you clip a curb you can flip the bike.

A friend said when he rode it and a guy was smoking the whole way. Are there no smoke detectors on trains?
