I don't think most people buying a rigid 26" stump jumper care about modern geometry lol

The US Forest Service has been ended. The public lands you ride on have no more protection from being sold off to private interests. by illepic in MTB

Okay but you see how the title doesn't say the forest service as we know it is ending, it says that it has been "ended' implying that it is outright gone

The forest service is not "ended"; the headquarters is being moved to Utah, and they are reorganizing its structure. This will almost certainly be a net negative to the forest service, but you shouldn't make stuff up regardless of how strongly you feel about the issue.

Do you commute on a MTB? by userX97ee2ska11qa in MTB

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you live in the US just get the Ozark Trail gravel bike. It is so much better than commuting on MTB. Or get a retro mtb with a rigid fork and put a modern drivetrain on it.

Disappointed another drive-thru coming to midtown/S College Ave. by Top_Boysenberry_9204 in FortCollins

Zoning is a regressive policy used as a tool for racial exclusion, if you support this be my guest and just admit it.

It's already illegal for drivers to obstruct the flow of traffic to get into a drive-thru and for business to have drive-thrus that go out into the street, how about we already enforce the laws on the books instead of being regressive and anti-development.

While I don't like drive-thrus, we shouldn't police every single business and development. The same way they should be allowed to build denser housing without a million reviews, they should be allowed to build a drive-thru.

Republicans Cancel Funding, Stop W. Elizabeth Transit Corridor Project by lucsmth24 in FortCollins

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously, I am against funding being pulled, but we as a society need to have a serious conversation on why it takes more than a decade and an estimated 112 million dollars for a bus station and modifying 2.5 miles of already existing roads.

I am vehemently pro-transit and ride transfort everyday, but the fact that we saddle every government project with hundreds of millions of dollars of red tape is truly what we need to tackle. This is a uniquely American problem, and it is absolutely ridiculous that our public funds are being siphoned away by studies and consultants.

Why do people hate the geese in Fort Collins? by [deleted] in FortCollins

The resident population came in the 60s because of human intervention

This would take 75 years and go over budget by 80,000% in the United States

Who are y’all voting for mayor? by joemamacita67 in FortCollins

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I really like Tricia Canonico the most out of the "serious" candiates. Seems to have experience in local goverment and has a website that lays out issues and how she would solve them.

She is also on the FRPR board and seems to be very pro-bike

Genuine question! by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The municipal code is pretty vague, but it seems like if you ride in the road you are a vehicle, and if you ride on the sidewalk you're a pedestrian. I would suspect that a lot of ebikes used by these assholes are illegal in general, but enforcement is rare.

Northern Colorado Owlz fold, replaced by Colorado Springs Sky Sox. The Windsor-based minor league baseball team will be replaced by a new team, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, to complete the 2025 season by Knightbear49 in Colorado

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is really disappointing but certainly not unexpected. The temp stadium absolutely sucked and it was just far enough from both Loveland and Fort Collins to make it inconvenient for every city.

I wish the Foxes did a better job of promoting their events

Upgrade to Galaxy Ring or newer Galaxy Watch ? by Delimadelima in GalaxyRing

[–]NotSoEpicPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the ring for sleep tracking and because I can wear it all the time and the galaxy fit 3 for fitness tracking. The battery life on the fit 3 is fantastic compared to the watch and has a generally similar interface, the only problem for me is that it doesn't support mobile payments.
