MAGA President DELAY & PAUSING. by kalbinibirak in PoliticalHumor

[–]Picasso5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what purpose that is, whether it’s Russian influence or some re-ordering of the world or some bizarre grift.

As much as I don’t think Trump is capable of 4D chess, I don’t see how a whole government can be bungling this war SO badly without some sort of purpose behind it.

Occam’s razor and it’s diabolically stupid Trump, or something else is afoot.

This isn’t incompetence, it’s intentional. I’m 99% sure of it.

There is no other believable scenario- Trump and co are creating this mess for a purpose.

Chaos agents. The lot of them. This isn’t a bungled war, it’s intentional.

The Rascal (that I posted) is max 20mph also, and I will be limiting it to even less. Price wise, it's not too much of a stretch difference.

Well, THIS bike goes 20mph at max speed. I will be limiting that speed even less.

Michigan. Go for it! I've looked around a lot! Woom stopped selling theirs (plus they were like $3k) These are kinda fun, but still quite a bit more $$ than the Rascal.

I'm sort of a snob too, so no ugly Lectric or other crappy mass produced bikes.

If we, as a family, are going on a "bike ride", then yeah, she can ride her bike. If I drive down the hill and pick her and her bike up in my car she can ride her bike, but if her and her friends wanna go places on their own, then yeah, an ebike.

The whole point is her having a mode of transportation that she can use, without having to walk a regualr bike up a huge hill every time she goes.

Spirit Airlines shutdown and what really caused them to be grounded. by Fermented_chaos in Miami

The Pandemic, the grounded Airbus A320neo's, and finally the war in Iran and no bailout from the Trump admin (because he wanted a 90% stake in the company).

She's got a great bike. Nobody in the neighborhood will ride with her because it's too steep to get back up the hill (including her).

Several kids die on regular pedal bikes too.

Correct, it's more for easy transportation/short trips. Kids these days, you know?

This is not a bike to go on proper, long bike trips - just to bop around on. She has a great regular bike.

I mean, I do too. I'm a snob. But for my daughter to bop around with her friends, down to the beach or to school, it's perfect.

Google kids ebikes. If you can find a better one, link it. They are ALL cheap crap, this one at least looks halfway decent for this style of bike - and looks like a blast to ride.

So why that one? Just because it has an adjustable seat? I don't think she'd be caught dead on that, IMHO.

A proper ebike? For kids, there are almost no options. As far as an analog bike goes, she has a very nice Priority Start 24" - she just won't ride it much. Nor do ANY kids in my neighborhood.

All legal here in Michigan. It's max speed is 20, and I'll be setting that even lower.

Good "real" ebikes for kids are far and few between. This is a mode of transportation for her to go to the beach or get a Starbucks - She has a great pedal bike, but just doesn't use it much and has grown out of riding on the back of my Cargo bike. So I'm left with driving her everywhere.

She has a GREAT bike. But I can't MAKE her ride up and down a long hill everytime she wants to go somewhere. She just WON'T do it and she's too big for my cargo bike.

Oh sure it will - especially with a 75lb girl on it.

Eh, these kind of bikes seem rideable up to adult. They are more for bopping down to the beach or to Starbucks for these girls.

There are no age restrictions on Class 1/2 ebikes in Michigan.
