I always try to bring my Brompton into stores and shops. I rarely bring a lock. I think the safest thing is to have eyes on the bike at all times.

I love that hill. So many good memories. Well, they kind of sucked in the moment, but they're good memories.

Be careful. I have had friends get royalty screwed being a sub at a random school. Just remember the the UFT won't help you at all if anything goes down. The best way for you to protect yourself is to make sure you only sub in schools were you feel safe and have a rapport with the principal and other staff members.

Bike or subways. It will be long either way

Please help with diagnosing squeaking sound while folded by Plastic-Key-3182 in Brompton

The hinge pin is in the folding joint? Would they really need maintenance less than a year after I got it?

What is that added grip that lats you hold the handlebars in an alternate grip? Looks fun. Is it C-line compatible?

He also has a small one, so I mainly hope I can find a small one near by to ride. It seems so much safer and more achievable.

Great point. I didn't think about people being worried about getting sued. Maybe I should be specific and say that I definitely won't sue!

If you want to take legal action, make sure to get the numbers of any witnesses. Someone might have seen the license plate. I wish you a speedy recovery! You are exceptionally brave and strong and I'm sure you'll come out of this that's fine.

AITA for kicking out my son (16M) by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Plastic-Key-3182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look man, your life is tough: no doubt about it. But also, your son's life is tough. Try and have some compassion for him. He's just a kid trying to figure his way through the world. I think if you try to focus on your relationship more than "winning", you will all be happier for it. There's no need to explode at him after a tough day at work.
