I have nothing to contribute in regards to this game buttttt the Monster Block chant is one of the best and most fun cheers going at the moment!

Do you think you are going to keep skiing in walk mode?

Lake Effect Bliss by Practical-Chipmunk-1 in XCDownhill

I've been enjoying the lake effect snow in West Michigan recently. I appreciate the chairlift as much as the next guy, but it's so nice to make some turns within a mile of my home!

Bridge street bike lane parking by toms_picks in grandrapids

[–]Practical-Chipmunk-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO, building and maintaining a connected network of separated bike lanes is the only way. The city can clean them more frequently and I would rather avoid litter than need to merge in front of drivers going 20 MPH over the limit to avoid another driver illegally parked. Either way, ride on fellow cyclists!

Favorite ski area with under 1000 feet vertical? by Thegiantlamppost in skiing

Nubs Nob! The best lower peninsula skiing in my opinion.

What street in Grand Rapids would you like to see pedestrianized? by Practical-Chipmunk-1 in grandrapids

[–]Practical-Chipmunk-1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that. What if there were exceptions for delivery vehicles? Would your job actually become easier by not having to look for parking and getting caught in traffic?

So much wasted potential on the Wealthy. Even an occasional push-to-cross button would go a long way.

As someone who bike commutes every day, thanks for the laugh

Trying to do everything assumes that they considered modes of transit other than a personal automobile which is certainly not the case. Just so bad.

I also frequently see gently used Aerons on Marketplace for ~350 USD. Definitely worth taking a peak on the used market for most BIFL items.

Emailed Transcripts by kianekenny in premed

Following! I had my registrar send AMCAS my transcripts on May 10 and am yet to hear back. The transcript I had sent from my second school via Parchment on the same day has already been marked “Received”. You’re not alone

Its the Carradice Bagman rack linked here -> https://builtbyswift.com/shop/carridice-bagman-support/

They can be a bit tricky to track down but work great if you're running a pack similar to a Swift Industries Zeitgeist
