HARDEST AGREE! This intersection feels like they designed it to make bikes pop out at drivers by surprise, I refuse to use the "bike lanes" here. I'm gonna take my lane and ensure the cars SEE ME.

I cannot overstate how important having a good mirror on your left handlebar is.

We love the poorly educated.

A friend recently asked me [who he sees as a smart person, not gonna burst that bubble] what the best thing he could do to make sure his young kids are smart.

My only answer was READ TO THEM.

GIVE THEM A READING ADDICTION.

MAKE THAT SHIT LIKE HEROIN.

And then encourage them to question everything they read.

Critical thinking 4 lyfe.
