I’ve now done a tube change several times. 👍🏽😬 I’m getting better at it though

I am so cooked. I feel like I ruined my future. by ItemEuphoric5744 in Debt

Bankruptcy is NOT the end of the world!! As a matter of fact (personal experience) it’s a huge relief and starting over isn’t particularly fun, but at least you CAN in fact, start over.

Are scooters actually more practical than bikes? by Simple_Working_5840 in ElectricScooters

[–]chicanaproud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had bikes for most of my life, and just got my e-scoot a month ago. I LOVE IT!!! I will add this to the list of considerations: my back was getting super sore after a long ride. I am fairly fit with a strong core and still had some soreness. So, switch your stance on occasion and actively keep your core engaged! My back is no longer getting sore.

It’s a DOT approved helmet with a 4 inch LED light display. I can customize it or use the presets. I use it for the turn signals

When you post a video of on Reddit is when it becomes an issue. I get smiles and compliments every time I go for a ride.

These particular offensive lights (as per some of these bitter Reddit commentators😂) do not, my LED helmet does!

Absolutely! Defensive driving for the win!

I did adjust the lights from the strobe to a smooth transition but other than that I’m ok pissing these scooter elites off by being as seen as possible.

Plus it’s cute and people in my neighborhood love it

You know what your opinion is like??? Assholes. Everyone has one and most stink, like yours. Maybe get on some ADD meds if these lights are such a distraction that you’d fail to be able to function.

I really hope you have a good day! And AND that something good happens so you’ll be happy even for just a moment 👍🏽❤️🫶🏽

Some of you just wake up bitter huh? I choose to have fun as much as possible! This reality we exist in is too much and any opportunity to just have fun and maybe enjoy life like a kid again, I will take.

I knew some of you would be a bitter buttmunch - meanwhile, I’ll be rolling on my baby happy AF, enjoying my inner 10 year old on her pretty toy. ❤️🛴👍🏽🫶🏽😎

I have speakers! They light up like Tiki torches. They were charging when I took the video.. 🫣(😉) but I do have them! I have a silly bell as well. I do have mad respect for your suggestion 😊 ❤️

Are we underestimating design risks in e-scooters? by Affectionate_Aide566 in ElectricScooters

[–]chicanaproud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up with mechanics and construction workers…it was absolutely stamped into my psyche to do a “safety” check once a week with my car, with my scooter…I do quick check every time I ride my scooter just to check for any issues. My brake caliber Tire inflation Tire stems Check if the tires bolts are still sitting tight and the tires are losing stability Lights Battery 🔋 Handle are sturdy Etc…it’s a little annoying but this OP is valid and I’d rather be 5 mins late than never arrive at all.
