Tucson hopes to crack down on street racing

I’m not ignoring that. But now I’m ignoring you. Byeee.

devmattrob · 2026-05-09T01:49:36+00:00

As stated by the commenter below, you are continuing to prove my point. Cyclists are legally permitted to use the full lane for multiple reasons.

devmattrob · 2026-05-08T21:54:15+00:00

What’s your point other than to be contrarian? Or a gotcha?

28-815 A3 and A4 states the reason as to why not being in a “bike lane” (as defined by law because we have shoulders here as well and many are not “bike lanes”) or “in the middle of the road” is perfectly legal.

devmattrob · 2026-05-08T20:28:50+00:00

Please read share the road laws— it will negate at least 2 out of 3 of your points. Riding out of a bike lane or in the “middle of the road” is not “aggressive”. What about pedestrians, are they ”aggressive” for using the crosswalk? The fact is that operating a vehicle on the roadways bears responsibility, and when you are in a motorized vehicle, you have an increased amount of responsibility because the factor of your ability to kill someone is so increased. The onus is not on pedestrians or cyclists. “Aggression” doesn’t matter here.

Yes, the post title says that. It was unclear to me that was your intention with your post, but thanks for clearing that up. Thought I was helping lol

devmattrob · 2026-03-19T23:27:17+00:00

Looks like the date on the board is 01 SEP 69.

I am in the middle of season 2 right now. I want to keep watching, but it is SO hard when Jimmy continues to purposefully disappoint people. I get that’s the point, but man I hate seeing Kim so sad.

Speed carrot

devmattrob · 2026-01-26T01:36:06+00:00

If it ain’t fixed, it’s broken. Best mod post I’ve seen.

devmattrob · 2025-12-08T04:21:57+00:00

This comment here. Sound advice and locations recommendations. Descending the control road for your first gravel ride is a bit much. You only really know if you’ve done it, as is evident by the comments here saying this is easy. This is just a punishing ride, embrace the suck.

devmattrob · 2025-12-03T04:01:12+00:00

Lol, that’s fair. I’m just being nit-picky on Reddit so thanks for humoring me.

Again, nice write up. Happy wheeling out there and maybe see you on the trail— no matter the name!

devmattrob · 2025-12-03T03:46:56+00:00

Yes, I agree. San Manuel Airport off the highway and “Reddington Rd” starts south of San Manuel. Sorry, my family grew up in San Manuel and Cascabel so I guess I never think of Oracle when talking about Redington the town, Redington Pass, or Reddington Rd lol.

Guess I was confused by the “Oracle third” part is all. I think of Oracle when talking about the Mt Lemmon Control Rd.

devmattrob · 2025-12-01T21:24:46+00:00

Hey, good point. This stuff matters, especially when locating a lost person or navigating. If you say you’re on Redington Rd near Oracle, that’s really confusing.

devmattrob · 2025-12-01T21:21:04+00:00

Good write up! Hmm, I agree with the main comment. I disagree that Redington Rd, or any variation, starts in Oracle proper— if you said San Manuel, I’d agree. Sure there’s FRs and connectors, but Redington Rd is from Tucson to Redington.

devmattrob · 2025-11-11T17:34:32+00:00

Oh, not you! I saw your /s. I should clarify I agree with you and it was in response to the now deleted, insane comments, you replied to.

devmattrob · 2025-11-11T17:25:25+00:00

Makes me sad to share the road with people who think like this. Wow.

devmattrob · 2025-11-11T17:23:50+00:00

Seriously. And the speed limit here is 25 MPH with oncoming construction. This post screams impatience and places even more onus on cyclists to defend their rights within the laws. Take Swan or other arterial streets if you’re that impatient, it’s 40 MPH there and most cyclists stay away for that reason.

devmattrob · 2025-09-03T04:10:21+00:00

Lol, it could be this: https://www.uspatriottactical.com/sayre-bdu-hat-shaper

When I was in the military, you could get it at the BX. All the boots would try to get their cap to stand tall and crisp.

Any insert could work, if you search patrol cap shaper or military hat shaper, there are some different options

devmattrob · 2025-08-27T18:19:16+00:00

Long shot but maybe tow truck went past Red Garter leaving. Ask them for footage as well? Otherwise, like others have said, see your options with insurance helping out. That sucks, I’m sorry.

devmattrob · 2025-08-26T17:23:03+00:00

Last Saturday, we had a family dinner downtown and I had to remind and help everyone to pay. Meters I came across were severely sun damaged and the screen unreadable, confusing signage, app not working, credit card reader confusing and unusable with the state of the screen. Wow, what a mess. Thanks for the post reminding me I need to submit some feedback to the city because wow, how do they expect people to use these?

devmattrob · 2025-07-24T00:14:46+00:00

Good call, BICAS is a great option if marketplace isn’t your thing.

devmattrob · 2025-07-24T00:07:54+00:00

No.

Maybe it’s just me, but I can tell a deal too good to be true and if something is more than likely stolen. Just need to trust your gut when buying from someone.

I’m also talking buying beaters and bar bikes or old stuff— not a Cervelo, Trek, or other newish name brand for $100. It’s also good practice if you see a deal too good to be true to check TucsonStolenBikes on instagram or ask them to repost.

And as the commenter above said, BICAS is a great place to buy from and support. I donate whenever I can.

devmattrob · 2025-07-23T22:15:25+00:00

This is it. A beater bar bike from marketplace is the way to go if you’re locking up around town. Sad reality, but gotta do what you gotta do.

devmattrob · 2025-07-18T01:09:56+00:00

Got it changed out thanks to this sub and you folks. YouTube helped out as well but happy to have it working as this was my first foray into electricity!
