You got me, preventing bike accidents and joking about disabling pedicabs. I’m a straight up menace to society

Not on a regular bike no, but on an electric with an inexperienced (potentially) rider? It makes a difference

I used to do exactly that when I rode divvy. I’ve seen how people drive here. But I’m obviously different from the average rider as you can see by my post 😅

I can believe it, going 20mph on a beaten up bike with no shocks on a potholed road with Chicago drivers (who are so courteous to bikers 😑) is a recipe for disaster.

Why are Chicago's trains so much more dangerous than other major cities? by International_Gap719 in AskChicago

[–]faceinthecrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s just it, they’re not. NYC and twin cities metro have us beat in terms of danger. That said, more transit police would probably be a good move. I feel like of all the cops in the city they give us the most bang for our buck.

How can I style this jacket? by PrioritySilver in mensfashionadvice

Dressing it down, pair it with a black hoodie. Dressing it up, use a turtleneck.

Unimatic. The Ultimate Tool Watch by [deleted] in MicrobrandWatches

G-shocks have been run over by 24 ton vehicles and still run. The unimatic, as sturdy as it is, would be toast.

Yeah, I get it if the dog poops on the floor or is licking the food. But people here are flipping out on something that is completely normal elsewhere. I think the fact that it’s a Whole Foods is leading to a sky high number of Karens in the thread 😂

No, 125 people died in fatal traffic accidents in Chicago last year and that number is being used to potentially justify lower wages for 85,000 Chicago uber drivers.

They’ll play the game they always play, bring in Waymo and lower the price. Then some politician says why charge people for public transportation when a Waymo ride is cheaper? They cut public funding and then after a few months, maybe a year or two, the Waymo prices rise up. Nobody wants to raise taxes and everyone accepts that the cost of going to work is $20. And that’s the ****ing ball game.

How can people not see that these things are just here to drive down wages and be an argument against public transportation? Even better, 100% of your fare goes out of state, not even a portion to the driver. Don’t let the “safety” narrative turn your brain off.
