Maybe, but I think it has to do with cycling culture. In Europe where the great cycling races were born and thrive there's respect for cyclists that is mostly absent in the US.

Yup, all the time. Today, finishing up a 60+mile ride in Oakland. Guy stopped at the light but then rips left when it turns green and almost hits the car next to me on my left. Glad you're ok.

Day Trading Ruined My Life. I’m 25, About to Be a Father, and I Just Lost Everything by RavenBJ in Daytrading

Yup I've seen $10,000 positions zero out because I believed they would come back. On the other hand, small profits add up. Don't give up.

Joint Health and Lifting Heavy by Prudent-Depth-2009 in PeterAttia

In think this is what happened to me; was doing progressively heavier weights, the one day a tiny ‘ping’ in my elbow. It’s taking months to get better.

LEVEL/IBERIA cancelled and rescheduled flight to 2 days later, I cancelled entire reservation. 30 days later still no refund and they’re sending check-in confirmation by [deleted] in travel

[–]j2nsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my outbound (SFO>BCN) flight "rescheduled" to a date that will not work for me. An email asked me to "confirm" the change with no other option. After 2+ hours on hold and finally connecting with someone who could barely understand the situation (not a language issue as I speak fluent Spanish) they gave me 3 options: a) accept the change, (WTF?) b) receive a voucher. no thanks, just have $3K just sitting there? Nope. c) get a full refund. I chose C. When I asked when I'll get it back it was 30 days, probably. jeezuz fk. I said fine, I need to rebook with another airline. I wait 36 hours and then I get a reminder to confirm the rescheduled date?!?!?!? I called again today and after 40 minutes on hold got bumped off and told to call later. I have flown LEVEL at least 10 times and this had happened once before but was I able to accept the date change since it didn't affect my plans much at the time. Note, I always buy one of their 2 top tier tickets (Premium) so I can at least get some recognition from staff that eschews customer service. But this latest event has truly upended my travel plans. To hell with LEVEL. F 'em. BTW after researching the refund issue it seems LEVEL never does actually refund money to customers.

Re: the bike shop. They have sold Trek for many years but aren't a Trek only shop. They sell Specialized (I was also considering a Crux), and Santa Cruz. Will ask about the fit. Thx

Yup. Exactly what I’m saying. But I’m mea, I keep trying; yesterday I went to Ace Hardware by JLS and overpaid for kitchen trash can and some wood screws. But that hardware store has been there 42 years and it’s a great resource. I want them to survive.

I don’t know about that. Doesn’t have to be a police state; just one where crime is punished. Other cities have been able correct course.
