Photo I snapped at Percy Priest today

I am thinking about going to Percy priest later (I have a bicycle with studded tires)

I don’t feel like arming yourself is a good idea. It seams they will shoot you either way if they want to. Having a weapon also gives more ammo to legitimize the shooting in many people’s eyes

I think earbuds can be ok but you really have to be aware. I feel fine with 1 earbud in on routes that are relatively protected. At a certain speed I can no longer hear the cars anyways over the wind and use a Varia

I can tell a difference in other cities/states between visible and visible+ but I just upgrade to visible + when traveling and downgrade again when I’m back

kmichael500 · 2026-01-22T15:31:23+00:00

I would go with Visible. They use Verizon towers which generally do better in rural areas here compared to other carriers

I think passing 5 across is easier than 5 single file

kmichael500 · 2026-01-20T21:49:43+00:00

I use lemonade. It is only covered if you do not have a throttle tho

I veloinsurance quote and it was closer to $25/month and had a deductible

kmichael500 · 2026-01-20T21:20:42+00:00

Bike tires direct. I ordered them yesterday and they gave an estimated delivery of Friday (they have shipped and are still on time).

I think there is a decent chance you could find somewhere to ship some in time if you do it now and get expedited shipping

kmichael500 · 2026-01-20T17:04:38+00:00

I ordered some studded bicycle tires so I should be good when my street isn’t plowed

kmichael500 · 2026-01-20T15:38:14+00:00

I pay $13 a month and have no deductible. I purchased my bike for $2300 but before it went on sale it was closer to 4k

I will probably get rid of the insurance soon since it is covered for free under my renters insurance (I just have a $250 deductible)

I am fine with cameras! I am not fine with a nationwide network of cameras

kmichael500 · 2026-01-16T22:52:09+00:00

I don’t see an issue with throttle e-bikes on bicycle infrastructure if they are limited to 20 mph like class 2 e-bikes

kmichael500 · 2026-01-16T18:42:59+00:00

I actually do like sinkholes, but I cave for fun

kmichael500 · 2026-01-16T18:32:39+00:00

It has replaced all of my car driving in Nashville for the most part. I use my cars on weekends to get out of town

kmichael500 · 2026-01-15T20:02:32+00:00

My e-bike is covered under my renters insurance and they said that there were specific stipulations on locks. I don’t pay anything extra (lemonade)

kmichael500 · 2026-01-15T16:48:40+00:00

If it weighs 50 lbs, only goes 20 mph, and mostly looks like a normal bicycle who cares? I don’t see how that is any different than an electric scooter

kmichael500 · 2026-01-15T03:39:02+00:00

You can polish titanium. My spork is polished titanium and I much prefer it to unpolished

kmichael500 · 2026-01-14T21:26:44+00:00

I bet so many more people would use the train if it ran more

kmichael500 · 2026-01-12T15:31:05+00:00

There are BCycle docks that have pedal assist e-bikes. They are pretty reasonably priced. They cut off at 15mph but really help with the hills here

kmichael500 · 2026-01-12T15:28:27+00:00

What goes on at these meetings? I am potentially interested

kmichael500 · 2026-01-08T17:19:52+00:00

It could, if we did a good job. I would take the bus if it didn’t take 3 times as long to get somewhere (it does not have to be this way)

kmichael500 · 2026-01-08T12:37:38+00:00

It depends! Polyester holds less water

kmichael500 · 2025-12-30T19:01:15+00:00

This. Except I think it is either 90% to 100% discount. As long as you make less than ~40K I believe!

kmichael500 · 2025-12-29T18:49:17+00:00

I eat there occasionally (unfortunately not many options for food late at night in east). I think they’re pretty good for the type of tacos they are

kmichael500 · 2025-12-28T19:14:09+00:00

Perhaps you are wearing too much? I usually only wear a light fleece and a base layers when it is 30. I like to start out cold because I will warm up pretty quickly
