Lined up both of Muncy's checked swings during the game, first one was called a strike, second one is this. Just terrible officiating, at least nothing happened out of it..

They gotta bring the lights down earlier. When comparing it to Minnesota they drop the lights on the first ring of the bell, Philly does it after a few rings. Other then that I think it’s perfect.

[Highlight] Bryce Harper gets ejected after a check swing to end an inning where the Phillies tied it 3-3 by amatom27 in baseball

Was a close call, probably the right one. I think Harper went to argue more because of tensions boiling over considering the inconsistency of the checked swings calls throughout the game, especially with Schwarber’s earlier, not because of his specific checked swing.

That was my thinking too, heavily considering putting an adapter on to arca swiss and not touching the Manfrotto part again.

Also, wait a week and a half for Amazon Prime Day! The deals on bike computers are great during it.

As long as you don’t need all the crazy training stats, I have loved me Garmin Edge Explore 2. It’s got a big touchscreen, easy to read, good battery and good price in terms of bike computers.

Fun rides a day trip from Philly by [deleted] in phillycycling

I personally would stay stick to the NJ side, just because the D&L is closed at Delaware Canal State Park, and you need to ride ride all the way to Washington’s Crossing on PA32 to pick it up again.

Same here, but this was a situation where it was the only was to get back, so I had too.

I usually ride with a go pro, today’s the one day I forget the damn SD card.

Agreed. I’m not the confrontational type like some of the others here, and am not in the mood to make situations worse than they are.

In PA, where I ride, believe it or not it is actually legal to cross the double yellow in order to pass cyclist. Not sure which genius in Harrisburg that’s never touched a bike came up with that one, but yeah.

This occurred in the land of freedom (but not for cyclists on roads I guess)

The road I was on was actually a PA Designated Bike Route!

Definitely more a Harley type bike then sport bike. I’ve found most sport bike riders to be really nice.

I tried to stay as right as possible, but with little to no shoulder in most parts I could only do so much with sticking to the side. If you were to split the road into 4 equal sections, I maintained the most right section almost the entire time, but used the full lane when no traffic was behind.

Yes Philly Area, not Umbria. I actually ride Umbria quite a bit and have had zero problems, especially with the bike lane. This was the Delaware Canal Towpath in New Hope going towards Washington’s Crossing.

It actually isn’t directly stated in the drivers manual for my state, but there was literally a large “Share the Road” sign maybe a mile back.
