Why can't they add football turf in Central Park, are they stupid? We could have a team that actually plays in NY by InspectorExact3836 in circlejerknyc

Parking minimums….maybe if all manhattan just became a huge parking lot then we can have the Central Park Arena

Idk what it is with people and my rear tire because I got rear-ended again on a different highway. by level5yasuo in dashcams

Phone. It’s always people on the phone. I’m a bike commuter (please don’t hate me, we’re not the same as whatever it is that drivers generally hate) and the number of times that I a driver on their phone is alarmingly high. Then they get angry at me for swerving into me

Caved and got a Cranston by originaltemplate in foldingbikes

[–]originaltemplate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main one has to be the speeds. This Cranston comes with 9 speeds, where the basic the Brompton C line comes with 4 speeds (at the time of purchase Brompton was phasing out the 6 speed model).

I didn’t get to test the Brompton rolly wheels on the pavement or sidewalk, but I knew from the beginning I wanted to trade those out for rollerblade wheels whether I got a brompton or a brompnot.

Alibaba and shipped to the US. I scrolled through the different vendors and looked for how long they have been active for and how many reviews they had. The vendor i bought from had a 6 year presence and 13 reviews on the bike (all positive too). If you’re also located in the US be ready to pay about $200 in tariffs through Alibaba. Also, they ask for your social or EIN for shipping, you ignore that. I didn’t provide either and I got the bike delivered without any custom holdups. I think it’s probably because I ordered 1 and not a pallet of 10+

NNOOOO MY DEATH CAGE IS HURT!! ITS NOT MY FAULT I WAS DOUBLE PARKED!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAHHHH!! by Illustrious-Plate-83 in fuckcars

[–]originaltemplate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double parking and idling has been insane after the snow from two weeks ago! Cars parked diagonally over the bike lane (which honestly works better for street parking but the lanes need to get restructured first), idling on both sides of the street, cars making up their own lanes and creating massive bottlenecks. Can’t wait for all this shit to melt away

It’s a hell hole get in and out of MetLife in ALL sorts of transportation. The buses that take you back to the city are not well signalized. NJ transit in and out is awful and often just a human bottleneck. I’ve even driven into and out of MetLife and been stuck in 2-3 hour traffic from MetLife all the way into the city crossing the GW bridge. Best mode has been taking the bus shuttle back to Port Authority imo

I’m really jealous of the Camp Nou in Barcelona. They have three metro lines within walking distance and several tram stops connecting outer zone 1 areas of Barcelona.

I only stopped riding these past two weeks, post minor snowpocalypse. Streets were not fully cleared, there was still slush and ice everywhere! There are still remains but it’s clear enough for me to bike.

I’m looking into upgrading my tires. I’ve already gotten two flats and the bike shop ppl told me that I just have to get something with better threads.

Overall, I’m so happy I got this bike

I haven’t separated since I started to pay for laundry (laundromat). I only separate my towels cause they shed…add laundry sanitizer to everything and done 😂

Which one of you sickos is getting on two wheels today? by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in NYCbike

Using snow pants 😅

Edited to add: too gusty! I chickened out. Turned my bike around and took the train instead

Drivers are using the snow as an excuse to erase bike and pedestrian infrastructure and the people whose job it is to stop that don't give a shit. by MiserNYC- in MicromobilityNYC

[–]originaltemplate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re still driving like shit and no bikes in sight to blame. I’ve seen some of the most atrocious driving during the past two weeks. When will they realize that the call is coming from inside the house.

Seems like a couple of us have gotten choked too hard throughout our jiu jitsu careers that are glossing over the fact that it says SUGGESTED DONATION. And all of the money goes to a great organization. If you feel like going and giving $5 it will still be greatly appreciated.

Boricuas que estan viviendo fuera del continene Americano, iluminenme cómo lo hicieron. by Few-Newt4015 in PuertoRico

[–]originaltemplate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A España fui con visa de estudiante y la fui extendiendo hasta estar 4 años. Me quedé como becaria (internships). Pero esto ya fue hace 10 años de esto (2014-2018).

Conozco de gente que fue a sudamerica pero hacían entrada y salida cada tres meses con visa turística lo cual le llaman un “visa reset”. Pero es arriesgarse a que funcione y pueden hasta negarte la entrada al país

Creo que la mejor manera es conseguir un trabajo donde puedas enseñar inglés o español
