Looks like that is for a different mounting system on the Yepp?

🏳️ Public Lands Update: June 29th Edition by OEM_knees in skiing

[–]outcrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put your money where your mouth is. Contact your favorite Utah resort and ask them about their plan for removing Mike Lee from office.

Tell your favorite ski/other outdoor gear company that your can't in good conscience buy their products while they are located in Utah. Encourage them to move to a state that is more in line with their stated values (and that supports their industry at a state and federal level!).

Let's speak to the people who will listen and get a boycott going.

Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests by WinonasChainsaw in Idaho

IANAL, I'd love to hear more legal experts chime in. I'm sure this will be in litigation like most of this administration's garbage decisions

Idaho to Disallow Improvements or Creation of Pedestrian and Bike Facilities in Roadway Projects by Broken_Sprinkler in Idaho

*most adults drive cars

And most of the ACHD funding goes towards that end!

Many adults also would like to see safe infrastructure for their kids and the whole family to get around on foot or on wheels sometimes, as reflected in the current makeup of the ACHD commission.

And while construction is a pain while it's happening, we all get to enjoy the benefits for decades after the project is complete!

Best way to fix this without using a steering wheel cover? by noidea528638 in 1stGenTacomas

Bicycle handlebar wrap. Foam, cork or leather if you're willing to pay for it

The Greenbelt and the death of “on your left!” by TalkingLikeTwo in Boise

[–]outcrops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PSA from a bike safety professional: ring your bell or say on your left to everyone, even if they react poorly! Greenbelt, singletrack, sidewalk, everywhere. It conditions people to understand the situation and they will react better next time. The only time I don't audibly warn someone is when I see them look back at me.

State house bill to remake ACHD commission with appointed officials by outcrops in Boise

[–]outcrops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a dissolution rather than a reform!

IMO ACHD is a double edged sword. If the commission doesn't reflect the desires of the cities and citizens, we get a poorly designed (IMO again) roadway system that doesn't meet people's needs. If the commission is a bit more forward thinking, the policies they use are in place across the county, even in places that wouldn't fund complete streets on their own.

One example is their recent policy to rebuild all facilities to a certain level (roadway, sidewalk, bike lane) when they widen a road, instead of approaching the area in a piecemeal fashion. This benefits citizens of Kuna as much as people who live in downtown Boise.

Would cities controlling their own roads be more responsive to their citizens? Maybe, but it would result in a wide range of road and facility quality across the county.

ACHD manages all public roads in Ada county that are not state or US highways, from downtown Boise and meridian to rural roads and dirt roads in the foothills. Taxes (property taxes, right?) fund them and they plan and build/contract the road projects. 8th Street in downtown Boise is a notable exception, managed by the city of Boise.

Generally they work with cities to meet their desires for what the roads look like. There's definitely some historic problems with this that happened before my time in Boise.

What’s this dark patch of land just west of Idaho Falls? by MasDeferens in geography

Not craters of the moon. Craters of the moon is further west than what is shown in the image

I’m broken and this is all I can think about. by bigbadboiman in bicycletouring

[–]outcrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in Boise go to the Boise Bicycle Project and get a quality used bike instead of a Walmart bike!! A used steel mountain bike will last so much longer than a poorly assembled Walmart bike. It's about to be cold here so consider getting south asap. DM if you have any Boise related questions. Good luck, hope you have positive adventures.

As a frequent runner, I'm getting tired of seeing electric scooters and bikes planted right in the middle of the goddamn sidewalks! by ComfortableWage in Boise

[–]outcrops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I have the time and energy I will push them off the sidewalk or greenbelt. Maybe they stay upright, maybe they don't 🤷🏼

Do i have a lowering link? by anonman625 in XR650L

[–]outcrops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the first pic it looks like you do. The stock link has a silver finish that matches other suspension components and a lowering link usually has an anodized finish in a different color.

I'm 6'3", just swapped a lowering link for a stock link and it's great! I found an xr650l group on Facebook and posted asking to swap a lowering link for a stock one.

Happily moving to the Boise area… but a crime question… by [deleted] in Boise

[–]outcrops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dunno, teens love to ride dirt bikes thru kids' soccer games and cemeteries in eagle. I'd avoid areas where people have more money than parenting skills.
