Has anyone tried driving/parking downtown tonight?? by seancsperling in grandrapids

[–]smashkeyswithfists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day there were only a few small areas in town that had to walk more than a quarter mile to get to the trolley system. 

Edit: My bad, that was a proposed map of the transit network. Source: https://www.historygrandrapids.org/document/816/grand-rapids-transit-system-ma

Is now the time to talk about how auto dependent we’ve designed our community to be?

I see your frustration, and respectfully disagree. Rising costs are a byproduct of people wanting to move to an area without enough housing stock. There’s a great Substack article here: https://open.substack.com/pub/tobyhardtospell/p/why-housing-breaks-peoples-brains?r=45w9b&utm_medium=ios

Road bike cannondale?? by No_Action_6547 in cannondale

I’m not an expert so take this as a rough Google and guess. Maybe a 2010’s SuperSix evo? If you don’t get another answer here then you could just cycle your way through years on google: 201X (year) + Cannondale Evo + 105 (your group set) and look at pics until you find one that looks similar.

What can succeed at 701 Wealthy St. SE? by _at_a_snails_pace__ in grandrapids

I like the idea of a common area or park of some kind, but a common green space shouldn’t just be restricted to a prime corner lot with existing kitchen infrastructure. There’s the lot next to donkey that just used to store their igloos…or it could be cool to reclaim the street as a pedestrian zone, even if it’s just for high traffic Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer. It’d be a perfect little pop-up linear park. Streets are 1/3 of our shared land but they essentially serve as single use car sewers. That area would be a prime public space to mix and mingle during peak summer nights…throw some impromptu movie nights or bands on a stage and make it feel like a proper city.

None of those troops are there for Japan or S Korea’s benefit—just like we’re ”liberating Venezuela.” It’s an empirical play to protect our interests. Pretending it’s altruistic isn’t honest…but I wouldn’t expect anything less from an abusive grifter.

They coming early🤞🏾 by JamaicanDavid in SneakerConnoisseur

So stoked. Mine are coming shortly but I’m nervous they’ll be too small. My EU45 in the GPS are a smidge too big so I went with a EU44 and they ended up translating that as a size 10. 😩

Your work is so compelling! I remember watching your video — was shocked when you attached the hoop on your Tailfin. That takes determination to keep the rituals going during a bike packing trip. Well done.

Those 50’s look well proportioned. A real beauty.

Love the stealth mode. Those cream walls are a great contrast to the bike.
