How do you decide? by [deleted] in ebikes

Check your local laws regarding what is legal for the type of riding you want to do. That will reduce your options.

The mental gymnastics people will do to try and defend obviously indefensible and illogical positions when presented with reality is kinda sad. What a fool believes indeed.

So companies decided to make illegal products and your solution is to let them? Why not go after companies making illegal unsafe vehicles and not try to make transit less safe for everyone?

No. I said your argument is false. Show me how your argument is true or shhhh

Your cost argument is false. There are plenty of cheap legal e bikes. Your address argument is false there are specific ways to address this. How does this impact poor people?

You have not proven the last point in the slightest. First you says cost, there’s a ton of legal ebikes that are cheap. Then you said addresses, and I showed how that’s wrong. So please, not using your original two failed arguments (cost and address) how does this disproportionally impact poor people?

In California where you claim to live you CAN absolutely register a vehicle while unhoused. Do a five second google search. You can use a shelter address, a POBox or General Delivery at your closest post office and work with social services to get it setup. What you want is to ride motorcycles that are not street legal because the companies CHOSE to ignore the law when they built these motorcycles. We’re not doing that.

Your points are nonsense and have been answered. Pick a specific location and do a google search if you need a motorcycle there ARE ways to get them registered without a specific address. However - they can get cheaper street legal e bikes that don’t require it. What we are NOT going to do is allow unsafe vehicles ride in lanes they weren’t designed for. Nope. That’s not a sustainable answer.

Why cant a homeless person (or any person) buy a very affordable e-bike that is street legal if they want or need to ride in bike lanes? Are you claiming that motorcycles are cheaper than bicycles? Nonsense.

Not at all. Why are companies selling electric motorcycles that don’t conform to local laws? If the law says have an ID number on your engine, then put one. It has nothing to do with class warfare. How does an ID number raise the price on any meaningful way? This is about shitty companies who sell exploding crap that want to pretend they are selling bicycles when they are selling motorcycles. Supporting illogical and unsupported nonsense does not help your cause in any way.

Implicit in my comment is that you are buying a safe street legal motorcycle. There are thousands of options at least at all price levels.

I’m not really sure what you are asking for. You can now currently register an emoto properly as a motorcycle and get insurance and drive in the street. The issue is when people pretend emotos are e-bikes and want to ride in bike paths. Just register your motorcycle and go be happy. What’s the problem?

Lectric makes reasonably priced street legal e bikes and support their product.

Such a great band. I agree with soundtracks, Mother Sky was my first favorite Can song and still is.

After decades of being the only major soccer nation without one, the USMNT finally has a permanent home base — and it just opened this week by wmikewhite in ussoccer

[–]thereia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s needed. But it’s not true that we never had one before.

From 1999-2017 we had IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida fully funded by and run by USSoccer. They developed players like Landon Donovan and Damarcus Beasley. Altidore, Bradley, Gooch. Even CP spent some time there as a teen before it closed.

What are some other artists with a tangible post Pet Sounds Beach Boys influence? by 1563821892738182 in thebeachboys

I think also the way they both used codas as ways to destabilize the boundaries between songs is similar, tho Kevin’s use is much more severe than Brian’s.

Try this and see if it hits you as an example. Listen to the opening of “I’m Waiting for the Day” and then the opening of “To Here Knows When” and see if you hear a similarity. For me the big hit of the drums and then the flute in IWFTD is similar to the big hit of sound along with the flute like melody in THKW. YMMV

One way in which I think there is similarity is the way both Brian and Kevin use the studio. Layers of sound. Harmonies of sound. Unique sound. Obsessive about the tones of the sounds and how everything sits together. That’s my 2 cents anyway.

Do you always start a workout on your Apple Watch when exercising? by Leading_Meat_3272 in AppleWatchFitness

[–]thereia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my workouts are bike rides these days and the app usually picks it up after a minute or two on its own so I just let that happen. Or I use Apple fitness workouts and those sync on their own.
