This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I live in the burbs and work across town: Ride my bike to work, to get groceries, go to the movies, whatever.

Seems crazy to me that you apparently have a nice ebike and don't ride it, but that's up to you. Don't shit on other people for trying to encourage others to ride.

I don't have bike lanes or even live in a city, but I still ride: Don't tell me it can't be done.

Not trying to shit on anyone, just sharing my experience.
