While I've never been ticketed, I always ride on the side of the left lane (against traffic).
So you're one of those jerks I have to move my bike into traffic to go around as you head towards me in my lane because you don't have the survival instincts of all other mammals? Or is it that you're a sociopath?
The data doesn't lie.
That paper is not about facts but statistics (as in "lies, damned lies, and statistics"). Not the same thing.
Because there aren't shelters filled with abused men and their children they took with them when they escaped the abusive relationship (that I'm aware of). I'm sure that won't stop your miserable whining, though.
I've ordered several items from aliexpress and haven't had a problem. If I did have a problem, I would have withheld payment, since payment doesn't actually get done until the buyer receives and is satisfied with the product (though you provide your CC# when you order). I'm sure they know the bad reputation buying from China has so they're doing this to overcome that. I made a small purchase first, then bought several more of the same type of items (cycling kit) from the same seller after that purchase went well. You do have to take a "buyer beware" attitude but my experience has been good.
I would also like to point out that not all of my eBay experiences, especially in the early days and certainly not from Eastern European countries, were wonderful. Ah, the adventure of globalization at the personal level!
Ah, I stand corrected. Thanks for the link.
Still, planning to build a nuclear plant in a state with a "moratorium" on new nuclear plants (since 1976) is a pretty dicey business plan.
The correct interpretation is 'Thou shalt not murder'.
Interpretation? Interpretation? Interpretation of what? You mean god left something like killing open to interpretation? What, did he say "Thou shalt not bump off thy neighbor."? Not very smart of god to leave something so important like that up for debate.
What is with the clothes the bikers wear?
Do some 40-mile rides. You'll figure it out. New riders don't understand it at first, of course, and swear they won't become one of those spandex cyclists. Once they start doing longer rides, the light comes on and they figure out why those cotton cargo shorts won't cut it anymore. Happens all the time.
P.S. Cycling clothing doesn't cost $700. It can but, for almost everybody who doesn't buy Rapha, that's not what it costs by a long shot.
And after you've bought the equipment, it's free.
You're kidding, right? Chains cost. Cables cost. Cassettes do wear out. Bar tape, lube, tubes, tires, and CO2. Even clothes, sunglasses, and helmets wear out. I love seeing how little I can spend on cycling (I make my own drinks and snacks) but "free"? Nah.
