Most the noise you hear from cars on the road is the sound of the tires on the road. How is that on your car? I ones that always manage to sneak up on me is the city busses. Probably be cause they have the low rolling resistance street only tires and lots of body structure in front of them.

I probably is a typo though given the proximity of "," and "." on the keyboard. It is rare for that notation to appear. Normally if the number is going to be abbreviated though it is 61.6k acres.

I'll give him bonus points if 61.6 acres is how much parking lot space required for number of cars needed.

Some how I bet this kid wouldn't agree with you:

So do you have a control group to present to us that didn't buy into the HIV bullshit?

One of the earliest public cases of HIV was a elementary school kid in Indiana that got it through a blood transfusion. That helped push for higher standards in blood donations. It also pushed for higher standards in dealing with spilled bodily fluids. Before all this though the general public thought was only a STD that the gay community passed around.

Remember that real bullshit is pretty green grass before being consumed. Without the widespread focus on preventing these diseases it may have been twice as a bad as predicted. It only looks like bullshit today because of the hidden effort to reduce the damage doesn't get presented to (or ignored by) the public which only remembers the hysteria. Same goes for Y2K bug, global warming, and general pollution

But the law called for a 15 ft distance from the hydrant. Bike lanes are usually not 15 ft across. A car is only 7 ft wide at most in most cases.

That don't work either, you will have some guy park his bike there blocking the hydrant with both the fork lock and wheel locks.

Sounds great, but you forget that the average driver should have been held back in kindergarten for not staying in the lines.

No really, there are other photos in that post that show proper markings for hydrants and a car that has the trunk hanging over the no parking section while the tires are in the legal box.

Watch where other people stop for red lights. Chances are, their own butt is sitting over the line telling them where to stop at with the nose in the crosswalk.

Nope, wrong landfill. However, this would have been useful as a tumbleweed sticky trap they needed 2 months ago.

From his droppings on Twitter, I would put him on the pro Tesla side. But he has a twitter and G+. He is a busy man, but I'm sure you can get a response.

Would't there be a beacon of some sort from the plane or the escape equipment? A controlled landing in the ocean could possibly reduce the amount of debris, but the plane will sink at some point. Either way you are going to have a debris field of some size be it plane parts or people with life vests.

Oddly enough, we have one from when my daughter was born 2 years ago that hasn't lost any at all. Now, this is attached to a stick and hangs out in a vase so it may not have helium in it.

You win the removal of the Clover leaf (if the work is done right). One of the worst concepts to infest the highway system in this country. The only reason they are present is because 1: its cheap and 2: it was designed when 5 cars on the freeway was a high usage day. Many hours a day are spent with people trying to do the weave and then the slow speeds to go around it. Lets not forget the accidents that happen and clog the thing up in all directions.

There, fixed.

"There is no such thing as inappropriate weather, only inappropriate clothing". Really, the weather is not offten the most limiting factor. It is the gear selection.

Skinny tires sink through the snow. Knobbies grip on top of the snow. Studded tires work great on ice, and have knobs for snow. Studded are the most expensive at $50 a tire, but only needed in winter and last for years.

Clothes, wear them please. Yes 20 below is a really cold windchill. It does stop me, but that is because I don't have wind blocking gear. You can find plenty of blogs of bike commuters that do it daily though.

What, you don't take a shower? Once again, there is gear to address that. I'm a lucky person with showers at work, but I don't cycle in my work cloths. Even for short errands, I may drop a clean shirt in my bag for a quick change when I get to where I'm going.

Meh, I'll give you that, but that depends on your conditioning. Heat indexes over 105F can be dangerous but that only happens for at most 1 week a year for myself. So I take the motorcycle, which isn't far from being a electric bike.

Are you sure about this? Sometimes laws are written such that the exception is made in a different section. I check the section that refers to bicycles as well to see if it is there.
