In praise of bike helmetsI only ride bike paths. From my garage it is short block in a townhome complex to the path or the sidewalk by the door to the bike path. From Bob's garage it is a short bit in a development to an intersection with stop signs to a bike lane for a short block to Tucson's Loop. The Loop circle a large portion of Tucson and has a spur that goes through a suburb. Rides of 138 miles can be done. It may be the best path in the US. People travel to Tucson in the winter to ride.

In praise of bike helmetsI am selling my bikes. Keeping the trikes. Sometimes on the Tucson bike path ebikes zip by weaving through bike traffic. On the bridges people try to take the middle and handlebars could clash.
If I get hit while on the trike, the cyclist should go over the trike or at least it should not tip the trike over. -
Laughter is the best medicine@DougG Yes, among other things.

In praise of bike helmetsI champion bike helmets. A dachshund mix leading a bunch of other dogs slammed into my front wheel years ago. My helmet was destroyed, but it had done its job.
That or my mother was right. I have a hard head. -

The Color RecessionI like the yellow.
My house in Missouri is stained Salt Blue. It is a sort of coastal fishing town blue.
When it was built I heard people were driving into the country to see the blue house. It is outside a town of 3500 in Missouri. I know they will do almost anything for entertainment. -
Help! Why does this make me think of the Beatles??(d) All of the above.

Regenerative brakingFrom AI -Google
"Regenerative braking reverses the electric motor to slow the car and recharge the battery. This process replaces standard friction, meaning physical brake pads are used much less often. As a result, brake pads on electric and hybrid vehicles can last anywhere from 70,000 to over 100,000 miles."Now I understand.

Use AI to hide AI@Axtremus A member of Coldplay has noted that when they put a large upright piano on the stage the audience goes wild. Digitals are too precise.
