Your #ebike use-case of the day:
My wife’s stepdad, 88 y/o, is a lifelong cyclist. Racing, touring, etc. Last year, he was riding along, and his heart just stopped. 10 minutes of roadside CPR kept him alive til a cop with an AED arrived.
As part of rehab, he’s ridden on a trainer, but that sucks. With my e-brompton, enabled by the motor which ensures his heart rate doesn’t go above his prescribed max, plus the low stepover, he’s back on the streets.
“Life-changing,” reports my mother-in-law.

I am so sad today, and I just wanted to let my kid loose on Memorial Drive
to kill a couple of hours outside, something we’ve been waiting to do since last fall. DCR sucks, everything sucks.
An upside of not being on Twitter is that there’s no illusion that important people care about me.
So instead of tweeting through the rage , I’ll send some emails that will also be ignored.

‘Take the lane’ just isn’t a strategy that needs to be deployed very often. Cargobikes hauling kids everywhere. Few places you can’t get to directly and safely. More places can do this.
Bikes and stuff. Widow, dad, taking it bird-by-bird.
So many things are improved by 🦪,🚲, & 🪕.
Just me, very much not my employer. Opting in to be searchable via #tootfinder. #fedi22
