That "Bike Lanes" thread is a winner, isn't it?

Pretty wild stuff. The Trek situation was rough as some people wer seriously injured. Glad to see a good chunk of the rest of the industry decided to proactively follow suit.
A part of me is bothered by the fact that people can't use a QR skewer, but at the end of the day, you have to design around inexperience.

I've also seen the lever so tight that I think a hammer was used to get it closed.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Eh, you get used to it.
It was of those multiple life events on top of one another situation. Filling fell out right before my last semester of college, tore my ACL a month after graduation, got a job about a month after surgery, so many months into the job, the wife decides we should save and buy a house, so I put basically everything off until that was fully sorted. And here we are.

Casually Deliberate
I braved the crowds at Dutch Bros to get nine stars on a loyalty card instead of the customary one. There were five cars behind me in line and another six in the other ordering line and, unfortunately, the way the lanes were set up, each had to cut across the other in order to get back onto the street. The whole process was generally orderly and quick, the other drivers must have become previously caffeinated because they were polite, but I could just imagine how chaotic it all probably was this morning before people had their first cuppa joe.
