why do you hate kim kitsuragi so much

god, no. 'nother fun fact: the aforementioned legislative logic is straigt up what the nazis implemented to facilitate more car traffic.
Yet I whenever I point out shit's never going to meaningfully improve if the core logic isn't adressed I still come of like gods strongest turbocrank, even to other activists. I think the most radical demand that has any organized capacity behind it is that towns get an exception written into the federal laws that they can decide 30kph limits within city bounds at will instead of having to make a legal case for it
You can sue against traffic signs here. The reason is that the legal logic presumes every road is either 50kph (inside town) or 100kph (outside town) - barring the autobahn, obviously. That's the max limit.
Anything lower than that is an infringement of your rights to drive your cat at 50 / 100kph. As such, you can sue the responsible government entity for putting up the sign.
As noted above, most speed signs and nearly all of them outside of town can only be put in place because a lot of people already crashed there. There's very little wiggle room in the law to put up a sign as a preventive measure, unless things already happened, and basically zilch of that for deer crossings, only exceptions would be things like declaring a 70kph limit infront of a school or nursing home.
Here's a fun one: There was a section of autobahn, standardly at unlimited speed, that had a max speed of 120kph put in, because people kept crashing there. A few years, just about a year ago from now, the signs were removed because there weren't sufficient crashes to justify having them anymore. Immediatly, crash numbers shot way the hell up.
iirc you aren't in the US, but at least here the deer crossing signs are actually bullshit lol (in that deer will cross most anywhere, not just the 1-2 mile stretches indicated by the signs)
For a speed limiting sign to be even put up here people have to have crashed and gotten hurt like, a lot. Otherwise the first person to sue against it, which inevitably happens because my right to kill myself running into woodland creatures is attacked, would get them taken down.
Every deer crossing speed limit is quite literally written in blood. They wouldn't be there if nothing happend.
I think Death Stranding is the best bicycle touring game out there so I'd propose instead of RNG tyre pop you just go with the footwear (tyres) that go bad insanely fast
- Think Last of Us, 50:50 on the not-zombies, crucially, everyone didn't fucking forget bicycles existed
-- possibly also STALKER or METRO-like setting
But honestly pick any. Anywhere there is fuel scarcity bicycles would make sense.
Yeah nearly everyone in MGS that's not a one off character is either bi- or pansexual, I think there's a very obvious answer here
I'm into it but I'm very fucking pissed we got Horse Stranding before Bicycle Stranding
Sure. Albeit, a single spoke is like a dollar or so, might not be worth the effort of removing them from old bikes to see if they even fit. Length depends on both hub and rim and it's not exactly standardized, even for same size wheels. If you can, I'd just eat the 5 dollars a spoke and spoke wrenches cost to save some time
Nearly everyone I know who hit a deer on rural roads has ignored the lowered speed limits and the warning signs about deer crossings on some notion of conspiracy that it's a government plot to get people to drive slower because the government hates cars and then they get really mad at the deer
odd shop, that. Spoke wrenches are cheap, if you want to give it a go. the math on spoke length is confusing, but if you still have yours you could just measure it and give it a go, a single spoke shouldn't be too hard to do
New and wired: Using "dutch courage" to being overly optimistic about what you can carry on a bicycle and then just doing it

It's supposed to be more ecological, for obvious reasons. Weight on one is about 15kg, which is pretty good for a kitted out city bike.
I can't speak to longevity of this and whether it actually pans out vs. say, a steel bike that you keep welding back together, on account of these haven't really been around too long. It's held together via a composite glue made out of hemp and resin, so at least they're following through here I suppose.
Reviews I've read is that the ride quality is really nice, being stiff yet compliant in the ride cases as to not make it a boneshaker.
Price of these is, obviously, fairly high, these'd run you around 3000€ euros, I'd argue a comparable bike made out of traditional materials would run you maybe 800€ new. But I'd argue it's more a proof of concept.

I also sell to individual customers but you're gonna either have to be a pretty good runner to keep up or rather more dexterious so you can cycle next to me. Close passing cars and bike lane parkers get a nice squirt of mustard on the roof
Pictured here is the new spacecamper, usually a business for converting vans and such into campers, for cargo bikes.
I'm kind of undecided on this. It feels very convenient, unless you have an ultralight tent the weight of your bike, and your supplies and the tent and the bags and whatnot seems sort of the same as this stuff.
What do we think about the concept? Cool idea to incorporate your bicycle into your sleeping arrangement for trips or dumb playtoy?
