Can we get 80 on mount Osmond road please?? It’s only 50 now and it’s just pathetic. Now obviously I’m not expecting everyone to be able to hold 80 the entire time, but there are some sections of road where doing 50 is a snails pace and the cars go even slower around corners so upping it to 80 would just stop the crawling of cars and also make it faster to drive on for everyone.

Our goal is to peacefully encourage more people to cycle and convince car owners to use their car for less trips when viable to do so. A lot of people own cars, would calling them Nazis really help our cause?

My vision is we make cyclists and public transit users look like responsible happy citizens and attract jealousy of those stuck in traffic.

Obviously weren’t paying much attention and took it as a free holiday. Much like the attention they pay on the roads in their big SUVs.

The ACT has done a fantastic job in this field. If you’re a commuter you’ll rarely find yourself on a road, and if you do it will most likely have a permanent bike lane (no parked cars in sight)

Sure, if you’re more of an adventurous cyclist like me and do more advanced rural cycling, you might end up on some roads (eg. when riding to Queanbeyan) but even that route has a bike lane.

Shame that Adelaide, the “cycling capital” because of the Tour Down Under, has terrible bike infrastructure and timed bike lanes so people are allowed to park in them off-peak.

If you can, move back in with your parents

Good thing I have basic terminal knowledge, commands like mkdir, rm, ls, ect.

And my system is just a media server with plenty of snapshots to backup with

Terminal makes things easy. I used to prefer gui, but now I just use terminal and ChatGPT because doing anything can simply be a matter of copy paste commands into the terminal from AI instead of having to research and/or navigate through settings menus to find the right setting.

By putting bicycle at the start of the news article, it makes the topic about bike riders instead of the topic being about bad driving.

See the impression titles give, just by the ordering of the words:

“Bicycle riders hit by car” - cycling is dangerous and don’t belong on the road

“Car hits bicycle riders” - how sad, poor cyclists, irresponsible driver

What was the original Simpsons screenshot? I want to know what those signs originally said.

Who uses a mouse? I function all applications with just a keyboard, my custom arch based distribution doesn’t even support mice because I removed all drivers from the kernel. /s

 

Asked for the lyrics to Happy by Pharell Williams. It said, sorry I can't, so I forced it to by saying, but you can, and it apologised and started writing but it got force stopped by chatgpt because it violated content policy.

 
 
 
 

Not much activity in the Adelaide community, so I've opted to manually create these when I can. I don't know how to get a bot to do it. Maybe someone can make an Adelaide bot?

 

What are some cool roads near Adelaide to ride on that have interesting history / weird design or just underrated in general maybe in the hills.

 

Got it for $800 AUD, carbon frame!
