  • Weed/beer are part, not “all” there is.

    Any kind of hard but fun workout can reset and stretch out your sore feet, tight back, and burning forearms.

    I usually bike to work. Treating a road bike like it’s a surfboard on an endless wave that is my city’s streets & paths is a riot to me. It can ether be an aggression outlet for when I’ve had to grit my teeth through a belligerently drunk lead waitress or owner or it can just be a peaceful flow session after successfully tackling obstacles of laziness/forgetfulness from the previous shift or lead cook.

    We got a decent rock climbing gym in town and I’ve been hitting that once a week. Fixes my back right up.

    We’re talking, laughing, and even singing a bit in the back. The radio is cranked the whole time. (it’s a bbq, not fine dining). Honestly, I mainly just need a filling portion of some semi-healthy food and small chunk of time soaking in the sky with a decent degree of solitude.


  • We’ll still need the roads & streets, repairs/repaves, traffic lights, and snow plows even if 95% of us switch to bikes, e-mopeds, and trains…

    In a hypothetical 2050 America that has embraced walkable neighborhoods and biking M-F and only using cars to visit friends in a different city, the roads & streets will still be being worn out at nearly the same rate by the elements and heavy delivery, construction, and emergency vehicles.

    Because the road-quality bar for driveability is a often noticeably lower than the bar for bikeability, many/most municipalities with actual bike users on the board may vote for higher quality road construction, which likely would raise labor and/or material costs and likely balancing out to the same 20 year costs despite maybe going an extra year or two between repaves due to significantly less civilian 3,000-8,000lbs commuter vehicle use.
