Most versatile Brompton ebike ever ready to conquer the US
8mon 17d ago in micromobility from newatlas.comoh, for sure, compared to cars it's almost a no-brainer. But compared to other bikes it really is one of the more expensive offerings
Well, I'm of the opinion that Brompton (and every other company) should pull out of US distribution until their government stops being fascist pigs.
But I digress...
The ticket price of US$4,950...
Wildly expensive, even if it's a Brompton.
a 7-year frame warranty and 3-year e-system warranty
Kudos where kudos are due. Glad to see a bike company offer more than a year warranty on their e-bikes!
Opinion: Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces
8mon 18d ago in fuckcars from www.thejournal.ieA tale as old as time! Car brains don't bat an eye when it's $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on "convenience" for motorists.
But don't you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s
I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, "free" on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we've normalized.
Maybe then they'd STFU about cost.
All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.
A Canadian politician is openly spreading Nazi propaganda
8mon 18d ago in canada@lemmy.ca from truths-and-loves.ghost.ioTherefore, it is crucial to note that Hitler chose a party name of national socialists to deceive the general public, in particular the working class, to grow the base and strength of the Nazi Party. This was an intentional lie, deliberate propaganda...
The fact that either PP doesn't know this, or is trying to deliberately twist the facts, should make every Canadian angry.
To equate true socialism, like making sure that school kids have food in their stomach, to what Nazis did under Hitler, is so dishonest and shameful.

Industry professionals say unbought condos could lead to big layoffs
Everything is unaffordable, workers are all being laid off, AI is replacing people, minimum wage isn't enough to support a living wage...
What's the capitalist end-game here? A world full of poor, unemployed, desperate people likely won't make shareholders any richer, will it?
Look at all these people stuck in their metal boxes
8mon 18d ago in fuckcars from cdn.imgchest.comThose brake lights tell a different story. Still, what are we talking... a 1 or 2 km length of road for 150 cars to be passed by a single cyclist? Such an inefficient use of space.
Not a red, but funny enough, all those cars are blocking the intersection...
Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised'
8mon 18d ago in bicycles@lemmy.ca from www.bbc.co.ukIt's rare to see the law work in the victim's favour, so stealing back your own bike would probably land you in jail (in North America, at least).
“The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV… the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm.”
Interesting. Then they'll stop investigating other vehicle theft, too, right?
Also, if you are going to "decriminalize" crimes like that, then at least "decriminalize" actions taken by people to prevent or recover their stolen property.
