Commuting by Bicycle
Advice for bicyclists:
[Motor] vehicle behavior is ruled neither by the common
sense of the driver, nor by traffic laws. Vehicles are
driven by robots where a part of the AI was replaced by
a random-number generator.
[from a kuro5hin discussion]
My wife bought me a road bike last weekend.
Today I bought a pair of brake pads for it.
The bike is so advanced that the brake pads cost
just barely under
80% of what the bike cost: $3.99, of the bike's $5.00.
I'm hoping to start commuting by bike, at least some of the time.
It's 8 miles each way, and I believe that I've found a route that has four
closed gates that prevent through-car-traffic, and a park that
does likewise.
Once I install the fancy new high-tech brake pads, we'll see
how often "some of the time" turns out to be.
