Wow! Here in the US, they’re
Wow! Here in the US, they’re definitely not big on public transport, but my local bus system costs $1 (75p) per ride or $3 (£2.25) for unlimited rides in a day, and is half price for students, disabled, veterans, and seniors over 65.
Also, $40 (£30) for an unlimited 30-day pass.
The downside is it’s not very convenient, and I can generally get anywhere faster by bicycle.

I’ve had it done to me once, as I was riding on the very wide shoulder of a 45 MPH road. The truck got stopped at the next red light, and was in the lane to go straight. I started sprinting, and suspect he saw me coming as he suddenly decided that he needed to turn instead (right on red, USA.) Coward.
The only obviously friendly
The only obviously friendly use of a horn I’ve experienced is when a friend has seen me out on my bike. If they’re going the opposite direction, I can usually see who it is, especially if their window is down. If they’re passing me, a couple of short toots after they’ve done so is much less alarming than while they’re still behind me. If they honk while still behind me, my middle finger may already be up before I realize who it is.

Wow, that does look odd. I’ve only installed a couple of headsets, but I’m really puzzled how that can happen unless the head tube itself is not concentric.
Is that an aluminium alloy frame?

Any chance it has some sort of purposefully non-concentric headset adapter? Like these ones, for instance.

(Does anyone else remember when people used to actually scrape their windscreens, using a ‘scraper’, or did I just dream that…?).I have one of those in my boot, but I can’t remember the last time I had to use it. My car spends its nights, and most days, in the garage. My neighbors seem to use their garages to store boxes of stuff they never unpacked after moving in two decades ago, instead.
A couple of guys next to me
A couple of guys next to me often go out to the parking lot to remote start their cars about 15 minutes before the end of the work day. Granted, we had weeks of the temperature hanging around 0 °F / -18 °C, but still, I had normally ridden my bike in.
I try to make them feel bad by asking them to warm my bike up while they’re out there. I hope they at least feel a little soft.

“Jail for triathlete who chomped off stranger’s ear in Dundee pubHe needed nine police officers to restrain him after biting off a random stranger’s ear.”
Any Dundee Courier subscribers on here?
The number of proper cyclists out today is unchanged.

I can’t get past the paywall. How does it become relevant to the story that he’s a triathlete? If I did the same thing, what would the headline be?

Woman drives car onto pavement and crashes into lamp post in Ketley, Telford. 2.30pm on Friday afternoon.This is a straight 30mph road on the approach to a crossroads with traffic lights (street view).
And we have to share the roads with these morons…
“Upon arrival we found a woman who was the driver of the vehicle. She was assessed and had sustained injuries not believed to be serious. She received self care advice and was discharged at the scene.”
Was the “self care advice” to turn in her driving licence?

I see it fine, but I’m in the US. Not much more in the article than in the preview.
COCKEYSVILLE, Md. — A senior citizen crashed their car into a commercial building Tuesday morning in Baltimore County.
SkyTeam 11 reported the car crashed into a building around 10 a.m. at MVS Wound Care & Hyperbarics in the 10500 block of York Road in Cockeysville.
The driver was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
County police said no one inside the building was struck or hurt.
Carry a small thermostat in your car and aim for an interior temp of around 180C. Any hotter and drivers can get lethargic (unsafe). Much lower and they may be irritable (ditto).I would be pretty irritable if the car’s cabin temperature had exceeded 180C! 😉
Makes a good case for writing “18 Degrees Celsius” rather than “18˚C”
Or at least 18 °C as per the international standard. Only for angular degrees does the degree symbol go after the number without a space.
