Every single day
Same dude walks down the street at 10pm smoking ciggies and taking loud phone calls about nothing. Seriously I’ve heard his side of things and he talks about nothing
Same dude buys opium or heroin from sketchy folks who park a block away but are totally visible
Same dude moved his living room to his garage so he can blast sports all night
Not sure what he does, he’s always home before me
Oh and the lady 3 doors down is limited mobility. Like, not that she’d ever go down the sidewalk that way but she wouldn’t be able to get around.
Dude is a complete jackass
I do feel bad for him. He’s got at least 1 son but limited parenting time. When I see him with the kid he’s super strict and mean and yells. The kids trying to skateboard and he’s not in the street but on the shitty sidewalk. Kid rides his bike on the sidewalk.
When we moved in he had a dog and a woman who lived with him that drove a truck with a funny name. It was a purple dump truck, totally sweet. She was nice.
Every morning the kids that redistribute scooters here block the MUP entrances to grab your attention, I guess.
Also, I found a vehicle I hate more than cars. Pedal-powered trolley bars.
That begs the question of “are they light enough to pick up and hurl into the underbrush?”
I’ve tested this: yes, though it was a scooter blocking a bike lane and I threw it into the street.
Citibike redistribution vans in nyc always park in the bike lanes when loading/ unloading. So dumb. They used to move them on bike trailers but I think they contacted to a company that uses sprinters.
to be fair, everyone parks in the bike lane in nyc
That was my thought too. It seems like you grab the handle, spin around like an olympic hammer thrower, and launch a scooter into the weeds. And if you’re technique isn’t perfect, you’ll have it worked out by the time you get to the sixth scooter.
Can also confirm that they’re on the upper end of tossability in terms of weight. The key is working out exactly where to hold them.
Somewhere in a parking lot there’s a bunch of custom made $10k trailers rusting away. Probably next to the 30ft tall pile of older generation bikes.
Based on my recent experience all the old busted up bikes are just locked in the docks waiting for people to waste money on them. I don’t use them often but can’t remember the last one I didn’t hit the service button.
proud to say there are no piles of last gen bikes in any of the systems i’m involved with. we ain’t got that lyft money to piss away
Ours are rough right now
Do you know the deal with Divvy? I know it’s a Lyft product.
all motivate systems (with the exception of one or two maybe) are lyft owned. its kind of a head scratcher, they didn’t really buy any exclusive designs that they used, and motivate spun off as a maintenance company (lyft didn’t want an easy in for unionization). so they seemingly purchased the contracts for $250m or something. nothing in bikeshare makes a ton of sense, this makes less sense than usual.
I tend to avoid share bikes because I just can’t get the hang of riding with my phone in my hand
pockets?
I’ve ridden a divvy one time and I didn’t need to be holding my phone while I did it.
There’s a river just beyond the trees in the background that’s probably a little too nice to litter with batteries… Earlier this summer:
I just assumed from watching that wasn’t allowed
