At the very least, Arizona and many other states should require a separate license and training to operate an RV that size.

And yeah, regardless of vehicle, it was an incredibly stupid (and illegal) decision to pass that closely.

BTW, AZs 3 ft passing law limits civil penalties to $500 if serious injury is causes, $1000 if death.

Dont know if the driver could be found negligent in a civil lawsuit?

I hope their mascot is the Human Being

80% of Americans live in urban settings

So we should raise our pitchforks at the everyday normal people who were riding totally legally along the right side of the lane, not more than two abreast, not holding up more than 5 vehicles, when a lunatic in a >5 ton RV decided it would be fine to pass with less than a mirrors width of space at 45 mph?

I agree that hitting the cyclist looks unintentional. And very sorry to hear that so many folks in your life have been taken by vehicle accidents.

When you say that this is, "just an unfortunate accident", it sounds like a defense of the RV drivers poor decision-making that led to very serious injuries of others, hence the downvote.

Provide regularly scheduled public transportation that feeds into denser urban areas. Make it easy to bike in denser urban areas.

When the weather is nice you could ebike.

No. As the article says, this requirement was implemented under the Biden administration. Trump is just pushing the deadline to comply forward by 6 months as a way to pressure Springer Nature into doing what he wants.

The greed of the publishing industry and the barriers they put up to access is well known. Trump here is trying to tarnish the integrity of federally funded science by going after a big dog publisher (just like his obsession with attacking Harvard) and threatening to cancel subscriptions the federal govt has. This would make access to information even harder. These subscriptions, as overpriced as they may be, are critical to the jobs of federal scientists.

Look at the totality of what Trump and the GOP is doing to gut science, outlined in project 2025 and in the latest budgets. Sure, I normally wouldn't mind seeing publishers sweat a little, but the reason they're losing a large chunk of their revenue stream is because federal funding for science has taken a huge hit.

Here is an opportunity to weigh in on designs. It closes September 1.

I may very well stick with splitwise given that most friends are familiar and there are nice features. Just wanted to know if a Foss alternative can even come close.

Paywalled, can someone paste the text?

I should add: galfer is available at LBS

Went Shimano, Performance had them for $29 a pair. But thanks for the tip, might try the Truckerco next.

Taking this comment at face value, I would absolutely agree.

I mean...yes? Absolutely, improve rail infrastructure in Albany and Syracuse. Build park and rides at places that feed into that improved system. Improve bus service (or train? Looks like there are already tracks in many places) along higway corridors with moderately sized communities.

Can counties or cities currently afford this without sacrificing something? No.

Would the federal government and states need to spend hundreds of billions, if not trillions, over several decades to make happen? Yes.
