Get Over Your self – Bike Snob NYC


With the foliage in probably the most vibrant section of its loss of life throes it’s simple to miss one thing as mundane as a disabled fowl scooter:

Nonetheless, on this case I seen not solely the scooter itself but in addition the pathetic plea that was plastered beneath:

What?!? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!? Hey, I’m not a type of assholes who will knock these items over or toss them within the river, however there’s no goddamn manner I’m gonna choose up their scooters for them. That is like going right into a Burger King just for them at hand you a bag of frozen substances, level you to a microwave, and say, “You make it.” Really, it’s not even that, as a result of in that case I really needed the Burger King. Actually, this is sort of a Burger King worker leaving a bag of the shop’s trash in entrance of your home with a word on it that claims, “Please do away with this for me.” I bear in mind when shared “micromobility” was going to avoid wasting society–I even believed it for awhile myself! Now I perceive that at finest it’s the Life Alert of the transit world:

Talking of transit, with a single Los Angeles baseball group rebuffing each of New York Metropolis’s groups one after the opposite, we’re feeling deeply insecure and so in an act of desperation the Division of Transportation is falling again on smugness:

Yeah, we actually bought them there, as a result of not like Los Angeles, New York Metropolis doesn’t have any overly broad and congested roadways or something like that.

Oh, wait, sure we do, and also you don’t want AI to generate pictures of it, both. All you want is the pictures of them town makes use of for instance their very own reviews of how shitty they’re:

In reality, not solely do we have now probably the most congested freeway in the complete nation, however we occupy three of the highest 10 spots!

We could not win the World Sequence, however we’ll at all times have one of the best visitors.

Not solely that, however the final time Dodgers and Yankees met within the World Sequence was 1981. Since then, Los Angeles has constructed a whole commuter rail system:

And in that very same period of time, we’ve mainly simply constructed 1.8 miles of subway monitor:

It took us 88 years and it’s the costliest subway line in the complete world:

Oh yeah, we additionally prolonged the 7 practice one (1) cease and constructed a big-ass subway station that no one makes use of.

In order I prefer to say:

See, we like to consider ourselves as a strolling (or bicycling, or public transit) city, however we’re actually in no place to congratulate ourselves for transcending the ills of motordom:

Because it occurs, this occurred proper outdoors of my youthful son’s college. Luckily it seems to have occurred within the wee hours when there have been no youngsters round, however once I handed by within the late morning they had been nonetheless cleansing up the particles:

I plugged the plate of the overturned douche canoe into the How’s My Driving web site:

The automobile has acquired a formidable variety of fines over the previous couple years:

Largely parking…

…however some pink gentle and dashing violations too:

Word that How’s My Driving doesn’t choose up transferring violations, solely digital camera violations and parking tickets, which is knowledge that’s publicly obtainable. Town really created a program to take care of drivers like this, however they by no means did something with it and so they let it expire:

However no less than we’re not LA, proper?
