White is not the only high-level cyclist to die in Colorado in recent years. In 2020, Clif Pro Team racer Ben Sonntag was killed by a driver while on a training ride outside Durango. That driver was sentenced to serve jail time in late 2021. In 2021, U.S. masters champion Gwen Inglis was killed by a driver outside Lakewood,...
Over the last few months, there has been a steady stream of photos and videos showcasing the world’s largest bicycle parking garage that opened in Amsterdam. This facility, which is completely free for daily use under 24 hours, and this massive investment by the municipal government, is not simply to benefit those who ride...
It estimated that 148 top corporations made $1.8 trillion in profits, 52 percent up on 3-year average, allowing hefty pay-outs to shareholders even as millions of workers faced a cost of living crisis as inflation led to wage cuts in real terms.
I guess we know where all this “inflation” came from.
And stop calling it “profits”, it’s theft. They are stealing from customers by overcharging, and they are stealing from employees by not paying them enough.
There’s absolutely no reason why their workers aren’t getting a large chunk of that money, especially when “profits” are up an average of 52 goddamn percent.
When the hell is enough money enough for these assholes? What are they planning to do with all this hoarded wealth? Buy a country?
The prosecution pushed for a $1,000 fine and a complete driving ban, while the defense argued for a higher fine ranging from $1,500 to $1,800 without any prohibitions. Along with the $1,150 fine the judge restricted his driving to work duties and picking up his kids....

The bike industry doesn’t want to destroy society the same way the car industry does, so this wouldn’t have made any difference.
And it’s a combination of lobbying by the oil/gas industry + the car industry that created an unstoppable force. Just look at the tens of millions the auto industry spends lobbying.
Look. I’m using a 4 year old phone, and apps seem to install in seconds. Downloading them takes longer than the install, and even that’s a few seconds…
