If you list your city hall as a redevelopment site in your housing element, that should be grounds for immediate disincorporation. You don't want a city government anymore? Okay, deal!

Was on @JeremyVineOn5 talking to @theJeremyVine about @grantshapps latest proposals for new legislation for cyclists. As I`ve been saying for a long time, we need tougher laws, such as compulsory number plates for cyclists, to make roads safer for ALL users #cyclists

We are not ready (and by we, I include me) to accept that casual, reliable business or air travel is over. It's not coming back. It is going to take some time to accept. We're only at stage 1 or 2 (denial, anger) or at most 3 (bargaining w airlines on Twitter) of KΓΌbler-Ross

We finally have some data on this question. Reinfection was found to substantially increase the risk of death, hospitalization, and adverse health outcomes, making strategies preventing reinfection critical.

I called a bike shop for availability in my size + price point. He spent the call telling me that I needed to jump up in $$. That anything under $6K wasn't worth it.
Dude, don't do this. I'm a beginner and feel like $4K is already a lot of $ for something I haven't yet tried.
