  • Body mods that look good in the traditional sense are generally called plastic/cosmetic surgery. Breast implants, face lifts, hair implants, etc. are the same idea as body mods, just with the goal of achieving a more mainstream idea of beauty.

  • For what it's worth the UK uses mph and we've had the Internet for a little while now too, and here e-scooters are technically illegal to ride anywhere other than on private land, i.e. not on pavement, on bike lanes or on the road.

    The exception is if you're in one of the cities which is operating a "trial" rental scheme, in which case the rental company will let you know where they think you should ride. But I believe even in those areas privately owned e-scooters remain illegal to use in public.

  • The bicycle industry really needs to settle on a singe bottom bracket standard. It's not like there's a significant difference in performance from the million different variations. An industry-standard rear derailleur hanger would also save a lot of headaches where people try to hunt down a replacement for a frame that's been out of production for years.

  • This has always been the case in the UK and I hate it. My city actually planned on banning it on two of the busiest roads in the city (because obviously people constantly pulling in and out of traffic will always make it worse), but the drivers protested and now the plan is scrapped.

  • Ah, that makes sense. For what it's worth I think you guys are on the right track with e-bikes; allow more powerful motors but give them a different classification.

    What are things like on that side of the pond? The "20's plenty" campaign is well underway over here, do you have similar movements in the US?

    1. This change came from the Welsh Labour government, it is not a tory policy (though they apparently initially supported it)
    2. Again, it's an entirely avoidable cost by simply obeying the law. If you're poor and can't afford to pay speeding fines, don't speed.
  • From the Welsh government's FAQ again: "The evidence from around the world is very clear – reducing speed limits reduces collisions and saves lives." The intended benefit is to reduc the risk of collisions and to reduce injuries in the case of collisions. Lowering the speed limit will result in both of those things, and so we will be seeing the intended benefit.
