not a hater of bike riders! i have thought about getting a bike in the past. i was just saying this road i live on is a bad choice for them to be on. 2 lane road, bumper to bumper all day long. nowhere for them to go, nowhere for me to go. just very dangerous. and for the earlier post where someone mentioned people opening car doors, or throwing things at bike riders, those people should be under the jail. everyone stay safe.

In the past when this discussion came up I would jump to the defense of bike riders.  I rode all the time, and still do.  But I've given up on the roads and headed for the woods.  You get a great, stress-free work out and enjoy the great outdoors.  I used to enjoy racing cars from stoplight to stoplight but too many negatives.

 

1)  spandex

2)  all road bikers are colorblind &/or tasteless, not opinion- fact.

3)  extended mirrors (yes, I've been clipped)

4)  multiple "memorial rides" for killed cyclists

5)  getting lumped in with mopeds/loser scooters

6)  tarmac, reflected heat

7)  breathing car/truck exhaust

8)  too easy to stay on the seat and crank, get in the woods and stand up!  (much better core workout)

9)  distracted drivers (auto and manual)

10)  roads are getting narrower.  Debris/cracks/sewer grates can cause a spill in a split second with tiny road tires.

 

All that being said, the law is on the side of the cyclist.  More than one life can be ruined when a cyclist is hit.  No matter where you live I would bet that there are trails to explore somewhere nearby.  We've got two really nice one's in Wilmington where no one expects there to be "mountain" biking.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
