@psud I really should try a recumbent bike one day, I enjoyed my trike but the bikes always scared me. But I should give one a try.

@psud I got enough skin taken off my knee at 20kmph to make dancing at my wedding 6 weeks later sketchy.

Although that was gravel.

@psud @snekerpimp honestly the gravel rash you can get at 40kmph is pretty significant, and hills to get that much speed aren’t weird.

@ExtremeDullard thinner first layer (many profiles default to a thicker first layer), colour sequence too.

Those would be the first things I’d try.

@stray @turtlesareneat erecting fences to prevent unsafe crossings is usually done way before adequate crossing options are given.

@Endymion_Mallorn @culprit @racketlauncher831 Where everything I could think of doing in Tokyo was <300m from a train station. Just tap a card to get into the station and go where you want to be. Such a fantastic city to visit, I wish I had made an opportunity to live there at some point.

Even the much smaller city of Kyoto, which has just a small metro + buses, was a pleasure to travel around. Plentiful buses and so many things are within walking distance.

@Endymion_Mallorn @culprit @racketlauncher831 Despite the fear of dogpiling, the two cities I’ve visited that contrast the most sharply are Houston and Tokyo. When we visited Houston for my BIL’s wedding we stayed in a hotel 500m from the venue where the wedding was being held. Walking those 500m was horrific and clearly everyone expected us to drive 2 miles to park 300m from the venue. Even going between two stores in the same complex was expected to be by car.

@TerranFenrir @mondoman712 the strength requirements for rails are much lower on the moon. I would also assume movement isn’t going to be driven by the wheels (low gravity gives low friction), so that isn’t a driving concern either (pun fully intended)

@9point6 @scrubbles the $500 a month for a second hand lease?

Converting that to Aussie, we’ll call it $800 a month. My wife visits the office twice a week, by Uber at 8pm her one way commute would be $42. That is safely an under estimate as peak traffic makes that much worse.

2 x 2 x 4 = 16 trips a month is $672 a month on taxi’s for that commute. A commute that is infrequent, and less than half the distance to the city from our suburb.

Yes that is before other car costs, but other trips too
