Fair enough, but the other comments reveal many people who think the democrats do act in good faith the majority of the time. That is also implied by the accusation of republicans, instead of politicians.

If you think it is mostly republicans then you are not honest in your evaluation of who is doing what why. Confront your bias.

He holds several interesting cards though. He is still a republican in a senate where republicans have a majority - which means if the republicans want to do something unpopular he can sponsor and take credit for it: since he is out anyway he doesn't have to worry about reelection and so can be the face of it. In turn that means he can get things he wants done in the same bill.

It remains to be seen how this plays out of course.

I would expect rental bikes to only really be viable in busy places where there are a lot of pedestrians. Bikes are unsafe in those areas. Even a normal acoustic bike on a slight uphill is going to be too fast to share a path with pedestrians.

What we need in busy situations is 4 different types of trails. One for those acting like a pedestrian, one for those acting like an acoustic bike, one for that acting like a slow speed car, and one for those acting like a high speed car. Acting is important, often you can choose to operate in different ways. However these is extremely expensive and needs a lot of space so we almost always compromise and put two different uses into one and then the conflicts you describe happens: there is no easy/cheap solution.

You cannot tell by looking the difference between an ebike and an emoto. However an emoto will go much faster.

I'm assuming level ground. Down hill they both (and an acoustic bike) can all get going dangerously fast.

I expect the same here, but we haven't reached that yet. I have no doubt in twenty years finding gas will start to become a similar effort.

I'm thinking of yearly trips. My in-laws live far enough away that it is a major trip to visit. Flying the family is expensive so often we make it a two or three day road trip. We try to see something weird everyday so it won't be the same roads or stops. The general plan is head southwest until we hit i10, about 3 pm we book a hotel that we will arrive at around 6, and use GPS to ensure we do, but otherwise there is no reason for using any particular road.

In the USA most exits have those signs. Most places that target travelers will have a large sign some place. Gas stations though are always right on the end of the ramp so they don't need a sign.

rest stops are a public good that won't have gas though.

Must not have a GM without car play support. I made that mistake and constantly hate it. In not playing another subscription for my car.

Until a road trip where they wish chargers were as obvious as gas stations. Enough exist to make the trip, but are not as common and are not on the beaten path so you need an app to find them.

When I make a road trip I'm often traveling on roads I've already looked up and I don't wasn't that voice yelling at me so I'm not using a GPS most of the time. We still use the gas car for road trips, but I often play the game "it had been 150 miles where is the nearest charger without using an app" I typically don't find it the next 50. An app would find one in sure but that isn't something I should need.

For short trips my EV passes them all and like you say I'm glad I'm not paying those prices. Until I pull into a charger because it is there and discover they have weird pricing systems. yesterday has would have been cheaper because I didn't know I would have to move so fast and so I paid a minimum charge more half hour worth of charge was worth. (The group tour said meet here I thought it was to unload not drive into normally of limits areas.)

I would trust my doctor for advice. I've been in that tube a few times-my body can't lie still for that long and then they get mad because I moved meaning the machine alignment gets of and they need me in longer while they recalibrate. Thus if not needed I wouldn't - but if needed, well I'm still walking today because of what it found.

That is why there is a built in battery Charge the battery for however long it takes then 'fast' drain it to charge the car.
