Nice information, everyone! I discovered it! Behold, essentially the most ironically-named road in America:
Significantly, it’s referred to as “Independence” and also you’re not even allowed to experience a bicycle there? Getting a ticket for driving a bicycle on a road referred to as “Independence” could be much more ironic than getting busted for prostitution on the nook of Seaman and Cumming:
So why have been bicycles banned on Independence Road in Shamokin, PA, within the first place? Properly, I assume they have been afraid somebody would possibly discover their method there on a bicycle and store:
However that was then, and now it sounds just like the cyclists could also be just a little too independently-minded:
Wait, he clotheslined a child?!” They actually buried the lede there! That’s a juicy little bit of gossip to say the least, but I seemed up “Councilman Mike Duganitz Clotheslines Space Youth” and received no outcomes.
Plus, it will get much more ironic as a result of Independence Road intersects with Liberty Road:
Granted, I haven’t truly been to Shamokin, however I did take just a little digital cruise down Independence Road and I didn’t get the sense that bicycles would precisely plunge it into chaos:
Like, would it not actually be so dangerous if somebody received a wild hair and determined to experience a motorbike to The Enjoyable Zone?
Or Coney Island Lunch?
Or the Verilife hashish dispensary?
Wait a minute.
Somebody opened a hashish dispensary in Shamokin, PA and didn’t name it Smokin’ Shamokin?!?
That may be just like the native pizza joint not promoting Shamokin Scorching Wings–which, fortunately, they do:
Whew, I used to be beginning to fear.
Oh, and you already know what Shamokin means?
Properly for those who guessed “Place of Eels” you’re right:
My horizons have already broadened significantly and I haven’t even left the sofa.
Talking of Hungary, I discussed it briefly in yesterday’s publish, which received me fascinated with customized bikes once more:
This in flip prompted a spherical of introspection. Whereas all of us might have had snort, there however for the grace of Lob go I, and what’s the distinction between ordering a customized Mosaic full with mildly invasive becoming session and, say, shopping for a Rivendell? Properly, in a single sense, there’s probably not a distinction in any respect. For instance, in each instances you’re going to wind up with a chunk of wooden between your legs:
Additionally, is there actually a significant distinction between this…
…and this?
Certain, to us bike dorks there may be, however to the common particular person the 2 middle-aged hobbyists above are utterly interchangeable and equally self-indulgent, and regular individuals are pondering (or often even shouting) the very same obscenities at each of us once they see us from behind the wheel of their Hyundais.
Properly, okay, tremendous, I assume there may be one minor distinction, however it solely quantities to MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. The worth on that Mosiac was properly over $17,000 enjoyable tickets (he stated they “blew the unique complete funds of £14,000 out of the water”), which implies you may purchase your self 4 Rivendae as an alternative and stroll away with change:
Not that someone who needs a customized Mosaic goes to vary their thoughts and get a Rivendell as an alternative, however it does put issues in perspective.
