The false equivalency between hundreds of cyclists getting killed every year and the minor inconvenience caused by a group bike ride is morally bankrupt, hate to break it to you

I was literally shocked the first time I found out that in the USA, the top cause of maternal death during pregnancy is homicide. I thought expectant mothers were more likely to die of, like, pre-eclampsia or ectopic pregnancies or heart attacks or something going wrong during childbirth.

Nope. It’s murder. like WTAF????

“Women in this country are more likely to be murdered while pregnant or shortly after giving birth than to die from the three leading obstetric causes of maternal death—including pregnancy-related high blood pressure, bleeding, or sepsis.

“Most murders of pregnant people are linked to intimate partner violence and gun violence, both of which are more common in the United States than in other high-income countries.”

Apparently it’s more “useful” (edit: for the general population) to learn how to avoid killing your pregnant partner than it is to learn how to recognize the signs that your pregnant partner is having a heart attack. I still struggle to wrap my head around this.

Has always been the most restaurant of Carytown

Wawa and Sheetz fans need solidarity when the new Royal Farms start opening

A train is on a track…but once again I am no expert

A protest you can easily ignore is a shitty protest sorry

Dude no way fancy biscuit is the shit

The fan definitely qualifies for a college town

Service there has always sucked.

I admit to riding through some intersections. But never Belvidere and Franklin. Not only is there a lot of traffic there, but it is a super complicated traffic pattern.

Hangar steak is great imo

Libbie Market has the Ukrops ones each year

Damn I love tobacco company. One a my favorites

Its very expensive for average food and shit service. 1/5

Holy shit I came here to say this and it’s at the top 😂😂

Used to be good

90% of cyclists give the 10% a bad name! This is an outrage!

Wow. I had a very different experience. I imagine it varies by who is giving the class.

☝🏽This!!!

Thank you. It's not that I disagree there's a problem with drivers. It's more than the BSB are not seen as a solution or even contributing to it but rather a ragtag group that is out it just have fun running lights and blocking streets

Get a dash cam and shame them post it on social media.

That's about half of the restaurants here. Mostly lukewarm food and below average service.

Trampoline park? There are three in the area.

In case you are open to learning more, here are some stories from the last year - two of VA cyclists getting killed while seemingly adhering to the law and one of a seeming group of organized drivers out to maim/kill cyclists by dooring them.
