Jigsaw will invite the kids to play a little game. Then take their bikes.

Doesn't he end up doing just about the same amount of work/energy as if he was shoveling? He's got the bike geared low so he's peddling pretty fast. He's got wheels but he's also got extra weight from the plow and himself and is pushing more snow than with a shovel.

If I only knew someone better at math than me.

I have. He is currently trying to build a wooden frame to convert a road bike to an indoor bike, utilizing old Rollerblade wheels and two by fours. I made some changes to the profile to bring back some memories of the good ol' days.

I wonder how long it took him to train that bike!

Most cops seriously could not give 2 shits about bikes being stolen in front of them. It's not their job to deal with bike theft; it's an insurance issue. I bet this guy doesn't even get charged with attempted theft.

Honestly, I was as surprised as he was that the cops intervened in a bike theft. Must have belonged to the cop that stopped him.

Cause and Fault are 2 separate things and both can be true. The nuisance on the bike increased the level of distraction and added frustration on top of the situation. Thus causing the accident in my opinion. But the fault is with the driver.

Just remember after handing you a ticket police officers hop back behind the wheel of this.

Ehhh you are 110% fault if you try and claim a bike in the other lane caused you to rear end the guy in front of you.

It's an absolute mystery to me, how the guy in front STAYS on his bike, although he has two friggin' crows stuck in him and another biker crashing into his rear at 168mph all while driving on gravel...

Arcata, being our college town, is the most expensive town here. I would consider other nearby towns if being cheap is important. Try Blue Lake, where I am (I'm outside town), it's more rural but under 10 miles from Arcata.
We moved here 25 years ago....back then, a 1000 square ft house with an acre cost us $800a month. I've owned my home since then, so I'm out of the rent loop, but poking on craigslist looks like around $1500-$2000 for a decent house, with some more, some less depending on what you get. Nice 2-3 bedroom homes seem to be about $500000 now with some property.

Our gas is the most expensive in the country consistently, over $4.

Beyond that, it's pretty cheap. Property tax is 1%, food is reasonable, entertainment is mostly nature and community, fishing, hunting, hiking, boating, surfing, diving, even back country skiing 1/2 hour up hill, so free, although there are paid events too, we even had GWAR play a few times in Eureka, but no opera or ballet.

My wife and I live on $30k....we have 4 cars, pets, vacations, a large pond, hot tub, etc. Because I have room, I grow a lot of our produce and we have around 40 fruit trees. We aren't putting any extra in the bank, but aren't depleting our savings either.

We are the marijuana capital of America, if you know the right people, it's maybe $100 an oz for A grade, $10-20 a gram for wax/oil.

All in all, it depends on your lifestyle. It would be easy to spend all you save living here on gas, or easy to not have a car at all if you're in town and will ride a bike in the rain. While there are certainly cheaper places to live, I'm not sure there's better. Our forests are gorgeous with skyscraper redwoods, the ocean is cold but clean here, the rivers unspoilt and full of fish, our air is some of the cleanest in the lower 48, water is too, and our summer daytime temperature is mostly 70-75 F, winter is low 50's- freezing, but we have very few freezing days.

Mckinleyville, just above Arcata, was (still is?) the largest town in California with no police, only highway patrol. They got a multiplex before police!

We have a ton of immigration from the bay area, but more often than not they move back because they miss the fast pace and abundant services and entertainment....I didn't.

Hope that helps. We love it here, but we're slow paced and super cheap bastards. If you are too, come check it out.

I did for years....I rode my bike 35 miles a day between home, school, and work. I got pulled over without ID, then went on my way without issue.

"Travel" is a different word from "drive"....that's why they are spelled and pronounced differently. You're sounding like one of those idiotic "Freemen" who think they can declare personal sovereignty....they always claim a right to travel without ID means any type of traveling including driving and flying on airplanes, it doesn't.
