#expensive bikes

I don't know how many times we have to say this but this is because the United States of America does not have public transit in any form that a European would recognize as such outside of a few very small, highly-dense municipal locations like NYC and Chicago, and having used both those systems and the U-Bahn i can firmly assert that the U-Bahn blows American subways into smithereens. we especially do not have accessible interstate passenger train service outside of that one commuter Amtrak loop in the northeast. the country is designed to force its citizens to use cars and only cars, and the government has made it policy to incentivize car ownership since the 1940s and punish any other form of transit, including just walking around. do you understand? the vast majority of roads here do not have bike lanes. when we do have bike lanes they are not protected by a curb or divider, they are just white lines painted on the asphalt. you will regularly encounter roads and streets--inside of cities and suburbs, not just in rural areas--that do not have sidewalks

so this is very embarrassing but i tanked my laptop yesterday (a week before submitting my thesis. everything is going great can you tell), my bike got messed with so i gotta go get it fixed, and this time next week i gotta print my thesis and have it bound three times. all of this will land me at several hundred €€€. i can get my bike fixed in spring or live without a laptop and study for my finals in some other way technically, but if anyone would like to chip in, that’d be super appreciated 🥺🫶

here’s my ko-fi. anything helps! 🤍🌷

IF NOBODY ELSE WILL DO IT THEN I WILL)

*skedaddles up to [REDACTED] and whispers in their ear*

"I crashed your sports bike in a waffle house parking lot on accident and ran over 3 pedestrians on the way there-"

“Please tell me it was Teo, Elanor, and Violet that you ran over on accident.” Without missing a beat, [REDACTED] leans into your side and brings you close with one hand. “…No? It's 'kay."

Before you know it, he's pulling out his fancy keycard with a second pair of keys on them and a smirk on his face. "…I got a Corvette parked ‘round the back. You up for... "bowling" with waffles after?”

what did you do now

[swiggity-swexual-i-am-asexual]

I’m just saying, if you’re going to have a college or university in such a car centric country and are located in a car dependent city, maybe you should be legally required to have at least one parking spot per student.

Your pictures are all so beautiful. I am sorry if you get this question a lot but what model of camera or phone do you use to take these pictures?

hey, thank you for your kind words! Actually I do not get asked this often, I currently have a Samsung EX2F (secondhand, it's survived an amazing amount of bouncing around in bike baskets), and a Redmi Note 11S. Often (but not always) if it's in 3:4 or 4:3 I took it on my phone, and 9:16 or 16:9 I took it with the camera.
