    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Wow...something is wrong with that Ninja. My Daytona gets 6.5L/100km in city traffic. I have yet to see a gas compact car get even close...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Maybe the fact that I choose NOT to haul 2 tons of metal with me during my commute is reason enough.

    Has the perfect city bike/commuter arrived??

    Also, when battery technology will evolve and we'll be able to charge the cars in say 5 mins, everybody will want one, how will the grid handle all of it? Tesla has a 65 or 86 kwh battery, charging that in 5 mins requires a hell of a charging station. Multiply that by thousands...we run into a...

    Has the perfect city bike/commuter arrived??

    Actually, that is not true, except for the heater. By far, the biggest drain on the battery outside of the drivetrain is the heater and that was reworked in 2013, it's more efficient now. One can mitigate that with heated seats front/rear plus heated steering wheel. One look at the energy usage...

    Has the perfect city bike/commuter arrived??

    We lease a Nissan Leaf. It's the best commuter car for us. Me and my wife fight over who gets to drive it (during the winter, I ride to work in the summer). We have an old Mazda 3 for longer road trips. I can get pretty much everywhere in the GTA on one charge (and back). The govt. incentive is...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Now, we can't we all get behind such a law? It makes perfect sense. It will improve traffic flow, cut on emissions, more people will take on riding, everyone will benefit. Yes, there will be idiots, but they are idiots anyway, filtering will not change that. We're crying like babies that we're...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Yes, let's ignore all the studies that show the clear benefits of filtering/lane splitting, and let's just go with what "we think might happen", we're the smartest, let's ignore the rest of the world. As was already said, it's not all about being rear ended. Yes, you have to pay attention all...

    Can we legalize lane filtering yet?

    Because this is a nanny state and we will always be reduced to the lowest common denominator. Common sense does not work here. What you're saying makes way too much sense to ever be considered.

    That Kawi H2 looks like it'll start to twist and turn and transform into a Decepticon.

    What's more dangerous?

    All I said is that you have to follow the traffic flow. If the flow is 70 kph in a 60 zone and you're doing 60, you frustrate other drivers. No cop will ticket you for going 10-20 above the limit. Yes, I heard it from cops. No sane person will tailgate you when driving with the flow.

    What's more dangerous?

    I never have an issue with tailgaters...and I've been commuting to work downtown for the past 3 years. Maybe that's because I don't ride like a dick at or below the speed limit when the flow is above that like a lot of "safe drivers" out there...maybe you need to take a look at your riding...

    UK using polygraphs to reduce false claims

    Nannies are created due to the fact that the government/corporations want to cover their ***** for liability reasons. By far, North America is the most litigious society. Western Europe is far less, not even worth talking about east.

    UK using polygraphs to reduce false claims

    What's gonna happen when that algorithm throws a false positive and you end up being investigated for insurance fraud for no reason?

    workout machine weght...

    Machines limit your motion to one plane. You don't use stabilizers muscles and that is not good. Yes, you isolate muscles, but what did you achieve by doing so? You're not building functional strength. This topic had been beaten to death. OP, squats, lunges and deadlifts are the way to build...

    Yes, lets leave Crossfit out of it. Good suggestions here. Ditch that machine, forget it exists. Any strength machine, for that matter.

    workout machine weght...

    Belt as a minimum? Suit? What kind of suit? The belt is there just so that the abdominal wall has something to press against when it stabilizes the spine during the movement, it's nice to have but hardly a necessity. I agree about the curved back, but what does that have to do with Crossfit...
