Friends, friends, and friends. This weekend is all about them! TBPM: do you have many friends internationally?

Lol, quite the difference! My bike is so light I can pick it up with a finger. But I love that both of us are taking on the world outside of the four wheel paradigm!

From one bike enthusiast to another: I bike all over the place, but no motor. I think it would be fun to really extend range just by adding pedal assist. Does that count? :)

So nice to meet you!

It's mutual. Nice to meet you!

What Calvin said. That was great! Thanks, @Calvin! Also, @Weshoulddo, if you're trying to lose weight, managing insulinemic response is really helpful too. A lot of people I know swear by Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar (a few tablespoons?) to blunt insulinemic response during days when they try...

How feasible is it to build an ebike from an existing bike? Just a basic one?

If you don't mind me asking, did this happen in a dense urban place or a small city? Or something in between?

In Deaf-related DV/SA, there are complications that come from calling police officers who are unfamiliar with Deaf people and their communication needs. Perpetrators are more likely to use that to their favor. I've often heard that advocacy from an agency while talking to the police can really...

Are you bringing a tent or something to sleep in? I'm not familiar with how hiker/biker campsites. Oh, how much cargo are you carrying? I admit I'm learning so much from this thread already. Perhaps one day I will take a similar trip!

This sounds like a fantastic trip! You clearly have an appreciation of the smaller things in life, and I am inspired. Thank you for the inspiration, kind stranger :)

There are a number of Deaf DV/SA support agencies that could be really helpful for her on the East Coast. I think those are the best to start with. You could reach out to them and ask them what they can do in this situation. They have a lot of experience and are generally fantastic people.

Does the range change based on how fast you go?

The more I use BASH, the more I love Linux :)

Lookin' like Johnny Depp!

Yeah, I came off a little hard on that one and own up to it. The idea of helicopter parents hits close to home because I've seen brilliant friends completely set back by well-meaning but unconscious parents. Still though, no excuse for me to come in with semantic guns a-blazin'. I'm not so...

Ha on Wee-Fee. Post-work routine involves usually going for a jog or cycling. Need those endorphins to clear up the noggin. TBPM: Typical pre-work routine?

The scent of the outdoors as a whole. TBPM: favorite route to drive?

Haul ass, sister! Much love to y'all.

"People who can't control themselves control the people around them. When you rely on someone for a positive reflected sense of self, you invariably try to control him or her." -- David Schnarch, Ph.D. Helicopter parenting in a nutshell. It's like codependent parenting, but with cool rotor...
