Nice information, everyone! I discovered it! Behold, probably the most ironically-named road in America:
Significantly, it’s known as “Independence” and also you’re not even allowed to trip a bicycle there? Getting a ticket for using a bicycle on a road known as “Independence” can be much more ironic than getting busted for prostitution on the nook of Seaman and Cumming:
So why had been bicycles banned on Independence Avenue in Shamokin, PA, within the first place? Effectively, I suppose they had been afraid somebody would possibly discover their means there on a bicycle and store:
However that was then, and now it sounds just like the cyclists could also be a bit of too independently-minded:
Wait, he clotheslined a child?!” They actually buried the lede there! That’s a juicy little bit of gossip to say the least, but I regarded up “Councilman Mike Duganitz Clotheslines Space Youth” and bought no outcomes.
Plus, it will get much more ironic as a result of Independence Avenue intersects with Liberty Avenue:
Granted, I haven’t really been to Shamokin, however I did take a bit of digital cruise down Independence Avenue and I didn’t get the sense that bicycles would precisely plunge it into chaos:
Like, would it not actually be so dangerous if somebody bought a wild hair and determined to trip a motorbike to The Enjoyable Zone?
Or Coney Island Lunch?
Or the Verilife hashish dispensary?
Wait a minute.
Somebody opened a hashish dispensary in Shamokin, PA and didn’t name it Smokin’ Shamokin?!?
That might be just like the native pizza joint not promoting Shamokin Sizzling Wings–which, fortunately, they do:
Whew, I used to be beginning to fear.
Oh, and you realize what Shamokin means?
Effectively if you happen to guessed “Place of Eels” you’re appropriate:
My horizons have already broadened significantly and I haven’t even left the sofa.
Talking of Hungary, I discussed it briefly in yesterday’s publish, which bought me fascinated about customized bikes once more:
This in flip prompted a spherical of introspection. Whereas all of us could have had an excellent snort, there however for the grace of Lob go I, and what’s the distinction between ordering a customized Mosaic full with mildly invasive becoming session and, say, shopping for a Rivendell? Effectively, in a single sense, there’s not likely a distinction in any respect. For instance, in each circumstances you’re going to wind up with a chunk of wooden between your legs:
Additionally, is there actually a significant distinction between this…
…and this?
Positive, to us bike dorks there’s, however to the typical particular person the 2 middle-aged hobbyists above are utterly interchangeable and equally self-indulgent, and regular individuals are considering (or sometimes even shouting) the very same obscenities at each of us after they see us from behind the wheel of their Hyundais.
Effectively, okay, high-quality, I suppose there’s one minor distinction, but it surely solely quantities to MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. The value on that Mosiac was properly over $17,000 enjoyable tickets (he stated they “blew the unique complete price range of £14,000 out of the water”), which suggests you might purchase your self 4 Rivendae as a substitute and stroll away with change:
Not that any person who desires a customized Mosaic goes to vary their thoughts and get a Rivendell as a substitute, but it surely does put issues in perspective.
