Imagine trying to advertise anything on the Fediverse 🌚

However this only made Mojeek more appealing

You’re 100% right, I corrected the title, thank you

Judge reverses herself, allowing Northville to close downtown streets this summer after all

That’s good news, however it’s not like other opposing businesses owner doesn’t have a point

Specialty retail stores in the city’s downtown area seem to be doing OK, she noted. Those like hers, who sell clothing or other goods that can be found in many other locations, are not.

“Nobody asked us if we wanted closures,” Kauffman said. “Nobody came and talked to our business about what it would mean for us. Nobody’s supplementing my rent to make up for the losses that I have because I’m paying rent based on 30,000 to 60,000 cars a day. That’s the part that upsets me the most.”

I mean, I live in Europe but specifically in Italy, not exactly the ruling country in the field of walkable and carless road systems, so I get that people living in USA are extremely disadvantaged in this sense, but exactly because I live in Italy I also understand what it means when an authority makes chances that are good on paper but very badly executed in reality, that’s why I honestly can’t blame completely the people who disagreed with the closure

However I really hope they will be able to keep the neighbourhoods closed and safe in the end, but complaints needs to be listened and the people struggles acknowledged

That’s interesting, I never heard of that. The thing is at the moment my bike commuting is extremely rare, just recently I started to ride around both for health reasons and because I simply enjoy it a lot.

But still, they seem indeed something to consider. What surprises me is that I supposed I needed to get a bike which is lighter than the one I’m riding (an old B’twin bike that someone gave to me), but maybe I was wrong

There is a caption under the picture, it says

But yeah, you’re totally right, the one described in the article is usually the best case scenario, the reality is even more problematic than that

Well I imagined their website was enough to get the context of the question. I heard about Jolla from a random Fediverse post so I went straight to just search its name eventually finding their website I just wanted to know if they sucked 🙃
