Yes, bikes are an assumed risk. Former teammate was killed in Tennessee last week when he was hit by someone running from the cops. Mitigate risk as much as you can but there is only so much you can do. I ride off the road more than on it these days.

Charleston is full. Too many northeast transplants and it’s not even the same city it was 4 years ago. Long term staple restaurants are closing up shop due to increased rent and these Ny/NJ investor groups are coming in and buying and changing the locations to the newest “faux inspired bs” restaurants that will fail within a year. It’s still a great city with a lot to offer for being so small, but it’s on its way to becoming another dull city overrun with chain stores and over commercialization. Nevermind the growing traffic and parking issues. Local leaders have done nothing to improve the infrastructure with the heavy influx of folks.


raleigh area is the same way. cool when we moved here, talking about our next move more and more lately

No not at all, you and I were discussing that particular view (who will care for you, etc.) and my response about Christmas/beach were a specific retort (personal to me) on that thinking. And then two other posters responded to that, so I was clarifying.


Bro nobody is arguing with you. I made a lighthearted comment. Jeez

For me, it's more like "what will Christmas morning look like at 40/45/etc. without kids?" or "what will our beach vacations look like if they never have little kids in them?"


our christmas mornings and beach vacations are fricking awesome :dunno:

Mid 40’s, good careers, no kids. We have our reasons and are totally comfortable with our choices. We have the same amount of friends with kids as without. Everyone seems happy. Live your life

does not read like there is a middle ground. i wonder if some states will move to legalize hemp now. this is all gotten pretty silly with regulated mj and completely unregulated hemp. gonna be hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
