      I’m shocked their tablets have access to anything but what they need for work. There’s no reason it should but plenty why it shouldn’t.

    I really like this article format and hope to see more of it. It is stating the facts, outlining it in easy chunks for average American, but doesn’t include any flourishes that tell the reader how to feel about it or how the author feels about it.

    I used to ride so much in California, over 3000 miles actually, but have only managed three rides in close to a decade in Vermont because the roads don’t feel nearly as safe, despite having only a tiny fraction of the traffic. There’s just no room on most roads out here for bikes, they’re nearly all just two lanes with no shoulder with blind corner after blind corner.
