The existence of littered bottles found along major highways tells a different story. Nobody throws out that many bottles of orange crush.

I use the non-e-bike version of these (socialbicycles.com) on a regular basis and it works quite well. Bikes have GPS, a GSM radio, and are geo-fenced, with a recovery fee charged if you lock outside the zone. My system is quasi-dock based with small geo-fenced hubs within the service area where locking is free, and a small fee ($1)for locking off-hub. People do free-lock or leave them in weird areas, but usually if they intend on using it again.

Paranoid much?

In a world where someone will steal your account if you so much as look the other way, this is a good thing?

Because paying taxes is for chumps.

Tell us more about those fees... You want your transaction to happen when?

Replace corrupt monetary policy with corrupt money. Flawless.

I think the difference here is a company building a community rather than a community building around a company.

A modern example of the latter is visible in the municipalities clamouring to accommodate Amazon. Time will tell if that one ends in another broken city.

And it didn't even come by way of Russia.

Our PM doesn't name and shame them on twitter, and they don't get involved in elections. Is that so weird?

Now we're getting somewhere. Given that these factors are multiplied with automobiles, shouldn't all vehicle speeds be limited so? I am a firm believer that everything should be limited to 30km/h in urban and residential environments where pedestrian and vehicle traffic coexist.

Nowhere near it. Electronic shifting provides no motive power and is still manually controlled by the rider.

Other than your damaged pride, is this a problem?

The Elon Musk Reality Distortion Field is proving to be as effective as the one surrounding Steve Jobs (praise be unto him.)

Can confirm. I spotted a plane towing an Amazon banner over my city on Prime day.

Twitch. Not for hours viewed but because they seemingly have a lock on their corner of the market. That Youtube has spent so much on game streaming, and still failing, is a sign that competition exists.

I would never log my daily 3km ride to work in Strava, and I've had it count my after work singletrack romps as commutes. How strava thinks it can be a good source of commuter data is beyond me.

Deep lake cooling is used in Toronto, Canada, though not widespread, and is offered by a private company. http://enwavetoronto.com/district_cooling_system.html
