tkdguy Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Here's my set of COBRA miniatures Let me know if you have trouble viewing the photos. I had some difficulty sharing the album earlier, as Flickr is no longer as user-friendly to nonmembers as it used to be.

Duke Bushido Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Okay, this is nowhere near as neat or cool or interesting as most anything in this thread.

Lord Liaden Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I disagree. "Neat" in no way excludes "practical" or "useful," and that's all three. Duke Bushido 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Think of-- well, I have no idea where you live, other than "Canada," which is pretty vague (you sneaky Canadian devil, you ). I live in a --- well, let's say that our big annual event around here is the harvest-related "Onion Festival," and leave it at that. Don't get me wrong: I grew up more rural than this, but today, this is as close as I can find anywhere in the lower 48. But imagine a metropolitan area (I've seen them in movies ) filled with steps and porches that let directly onto the sidewalk. Now imagine each of the uprights on those posts being air pumps! How much more practical would bicycle travel become, instantly? What effect would it have on traffic, parking, and air quality? Sadly, we'll likely never know, because if it happened in the western world, they'd be coin operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I suppose you're right. But it could just be a matter of legislating a mandate for them in new construction or renovations, like wheelchair accessibility in public buildings. BTW I've lived most of my life in metropolitan areas upwards of a million population, and currently abide in the vicinity of the fourth-largest city in North America, so my reference points are mostly very urban.

Zeropoint Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 In downtown Portland, Oregon, there are a decent number of pump & tool stations for bicyclists. Not "every doorstep" but they're around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 We have a few pumps operated by the municipality scattered around. Free to use, of course -- this is a social democrat-run place, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
