Damn it you know how much effort I spend riding around Atlanta on my bicycle throwing nails everywhere to try to make driving as miserable as possible to discourage cars?

You are fighting for the wrong team, bicycle guy.

Hey! Those nails could end up in the bike lane...

It’s ok I asked the wizards that cast the spells to magically repel driving cars and opening car doors from penetrating into the safe region of a bike lane to include nails in their spell too and they agreed.

Jokes on you -- I use non-magnetic brass nails when I drop them on the road in Atlanta.

Yeah, magnets won't do much for aluminum nails either

I'm pretty sure "aluminum nails" aren't a thing -- at least not one you can get at Home Depot.

[–] Cort 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're for aluminum siding and yes you can get them at Home Depot

Uno reverse card: He made a sweeper too!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

if he put the magnetic cart in front he would get less flats, too.

and now he has made a bicycle powered street sweeper for glass ?

rock'en!

It's harder to push than pull though, and I imagine that's a big deal of he's doing this a lot

It's even more badass than you might think: this guy isn't doing it in the actual City of Atlanta; he's doing it in Cobb County, which is one of the least bike-friendly suburbs.

What a bad ass
