Riding in the suburbs for me is actually a bit worse than riding amongst farmland and woods. I don't mind so much on roads that are quiet, but once I get between someone living in a suburban wasteland and that one main entrance to the high-speed road that their housing estate connects to... some people go a little bit crazy.

As for e-bikes? Go for it! I still have yet to try one, but there may come a time that I take the dive. Even if I don't in the near future, I'll be old someday and undoubtedly still want to go out biking.

The jealousy is real. I've seen a few cargo bikes (though not the classic bakfiets) in my area, and I'd love one.

Ouch. I do pick up enough beer cans (and liquor/wine bottles) along the side of my commute route to be worried about the state of the drivers on the road. I usually commute in to work around 04:00 and come home around 14:30, so thankfully I don't encounter too many people swerving or driving erratically.

The worst I've gotten is people being angry that I'm "in the way," and it also doesn't help that some people associate bicycling with being poor or losing one's driver's license... meaning that sympathy from those people is very limited.

Lots and lots of bicycle communities are popping back up over here on Lemmy. Loving it. I started !bicycling, but there are plenty more. I love !bikecommuting so far, too.

Nice! I was not. :D

We haven't played that since back at camp!

Never had it. I was already tempted to come to the Netherlands to see some of the urban infrastructure (I'm a nerd), but now I'll have to add the pizza to the list of things to look at and try if I ever go.

I love making my own veggie burgers. I've tried the Beyond burgers. They're okay, but the homemade ones are still really good and much, much cheaper.

I know what you mean. Not quite fishy per se, but something sort of similar. I have good memories associated with it. :3

Ooh, yes... eggplant. I've been craving some Eggplant Parmesan. Or maybe I'll put fried eggplant into my next Indian dish. I've made pho, but have limited experience with it.

Woo! An alternative to /r/vegan! Hello all, and welcome to Lemmy. I'm brand new too. Let's see how this goes.
