DEAR EVERYONE who is using AI to crank out words for posting: NO, you're not getting away with it. It reads like crap, and immediately switches your readers/viewers/customers to the OFF position. IF YOU HAPPEN TO RUN AN INDY BIKE SHOP or a BAKERY or BICYCLE FACTORY and are re-posting AI slop sent to you by your vendors/ad firms, that's no excuse. At least half your staff are underemployed poets/playwrights who can create solid copy. LET THEM HAVE AT IT – USING PENCIL and NOTEBOOK, to be safe.

Here at we call this a “Chippy” tire… this Marathon has plenty of tread left, but it’s accumulated lots of small cuts—these can hold sharp things and give ‘em extra chances to pe*****te the kevlar belt inside the tire. Once a tire gets Chippy, plan to replace it! (We keep at least three styles of tires for Bromptons stocked at all times.)

About 10:30 pm. 6/2/26 — Eastbound cyclist on her pedelec bike,coming off South Street Bridge in bike lane; motorist waiting on 27th St decides to drive straight across against red and collides. Driver turns onto Schuylkill Ave. , waits a moment to check that rider able to move, then takes off, according to some on the scene, adding that rider was able to talk in the ambulance. THIS is the intersection that plans to send 500 more cars+shuttle buses through TWICE A DAY. •• Dear : CAR-BRAIN IS CURABLE. •••

Anyone SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) insiders have the scoop on why SEPTA'S G (Girard Ave) trolleys are mostly replaced by buses? Spoke with a SEPTA guy who didn't know of any large street works along the route ... but the https://septa-g-trolley-tracker.netlify.app/ has been showing Bus Only nearly every day, esp. on weekends. Planning an ad hoc trolley linear event ("Meet Me on the G" or some such)... but can't plan it if trolleys keep being no-shows.

Track vintage PCC trolley cars on SEPTA Route G (Girard Line) in real-time. Plan your trip to catch a 1940s streetcar in Philadelphia.
