I see these every time a bicycle path intersects with any kind of car or train infrastructure. It just seems really patronizing, as if we're not capable of slowing down without getting off the bike; it also shifts responsibility onto the cyclists if there is a crash based on something arbitrary (mounted vs dismounted).

I once went over the handlebars when I hit one of these. The sign was less of an ask and more of a demand.

    I'm in the market for a good angle grinder. How do you feel about Bauer? Spiritually I'm Bausch but economically I'm Dewalt.

    Ah, I am always happy to talk to a fellow angle-grinder enthusiast. I've had too many Dewalt bushings go bad--they're a false economy, enshittified to make line go up.

    For me, Milwaukee is that sweet spot for value and quality.

    I hope to be an enthusiast soon enough, it's one of the major tools missing from my workbench. Milwaukee -is- pretty good, and I already have the battery packs.

    But after working with a shipwright who had all Bausch tools I've been spoiled.

    Cut down many signs?

    Makita is what my family uses. A bit cheaper than Milwaukee and has served my family very well.
