All I want is to travel like a chaotic wizard on wheels instead of a cursed meatbag on a multi-transfer nightmare route. Help me fund an e-bike and I’ll alchemize that safety into strange, shiny games.

As 2024 kicked off, there was still a lingering EV buzz in the air, albeit quieter than before. As the year draws to a close, it’s safe to say that buzz is more of a whisper. Read about the biggest transportation flops of the year, from @Techcrunch:

“Fast Times” Van, Valley Relics Museum, Van Nuys, California

We finally made it over to the Valley Relics Museum (https://valleyrelicsmuseum.org/), even though it is just “up the street” from where we live. There were a lot of great artifacts including a huge neon sign collection. Check it out when you are at a loss for something to do in the San Fernando Valley.

While taking this photo, I was a bit in awe how the traffic lights in this corner were bright enough to light up the street. You can see a sneak peak of Belfast's signature busses from Translink.
