Earth Day, turn those amps OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@macg19 They are fixing one road - and made the 2 lanes and one bike lane into one, on a section on less than 300 yards. There is a big sign with a bicycle on it saying SHARE THE ROAD placed at every 100 yards.

Still, when I bike on it as carefully and humbly as possible, I get drivers screaming at me that this road is closed for bikers and they also drive by me at 55 mph (35 mph zone) inches from me. I would avoid this road for my physical and mental health but this is a connecting road through the canyon. 

Big problem selfish idiots will kill me some day and I may be much better off dead than suffering from their destructions day in, day out. That doesn't solve much for my kids though. 

@parkergetdean That is disappointing to say the least. Mountain biking is way safer; injuries are almost always self-inflicted. 

Here in Davis (the town symbol is the penny-farthing..calling Patrick Mcgoohan In "The Prisoner" ..... alas not) we have loads of bike paths, bike lanes and bike rotary's. Really. Yes sir re Bobby.

Lately scooters and electric bikes (that are motor cycles to me) are all over the blinkity blank place and on the paths. It's a problem. They are fast. Too fast. It’s light’s out when they hit you. Are the “riders” sometimes texting? Yah sure you betcha.

How does this tie in with responsible conservation Uncle @elliottbnewcombjr  Earth Day post hoping for us all with our beloved sound bath set ups to save a few kilowatts and better love our mother? It's related because these are not cars but are used for transportation and pollute less. 

Dear Diary My amps are now warmed up. Gotta go. More woolgatherings later.

Short-time Lurker-   You all crack me up.  I’m so glad I joined this forum.  Mostly good natured comments with the occasional well thought out but not mean snark.  Entertaining and educational.  What more could a guy want.  

I have never left my equipment on before.  But thanks to this post, I've investigated and found out how much better the sound quality is and how it can improve longevity on some equipment.  I'm sold !  Leaving it on .  Thanks for posting.
