@Axtremus I dont want to diminish that guys talent, but the "hyperbole" seems a bit too much. For me at least, it was good, but did not "blow my mind!!!!!!!" LOL

- Possessing a satellite phone or Global Positioning System (GPS) device in India is illegal and can result in fines, detention, or arrest."

The GPS ban is surprising. Pretty sure there are like a billion smartphones in India that have GPS receivers which technically makes them GPS devices.

Not to me it isn’t. You’re just so vulnerable. The slightest contact can be fatal, especially if you fall toward the road

The 50mi from the Bronx to Brewster used to be the Putnam Railroad, in service from 1881-1958. I get it at Ardsley, less than a mile from my house. I can take it up 40mi to Brewster or down about 12.5 to Van Courtland Park in the Bronx without leaving paved trail.
Further south I’m maybe a mile or three on roads until I get to the trail along the west side highway that takes me to lower manhattan.
Up north there’s a few miles of road at Brewster until I’m on trail again for another 50 miles to New Palz.
Plenty, in other words.

Bikes are 10 times more dangerous than cars? Surprising.
I think that stat is a bit misleading, since bikes are a lot slower than cars. Arguably a better statistic is deaths per time spent traveling.

I think 40% of those deaths are cardiac associated from Lycra cutting off blood flow.

Meh… Not sure that I care for them forcefully stopping a stolen car in the middle of a busy highway like that.
