Those planters in the middle of the bike lane are bike-traffic calming. Gotta keep bike speeds slow when you're that close to pedestrians and doggos

Second generation FIRE in the making. My daughter just sent me this. $100k in index funds by age 19. She graduated HS a year early then finished her bachelors in 1.5 years, and graduated college at 18. Worked a year and shoveled almost all her $ into index funds.
