@@occommuter when I worked there they had the entry way to the courts with all the flags filled with tents. Closed the library. Opened the bus station as a shelter
@@RoaringRanger whoa that’s crazy, that’s an awesome looking library, I haven’t been in there yet but definitely want to check it out, they are forcing the homeless into less visible areas, I’ve seen them literally forcing them off of main street areas with the junk trucks etc, they don’t stay at the park on flower street anymore, they’re set up at the tracks big time and the santiago creek bed
Im telling you man you put on one of those propeller hats on you can go faster, its like a gyrocopter, could also stabilize you while you ride lol jk. On a more serious note I was looking at vespas tho, they get really good mpgs theyre designed for this and they have storage and go highway speed, also quiet and comfortable and they cost as much as an e bike new, could be good to look at.
@@occommuter I was watching videos of people taking them off road with little campers, but yeah I never really ride around on my bike with stuff on me on a bike you made a good point there that the weight on that is a lot on the back tire, never put much thought that with stuff its a lot less maneuverable and harder to pedal, I easily go fast on a non ebike with just my own power. A vespa is definitely more suitable, that would be cool if they made a version you can just drive on the sidewalks like that e bike, or can you already?
@@richardjohnson8009 In some areas, for example, Santa Ana, you could probably get away with riding on the sidewalk. If anything happens to this ebike I will likely be riding a regular bicycle until I figure out how to replace it. When I first started riding to work I was thinking it would be cool to make videos of this commute riding random bikes or whatever. A $20 bike from a yard sale, a kids bike, a onewheel, a bmx, etc. But acquiring all of these methods is the challenge.
Santa Ana - The Home of the Homeless
yes indeed, I counted around 70 on my ride to work the other day and that was just on my route

Haha thanks, I can probably modify one for my helmet, I just checked out some Vespas, very cool they even have electric ones too.
