I definitely wasn't racing my bicycle. cool story, though. I was out with the kids on a leisure bike ride. I was riding a beach cruiser with forward & aft fenders, my big foot hit the front fender basically acted like a brake sending me flying. Landed on my shoulder hard! Hit my head almost knocked me out 😆
I grew up with a royce union bicycle that looked like rocky balboas bike and was a brick.... thanks for the bike dad, you cheap ass. Anyway from your intro I'm assuming you didn't pass the inspection 😮😮
Oh no, I passed inspection 100%. The real problem was why I had to do them in the first place. There's a process to waive testing if there has been testing nearby that would be similar. The evil "say no at any cost" inspector said no to our waiver letter (even though she violated policy), I had to charge the owner thousands to do testing that came up with the exact same numerical results as the waiver letter. Same results, but the owner is $3000 lighter with drilling and testing and several weeks later on the calendar. That's why housing is unaffordable in this state. Fully 1/3 the cost of a new home is government fees and compliance regulations.
@@Dr_Jet oh now I understand. Well I guess that's why they drive new vehicles and the rest drive 25 year old vehicles. One of the things I hated the most living in California was that every year I had to get a smog test and it would cost $300 or more. Every year. That was a rip off too.
@@jimstone5339 Yep, I'm still driving my 2001 Durango. Just hit 200,000 a few weeks ago. There's a net outflow of population from California, even with all the illegal border crossings coming in. High taxes and regulations is a major motivator in that outflow.
God has a way of humbling the proud 💯👍
