Explain how my 5’3” daughter or my 5’5” wife can get their bikes off and on ceiling hooks unassisted. Or even how easy it would be for me to do it with two cars parked underneath.

The point isn’t to just store the bikes - it’s for everyone in the family to have ready and easy access to them multiple times a week.

I like how immediately defensive you are about your bike storage.

You’re right. Nobody has ever figured this out and it is too significant a challenge. Best to leave the bikes sitting in your garage and your car outside to get hailed on.

The app works a lot better than the website does. I use the map view. You can scroll around and it updates showing the prices in the view of the map, and you can filter by brand.

With a step stool or ladder. You'd only need like a 2 foot step ladder at most in most garages unless your garage is like 12 feet high.

I like how you follow me around in threads sticking your nose in and making snarky remarks. Or PM me (and other posters) to get in pissing matches.

Touch grass. Get a hobby. Nobody who’s happy IRL goes to that much effort to antagonize and make digs at dozens of strangers online dozens of times a week.

“Touch grass” from the guy who thinks someone posting in the same thread as them is following them around and is still hung up on us exchanging PMs two and a half years ago.

Sounds like a bit of projection Cliff. You OK buddy? You need me to come figure out how to store a bike for you big guy?

You are genuinely one of the most condescending posters on any forums I've ever participated in, and likely a huge reason a lot of people don't bother posting here anymore. Like, you realize you don't have to be a giant dick about everything, right?

Boring story. The founder of gas buddy (Toews) bought the very prominently used GIS platform Abadata. Great software Abadata is.

He really mostly does this to Cliff. It's not a great look. My general advice is if you have a deep contempt for someone on this board is to put them on ignore or at least act like they don't exist, rather than doing the opposite to engage with them at every possible opportunity, but when has Pepsi ever taken my advice.

My way is more fun though.

I wish that there was a "purge day" on CP where we created a Thunderdome thread and the mods agreed that for 24 hours that you could really tell posters what you thought of them with no consequences.

By Pepsi’s own admission he has PM flame wars with loads of posters. He’s the most antagonist poster in the history of this forum, and back when mods upheld the forum rules on personal attacks he was in the sin bin more often than he had posting privileges.

And I realize that this post is just feeding the troll. Like all trolls, Pepsi revels in conflict and attention. But let’s be clear that the issue isn’t Pepsi vs me. It’s Pepsi vs dozens and dozens of posters over the years.

Meh, he's not even the worst one though. At one point we had a community here, where people could have conversations and disagree like adults. Things have changed though.

It was always a GasBuddy sitebbut it had a simpler design and had all the information I required without the need for any extra input or navigation. The list in your link isn't sortable and doesn't list every station, but it looks about as close as I'm going to get. Thanks.

Must have been before I joined, trolls seemed even worse when I was new.

Granted most of them are still here just with new accounts

I’ve only ever received one infraction and the vast majority of PMs I’ve initiated over the past couple of years are me reaching out to people who have posted messages saying they’re struggling, or me thanking people for kind posts, or me and other posters laughing at some of the insane things people here say. It’s not me vs dozens and dozens, there’s just a small group of bullies, some better at hiding behind decorum than others, that I have no problem balancing the scales on.

I mean, there’s one person in the discussion that has mocked me for being upset at being told to kill myself, called me mentally challenged, and mocks my mental health regularly. Know anyone like that, Cliff? They kind of sound like a bully, huh?
