Goldfish is not trying to get you banned. I don’t think he dislikes you.

He’s just sort of like my brother. He can be sort of a jerk—but sometimes he gives sensible advice.

I don’t think the electric bicycle would be optimal, though. A scooter would be better.

I very highly doubt that the state of Oregon requires a motorcycle licence for an electric bicycle. Link for proof or I'm considering it more fake news just like the other lies and exaggerations in this thread.

Anything above a 50cc engine requires a motorcycle license In Oregon.

I don’t find riding an electric bicycle on a busy street to be safe.

Same as here. So, like I said, more fake news.

How is riding an electric bicycle any less safe than riding a regular bicycle, scooter, or motorcycle? :? People do these things safely every day.

goldfish, u are an intelligent man. i saw u say and post wonderful things. why dont u just... stop fighting? this is not a case for crusade. even if u are correct, sly has a right to just.not.want.to.have.a.f*****g.bycicle. to just.f*****g.want.to.use.a.bus. and he has a right to complain about it too. his routines are risking breakage. he is upset. there is no point, no use and no reason in upsetting him further. choices u'd make are not universal. u've been heard. please stop.

Well, that was particularly rude. Even for someone on the spectrum.

Feel free to offer up alternative solutions to sly’s transportation problem if you have something of value to say. It’d be much better than spewing unnecessary attacks at me, IMO.

Sly, this may be an obvious question but have you told the bus company about your concerns? I know you are only one voice and it's hard to stand up to the big corporations, but I think it's worth a try. Maybe write a letter if you aren't comfortable talking to them in person. Tell them the livelihood of your family depends on it.

The only other solution I can think besides a bicycle (which seems impractical) would be Uber Share, if there are other people going the same direction. Sharing cuts the cost significantly. You don't have to go right to the door of work / home. You can get out of the car earlier than your stop and walk the last little ways to save money.

No one wants you banned, Sly. We're just trying to help you because we care.

I know I'm scared to ride a bike or motorcycle, to be honest. I find the worst vehicles, actually, are mopeds or "electric bikes." It's not because I'm a coward. It's because I want to live.

Especially on big intersections on major US routes. I can understand riding a bike or a motorcycle on less-used roads. But Sly lives in a populated area, and the US Routes really aren't suitable for bikes, in my opinion.

There are some people with autism who have problems with spatial things. I am one of them. I will never set foot on a motorcycle---ever. I rode to work on a bike a few times. I was hit by a car once.

It worse if it's an actual freeway.

Actually, going back through this thread I can’t find any post where Sly has asked for transportation advice.

He seemingly is using this Haven posting to express his concerns about losing his usual transportation to and from work. Haven is a “special “ support section. It’s odd that your method of support includes calling him a liar and you berating others who are asking you to lighten up. Sly has asked specifically that YOU leave him alone. I know that no one owns a thread and everyone is free to post on any thread, but it’s my understanding from moderator posts that if someone asks another member to not address them, we are supposed to honour that.

just the fact, that sometimes the 2 of u dont see eye to eye, doesnt mean everything he does has malignant intent
also, hugs. relax. maybe its an olive branch?)


He pushes me and pushes me until I snap then reports me. Mods have told him in past to stop, I’ve been directed to ignore him and I try hard to.

I did the survey and write answers but then they emailed me day ago saying sorry your answers were lost. :roll:

If other people worked my shift and lived out here I’d have rides. But most don’t as they work 6-8 hour shifts. I work 4 hour shifts. And lately the guy who gave me rides home schedule doesn’t line up as he leaves at 7:30 and I work til 9.
