Posted in: How high do you think tennis player Kei Nishikori, currently ranked No. 5, can go in world rankings? See in context

Shutting down third-party repair shops, forcing users to go through their own (more expensive) repair service.

Sad, I hope people understand now why wear headphones are bad idea when riding. They restrict one of your abilities to detect danger; you should have all senses available when on your bike.

Saying "foreigner" has the same negative connotation as saying "outsider". They would've been fine with just "Welcome!" on their sign.
