I smelled the sweet scent of woodchips around these newly planted shrubs and trees along car-free Overlook Dr in GGP. Looks like a toyon among others

Work on the approximately $26.45 million 
San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project in Goleta began last week.
The 3-mile path will serve as a direct link from Calle Real to Old Town businesses, and the Atascadero Creek Bikeway that also allows access to Goleta Beach Park, UC Santa Barbara and the city of Santa Barbara.
The path is set to be completed by spring 2027

Construction Beginning on San Jose Creek Multipurpose Path Project in Goleta
Lovers of the outdoors can get excited, construction for a new path for biking, running or walking is underway in Goleta. Work on the approximately $26.45

Just biking home the other day. I think I'm supposed to be more alarmed at this, but given that I handled it with yards to spare, I'm not sure this was really a problem: https://vimeo.com/1140994018?fl=pl&fe=sh
Note that I was only going 12mph, and my fingers were resti…

I started biking to work in August and it's now the end of November and I've done it 50 times in those 4 months.
That's 50 days I rode a bike instead of driving a car... about 650 miles by bike instead of car.

"S.F.’s Union Square comeback is taking shape — despite two major question marks"
Somehow neither of them is the complete lack of bike parking anywhere near the block-wide 7-story Macy's. Biking to and around Union Square sucks.

Madison Bikes sent me an email about winter biking that said:
"Please at least have a studded front tire, especially if you bike on streets. Traction and control are well worth the $50 investment."
So I replied and asked where the heck they are seeing studded tires for $50 USD because they are twice that price everywhere I look.

We just attended another travel show. This time: #mountainbiking in #ligurien from Harald Philipp.
The visuals were pretty cool. And riding such trails UPHILL was pretty impressive, too. Definitely only doable with an ebike.

I wonder if you can get "outriggers" for winter biking (like training wheels but they are skis?)

I'm at Union station in DC and I just watched some rando bike right through the open door into the station on a bike share bike and just keep biking through the station.
Like, okay, not great.
Then 20mins later I watched two cops (uscp, capitol police) on bikes bike through the door into the station and do the same thing. So I guess it's just a thing that people do here?

Downtown Fake London (Ontario) is weird. Some of it is exactly the automobile-infested hell that @… routinely describes. But there's still quite a few people out here walking and biking in spite of the inhospitable conditions.
There's some recently-built protected cycle tracks that make me wish I could bring a bicycle here on Via and toot around for an afternoon of coffee shops. The network is super not-complete though. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I did a lot of stretching and used the massage gun this morning to deal with the sciatica and felt pretty much fine when it was time to leave for work, so I biked in.
A bit cold, but no wind, so that's good. I keep a log of temperature and wind and what I wore for my rides to work so I can check back if I was too cold/too warm, etc.
I'll see my PT tomorrow for the sciatica so no biking into work.

#libreoffice bugs can be quite fun; they often have slide decks and documents attached which don't quite work. One I just fixed was from a Biker group, with a morbid slide on what members had died from - showing most weren't from biking - alas a numbered list screwup had 12 bee sting deaths instead of 1 (among other problems)

Let the People Decide: Give Us a Vote on Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have flooded San Francisco’s streets, raising serious safety and traffic concerns for residents, pedestrians, animal advocates, and local businesses. In 2025 alone, both Waymo and Zoox recalled over 1,200 vehicles due to crash risks. AVs have also blocked emergency vehicles, caused traffic jams, and created dangerous situations for people walking, biking, and driving. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft already made traffic worse, accounting for about half th…

“Many AVs are electric, but the metals and minerals used to build them often come from environmentally harmful mining operations that damage communities—especially Indigenous communities—and ecosystems abroad.”
