I was biking near the queens zoo today, and adjusting the pedal-assist all the way up to 4 (which I never do). Thinking to myself, "Jesus fuck, is this headwind really that strong or is this heat just making me weak?"
I look over at the sidewalk, and someone is walking backwards to deal with the wind. "Oh, it's actually the headwind."

Processing 4-month-old biking video, to clear a little room out on my laptop. Sigh.

Are bikes DEI, or are they a miracle? (Or both?)

The most useful thing I did this week was appear on Ezra Klein’s New York Times podcast to talk about the rise of clean energy. He framed the story well, and asked generous and sharp questions, and my only regret is that I was too jacked up going in (this is one of the very few remaining real forums in American journalism) and so I think I interrupted him at several points when I just…

I wonder if the amount of money I save from biking instead of driving is offset by the amount of money I spend on cycling gear. 🚲 🤷‍♀️ 💰

Graham Petersen is known for his unconventional opinions about bikes.
He is 68 and fit, only lightly flecked with age in a way that implies decades spent riding underneath the California sunshine.
He’s thoughtful and deliberate in speech, with a uniform of cuffed, baggy pants, sandals with straps, and a visor with mussed hair spiking out of the top.
His thoughts, many of which he espoused in a 2012 book called

This Bike Company Launched a Black Reparations Program. Then the Lawyers Called.
Rivendell Bicycle Works built a loyal following by ignoring convention. But what happens when good intentions spark public outrage in a country divided?

I’m not all that competitive a person but work starts a monthly biking/steps challenge and the urbanist within takes over

I set the alarm to 6am and we started at 7am. My wife cycled a small morning loop (like 45min) and I did a bit larger loop to test the 30 tooth Sprocket on longer climbs.
*Learnings today:*
- mosquitos can be a real motivator to push harder
- the sprocket feels good
- the #garmin incident detection works
- 1st aid kit is a good investment
- good medical coverage in …

The bike lane is a great place to store these barrels when the speed limit is 35mph and cars tend to go 40 mph.
Last night I said "screw it" and used the sidewalk. I am against biking on the sidewalk (and it's illegal here) but if the provided (crappy) infrastructure isn't even available I'll do it.

So G20 is coming to #manchester next year - and the Tour de France has a stage going through it as well - I wonder if they overlaps; can we have the leaders of the G20 biking the route?

Trump cut down all the remaining cherry trees in Washington
that were a gift from Japan in 1912
The trees were cut down without approval, to build a golf course, along the Potomac biking & running pathways.

Trees are coming down by the dozen as Trump’s D.C. golf makeover nears
The president’s promised overhaul of the East Potomac course has not officially begun, but tree removal has already been taking place for weeks.

Here's the only close call w/ another bike in the last 20 years of biking; if I had not braked hard, we might have collided. There's maybe a second of slack between when I could have first seen her, my known reaction time (0.6s), & the time it takes to decelerate at half a G from 17mph to stopped (0.5G is about max for a bicycle).

I biked 6 miles this morning. Felt pretty good. My back didn’t seem to mind… I did have a little knee pain at one point. (Which is one of the reasons I switched to an ebike.)
I may wait a bit to try biking to work, especially since it’s supposed to be 90 °F next week. 😭

I'm a little behind in my biking this year due to the whole spine/nerve pain for the first half of the year.
But there is a chance I could still hit 1,000 miles this year. Here's hoping!

Some of the storm damage I saw biking to work today. This is in my neighborhood about five blocks from my house.
#milwaukee

I'm sure that years ago if I had been driving to work and saw someone biking in the rain I'd be like "Oh man, that sucks for them" but honestly I'm surprised how exhilarating it is. Is it actually kind of... fun? Hmmm.
I'm sure I'll change my tune when it's colder out, but I do have the rain gear at the ready.

Why is the Trump administration calling bike lanes ‘DEI’?

Yesterday's route where I almost got it right going home... The route home is easier as I make a right turn instead of left turn and I can wait until there's a break in traffic before I head onto Mayfair Road.
#bikeTooter #mke #milwaukee

This is the shortest route to work I've biked yet... It's not ideal as I need to go about a half block on Mayfair Road, then turn left onto Hampton and get into the bike lane on the right side, but good to know I have this route if I need it.

I got my first aggressive "honk" while biking to work!
On a two lane road, speed limit 25mph, I was in the right lane going about 24mph and a van got behind me and the driver honked. I could not move to the right due to too many parked cars and not wanting to get doored.
The van driver seemed angry they could not get passed me as a truck was in the left lane.
Eventually they passed me (while speeding) and honked again!
Whatever dude.

Now if I want to reference a ride I can easily do so.
Like yesterday, where we tried to get to the Scrappy Hour BBQ but two flat tires stopped us, so we gave up and headed back to Tosa.
