In the 1980s as railroads abandoned thousands of miles of track following deregulation,
Congress provided for “#railbanking,” seeking to preserve rail corridors while allowing for interim use as trails.
Today, there are nearly 26,000 miles of rail-trails in the U.S., according to RTC.

The Active Communities Plan isn't dead but is now the Biking and Rolling plan and has been delayed "to be responsive to community needs." It will seek to find ways "goals can be reworked to focus on vibrancy, economic vitality and thriving communities." #BikeSF

heeyyy! Finally Friday and I'm still reviewing a couple of photos from last weeks hiking days ... I'm falling a little bit behind!
Anyways: I just wanted to share this piece of trail that we walked last weekend. It's right those paths that I really like: narrow, surrounded by green, some trees aside, along a mountain slope ... I felt really good when we walked there!
And that's why I want to share it with you as well 🙂

I felt pretty good this morning so got the bike out for a ride and managed to get 5 miles in under 30 minutes, which has been a goal for a while! Finally got my average speed over 10mph. Whew!

“With every pedal stroke, I could feel my jaw loosening, heaviness lifting from my shoulders, my heart opening to optimism again. I was finding a way up, and through.
“I spent practically every day last fall, a year since our daughter’s death, ably sailing up hills, with twigs and leaves crunching beneath my tires.
“Slowly, through every swerve and switchback, grief has given way to gratitude. But only because I have help moving through it.”

There's ACTUAL SAFETY and then there's STUNTING KIDS WITH OVERPROTECTION:
"My son was 9 when he started biking to school. But he couldn't bike to & from the afterschool program because they didn't allow that until age 12."

North side SF is full of 3-lane one way roads.
They all encourage dangerous speeding and do nothing to help people choose walking, transit, or biking to meet our climate goals.
Andrew Zieman was killed on one with this same layout.
They should all be immediately converted to 2 lanes plus a 2-way protected bikeway. Cheap, makes everyone safer (even drivers), massively expands bike network. #BikeSF

Fave photo is one of car lined street. biking through Bedford Stuyvesant and saw something similar. The kid goes running out of the street. Parents ibehind him screaming not to do that. driver hits the child. Horrible noise which car wasn't even going fast. No visibility. Kid appeared out of nowhere. Nothing to blame but the stupid system. takeaway. Intolerance for bad decisions.
Driver strikes, kills 5-year-old boy who ran out on to Queens street

First school run by bike since we moved to the forest last year!
Kiddo was stoked. (As was I.)
School run by e-bike vs. by e-car:
Distance: about the same
Travel time: about the same
Cost of electricity: $1.50 round trip by car, vs. $0.20 round trip by e-bike. (Car route goes around a mountain, whereas bike route goes over a mountain each way.)
Exercise benefit of biking: Immense. Looking forward to getting back in shape!

It's pretty obnoxious how the quickest and safest option between Brooklyn and central Queens is the car. This wouldn't be the case if we actually prioritized other modes here. #NYC
(The direct biking route is 1 hr 4 mins, but not recommended because total lack of infrastructure.)

My high school seemed to be constantly winning awards and topping rankings of public HS in the region. Far from filling me with pride, it was depressing, because my high school was utterly dysfunctional! You're telling me THIS is as good as it gets?
Anyway, San Francisco is the second-best bike city in the country https://www.

Good morning friends 🙋
One more photo from last year's hike.
I took this right after the last photo. After the path bent around the rocks, it went rather even with a very light incline along this side of the ridge.
This great view ahead, I just went on to see how far I could go in reasonable time.
I knew it would become chill quickly with the sun going down
@rasterweb@mastodon.social2024-04-18 12:54:45
Got in 7 miles this morning because I was up at 4am, could not sleep anymore and was out the door by 6:30am.
Riding streets is a little more exciting than the cemetery and you definitely have to be more alert.

But I was a little unrelated as I knew that I should back down before diving into the shade.

🚴♂️ Biking isn't just eco-friendly; it's economy-friendly too! New studies show that bike lanes can boost local business sales significantly. It's time we rethink urban spaces and promote #cyclonomics for a greener and prosperous future. #CarIsOver
📈 A protected bike lane in NYC led to a 49% sales increase for local stores, overshadowing the city average. Bike tourism in Oregon generated $400M last year. Cycling is more than a ride; it's a major economic driver. #SustainableEconomy #BikeLaneBoost #ReclaimTheStreets

I sat down and wrote my April recap. And to be honest: I AM TOTALLY SURPRISED!
I thought that I was *really* lazy this month. 2 weeks of grey bad weather dominated my memory. Just recapping how I spent this month was ... delighting. I don't feel lazy now any more.
I tried to make the post easy to read with captions and highlighting the important phrases.
