#QueensZoo needs to ditch these awful bike racks and install staple racks. This same amount of space could fit at least a dozen bikes, but the "wheel bender" rack is just space inefficient.
#NYCParksDepartment

A wooded area next to a fence (next to the Queens Zoo entrance). A long wheel-bender bike rack, maybe 12ft long, with cobblestone underneath. Two cargo bikes (mid-tail or longtail) are parked on either end of the rack, basically the only usable spots on the rack. Kid seats are installed on the rear of both bikes.
Same rack with the two cargo bikes locked, but now there's a *third* cargo bike (my blue Yuba Kombi) attached to it. My bike is locked in the middle, and I have a smaller kids' bike attached to my bike, so I'm literally taking up THE ENTIRE SIDE of the bike rack. The smaller bike is attached to my rear rack by its front wheel, with the rear wheel of the kids' bike on the ground.

You can check out the team names for the Riverwest 24 bike ride/race coming up next month...
(I should be able to 'unofficially' ride along for some of it this year.)

Oof, after 17 (very active) years, this bike fender really doesn't want to come off. #BikeNerdStuff

A rear (bicycle) drop-out, with a hand next to it. In the hand, a washer and a very rusty bolt that has a clean silver shear where it has broken in half. In the bike frame, there's a clean bolt (attached to a rack strut) and a bump next to it (with a lot of dirt) that is the other half of the broken bolt.

That would be cool. It would make it easier to go from A to B.
"There isn’t any numeric goal in mind now, said Mike Amsden, a transportation planning manager for the city. But the city wants to keep connecting existing lanes “so that people do have continuous, cohesive, easily-understood network of protected bike lanes.”
He said the city is focused on protected bike lanes over regular bikes lanes because they are much safer for riders."

The new construction on Lisbon Avenue has a separated bike lane next to the sidewalk.
So which is worse? People walking on the bike lane or people biking on the sidewalk?
(I am hoping they add “bike lane” paint labeling at some point.)

My wife and me both have commitments during the day. So we just did a 2h cycling to our beautiful reservoir and back. It went really well and it felt good to be on the bike.
Especially as it's not so hot any more.
Enjoy your weekend!

This image captures a breathtaking and expansive mountain lake scene, showcasing the serene beauty of a high-altitude landscape. The foreground features a vibrant, turquoise-colored lake, its calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky above. The lake is nestled between steep, forested slopes, creating a stunning contrast between the water and the lush greenery.
The surrounding mountains are covered in dense forests of evergreen trees, their dark green foliage adding depth and texture to the scen…

Good afternoon #BikeNYC #BikeTooter. Gorgeous day out there, make sure you've got your official #NYC garbage bin before the June 1st deadline!

A blue midtail cargo bike (a Yuba Kombi with a battery and custom (Bafang BBS02) motor. Attached to the rear is a 45gal black garbage bin. Behind the bike, there's the world's shittiest bike rack, and the generic stone wall and windows of a big box hardware store.
An overhead shot of me over the bike. White-ish guy with a blue shirt, white helmet, glasses, and stubble. Behind me is the rear rack of the bike (and a pannier), dwarfed by the big garbage bin.
Another side view of the cargo bike, from the opposite side. A black pannier is attached to the rear rack, which has a ring (for kids to hold onto ) and a little black pad (for kid butts). A bungee is hooked between the metal bar of the garbage bin and the bottom of the bike, and another cord goes around the outside of the bin. The bin reads "trash". Bhine the bike, a red brick wall and foliage.
Front/side view of the bike, which is parked w/ the kickstand up. There's a black battery nestled between the down front tubes, a flat squat pannier (containing the garbage bin wheels and misc other stuff), and the bin on this side reads "New York City Dept Of Sanitation"

Am I too late for a #BikeNitePQ ?
My neighbor was complaining about squeaky disc breaks on his bike. I mentioned that I read you can use a high-grit sandpaper to sand the disc a bit and that might fix it... then I offered to help.
Does that work? Is it a good idea to try it?

Do it!
"Now, Milwaukee officials are considering a $3.2 million plan to upgrade bike lanes and make other safety improvements on the high-profile street.
The west side of Second Street, between downtown and West Maple Street, would get a two-way protected bike lane. That would replace the unprotected bike lanes now running on both sides."

I stopped by the vet's office today to pick up meds for the cat. This sign is down. You can see the disturbed concrete where it was mounted. This is the pole I would lock my bike to when I would stop by the vets.
I wonder if someone on their bike crashed into it and knocked it over ha ha, just kidding... I'm sure it was a car.

Added Power Grips (pedal straps) to my wife's #Brompton. Not going to say it's my nicest work, but I'm hopeful that it'll hold. I only drilled holes through the plastic reflectors; the metal is all intact. I can change that later if needed. #BikeTooter

The right side pedal. The red Brompton is folded up (doesn't even really look like a bike), but the right crank has a normal-looking pedal with a black strap on it. The metal hardware attachment has screws going through the orange plastic reflector of the pedal.

The bike's on a white rug w/ black line pattern.
The opposite side of that same right pedal. You have a better view of the opposite side of the orange reflector, with nuts and washers attached to the bolts that go through it. The red folding bike it's attached to is just a jumble of stem, wheel, drivetrain, etc.
The left-side pedal (and behind it, the brompton logo on the red frame). The pedal is folded up so that it is parallel to the crank arm. The orange reflector is missing from the exposed side of the pedal. Of the two screws that held the reflector in, one is missing (just an empty screw hole), and the other is screwed into the end of the black Power Grip strap.
The other side of the left pedal. This time the pedal is unfolded (so it's perpendicular to the crank arm), and the plastic grey reflector mount is installed but only one side is screwed in. The orange reflector is actually missing, and underneath you can see the silver Power Grips attachment hardware. Though normally you'd have two screws holding the attachment hardware in, there's only one screw there; the grey reflector mount is on top of it, pinching it down to hold it in place. Essentially…

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. 😭

The sports medicine facility I go to for PT sent me a survey. The last question was a big text box to tell them about my experience so I wrote this:
“Overall a great experience. My only complaint is the bike rack in the parking structure that is super-cheap/poor quality and not even bolted down.”
