I spotted this Little Free Food Pantry in Cooper Park over near 81st and Chambers on the ride in today.

It looks like the details for this year's Doors Open Milwaukee are available.
"Historic Milwaukee members can purchase tickets beginning September 3. Tickets are available to the general public beginning September 10."

First (real) ride on the new bike. So chuffed! Also, found a dollar on the way home so yeah, biking really pays off!

People complain about the roads but don't do anything about it... well, some of us do.
I've been avoiding these two potholes on my ride home for weeks now, got fed up, finally stopped to report them to the city last week and they just got filled...
In four days. The city street crew filled them in less than a week. Hell Yeah.
(The first photo is what I submitted, second is from the road crew after repairs.)

I did nearly the whole commute in PAS 1 today, just went to PAS 3 for the bad stretch on Hampton. It was a bit more of a workout, and that was fine. Seemed like a good day for it.
I also did 5 miles on the acoustic bike this morning for a quick run to the grocery store to get milk for a recipe my partner is making for their department today.

The view on the way to work along the Oak Leaf Trail is lovely at some spots...
(Though stopping for the photo I got attacked by bugs, which is not great.)

I'm guessing that this is a result of the flooding

Today’s ride for Scrappy Hour was 7 miles out and then 7 miles back! The hills killed me. 😢

Pour one out for Pizza Man in Wauwatosa... they are closing next week so we're getting lunch from them today. Good for us, bad for them. (The Milwaukee location is still open.)

Remember the request I made to the City of Milwaukee to sweep/clean the bike lanes on Hampton Avenue? Here's the reply...
DPW: THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE DOESN'T SWEEP THAT FAR WEST ON HAMPTON AVE. THE COUNTY AND THE CEMENT COMPANY TAKES CARE OF THE BRIDGE AND SWEEPING OF THE ROCKS. SUPV RPW
So I guess I contact Riv/Crete or Milwaukee county now...

This is awesome... Milwaukee (and other cities) need more of this kind of thing!

Under the bridge: A skatepark grows in Milwaukee
The National DIY Skatepark in Milwaukee's Walker's Point neighborhood started out as an illegal project in the midst of COVID-19. Now, it's a nonprofit with city backing.

I just submitted my first request to the city to clean up a bike lane. I chose "Miscellaneous Street Maintenance" because I could not find anything that was a better fit.

Besides the bruised bananas I am chuffed at today's ride to the store and general adventure ride around town, going places I didn't think I could get to by bike. I rode about 13 miles and a little over an hour. The ebike is great for outrunning traffic or getting up those nasty hills. I still go really slow (PAS 1 or turned off) when on the crowded Oak Leaf Trail.

We biked next to a section of the Menomonee River that has a railway bridge over it and you can see the debris left from the flood back in August. Yes, the river was as high as the bridge!

I’m not saying I’m the first person to ride the entire length of the new protected bike lane on Lisbon but there’s a good chance I am… (I had to carry my bike across a dozen gaps because it’s not all connected yet!)

My bike to work route...

Bike Commute to Work
How did I get here?

I did a 21 mile bike ride today. Along the way I saw a turkey, found a good pair of scissors, discovered Hidden Lake, and stopped to see Mama Rosa at Firefly Grove Park in Wauwatosa.
