Somehow, #Costco was *out of carts*. I don't know how that happens. There were people waiting at the entrance, trailing other people to their cars to grab their carts.
"No sweat," I told the security people at the store entrance. "I brought my own cart."
#BikeTooter

Bakfiet-style bike, filled with bulk groceries in the (blue) box; 2 trays of tofu, 30 pack of toilet paper, seaweed, etc. The view is from behind the box. A black/white/clear rain cover covers the box, and food is leaning against some of the sides of the rain cover. A white helmet hangs from the handlebars. In front of the bike, people lined up for the checkout register.
Same bike, but this time the shot from behind the rear wheel. A black pannier hangs from the rear rack. The bike frame is white, with a blue box on a black platform. A hailong battery sits atop the platform. Same groceries in the box.

Trying to think of something witty to say about the truck full of leafblowers blocking the bike lane (and parked facing the wrong direction) today but I'm all out of gas.
#BikeLane #LeafBlowers

Screengrab from a bicycle handlebar camera (so, POV is the cyclist) showing a street, with the word "SCHOOL" painted in large white letters across the street, indicating a school zone in the foreground. In the near distance, a white landscaping truck is parked in the bike lane, facing the wrong direction. There is also an SUV with a baby-on-board sticker passing the cyclist.

Yes, you can buy flowers and bring them home by #bike.

The image displays a close-up of a bicycle with a black, fabric saddlebag attached to its rear rack. The bag holds two vibrant orchid plants: one with bright pink flowers and the other with pale green blooms. The bike is parked next to a collection of potted evergreen plants arranged on a wooden palette, enhancing the contrast of the vivid floral colors against the surrounding greenery and muted bike accessories.

When even the #WallStreetJournal reports on micro car, Microlino (1100 pound electric car modeled after the iconic 1950’s era BMW Isetta— front hatch and all)… you think there may be some hope that we self-correct carbon course on transportation.
Or… maybe this is the ‘gateway’ car for suburban moms not prepared to go full-on-cargo #bike to get kids and groceries to where they need to be.
I’m not looking for a car, but if I were, this would be right in my lane.

📈 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

View of the same cassette, this time from the side. The random metal wire thing can be seen going over top of the biggest sprocket, then wrapping around the hub.
That same wire, pulled off the cassette and lying on a wood floor. It looks like  a wire hanger, 12-18" long, and pretty mangled and rusty. There's also the nose and face of a black cat inspecting the wire (my helper feline).

Incredible example of lying with graphs from Caltrans. The bike lane pilot on the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge reduced collisions, but they made it look like collisions increased.
Specifically, they divided collisions by vehicle miles traveled. But California's goal is to reduce vehicle miles traveled. So they took two good things achieved by the pilot, and made them cancel out to look like a bad thing. #BikeTooter

In each case, the number of incidents after implementing the pilot is the same as or less than before the pilot, but the bar is bigger, and has the same or a larger number on top of it.

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

A 3 lane (not counting curb parking lanes), one way street through a residential area lined with trees, facing in the direction of traffic.
