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."

business owner wants to move the Valencia bike lane to here. lmao

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
Yes, you can buy flowers and bring them home by #bike.
This morning's bike ride was 5 miles of meandering through the cemetery and also past it onto some streets.

Yeah WE’RE DOING THIS! If you live in Camberville, we need YOUR help!
Peabody #BikeBus is doing a special ride on Wed, May 8, (7:30-9AM) for Walk/Bike/Roll To School Day.... with the friggin HONK BAND!!!
But we need folks to haul band members in cargobikes, and other stuff. Can you help?
Lol, nope. #BikeNYC
I randomly stopped in at wheel & sprocket to see if they had a better way of carrying the bike lock on my specialized. WTF? 🤨

Today I learned Minneapolis' bikeshare system, Nice Ride, shut down last year. We complain about how expensive the SF system (also run by Lyft) has gotten, but maybe we're lucky to have one at all? Ouch. #BikeTooter
I did a 5.3 mile bike ride this morning and followed it up with a 10 minute walk. The ride was a bit rough since I skipped the last two days due to being ill on Saturday evening.

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.

I rode my #bike today for the first time this year. Well, I tried to ride three weeks ago, the last time it was 18 degrees Celsius, but I had to abort then because my electronic shifters had no charge. But today I rode. It felt good. (I had to pump up the tire again. I need to get a new tube.) Also, April 5th is the same day I got back into bicycling in 2020 and was able to combine it with calisthe…
Looking forward to seeing this pilot effort to install #bike shelters in #Minneapolis come to fruition. MPS is a “bike city” that’s made substantial progress - with quite a bit of pushback - to develop needed #infrastructure
A little post I wrote about getting back on the bike! I am looking forward to the journey...

Bike lane… in a mall!

First #ebike and #biketrailer #coffeeGrounds delivery to the Frank White memorial Garden on West 143rd Street from Riverside valley community Garden thanks to
#BikeNYC has THE BEST bicycle parking. Seriously, places like Copenhagen don't even compare; we blow them out of the water!
I did a 5 mile ride this morning through the cemetery and over to Dineen Park, which was pretty nice. They've got 5 tennis courts and hopefully no pickleball!

🚴♂️ 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

Was a bit frustrated and tired after work due to some false positives I couldn't figure out. Slept for two hours and then got up again to not loose a bike day in the Swiss #BikeToWork campaign and—more important 😉—to not break my #BikeStreak. It became yet another midnight ride, so in theory it …
In Oakland I came across this actually protected bike lane with concrete, not just a flexpost to cosplay protection. Hope this advanced technology becomes available west of the Bay someday. #bikeSF

Making progress on the ebike awesomization project!
Added more handlebar space for the second ebike display and controller.
Before long I'll be back on my bike daily.

This is a new one. My wife had one of the new #Ortlieb bags had the clips snap off while riding (!).
The other ones are still going after more than a decade, not sure if they've shitted up their manufacturing process like everyone else?

Don Rafa's at 16th Street / South Van Ness is lowkey a great bike shop. Only open Mon-Fri and in a weird spot to bike to, but good people. Came in for a flat fix and they noticed my chain was dry and oiled it just as a courtesy #bikeSF
"Can you take a look at my bike? My chain was skipping almost all the way home."
"Sure. The drivetrain's pretty old, it's probably time.." *looks* "What the fuck?? How did..?!"

there is a special bike lane in hell for cyclists who close-pass and yell at children on car-free jfk. it’s a park. slow the fuck down and let kids be kids. #bikeSf
It spins!
Making progress adding a second electric motor to my cargo ebike. Looking forward to riding my bike again, after an extended break due to moving to an area with a very steep hill.

Ohhhh shit it was cold out today. Only managed 3 miles... hands were freezing.

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
Riding with the dead! My first bike rides in the cemetery...

This is fine and all, but I want the research that shows that bike/ebike/scooter subsidies are far more effective in reducing carbon emissions than electric car subsidies. #BikeTooter

Motorcycle gang riding illegally and dangerously on the walk/bike only portion of Golden Gate Park today. Photo of the most aggressive and physically threatening rider. One encounter at 3:51pm and another at 4:08pm. 911 was helpful (one voice call and one text exchange). #GoldenGatePark #BikeTooter
Our route to Prospect Park (from Forest Hills) will be an hour and a half (13mi) instead of an hour (10mi) because there's no fucking bike infrastructure south of us. At all. OSM routing directions are like, "just take Union Turnpike!". lol, no. #BikeNYC
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
always feel a twinge of FOMO when I pass a nice fixie locked to a bike rack
#BikeTooter
Whew! Longest ride so far… 7.5 miles. Went through two cemeteries and a park. Saw a waterfall, ducks and geese, and even some neighbors!
The bad parts were puddles, unpaved roads, and slipping gears.
#mke #milwaukee
What an awesome ride. When they shut down car traffic for bikes, that difference in scale of infrastructure investment hits home
#bikeNYC #NYCbike — I found the #5BBT super motivating to redouble my advocacy to expand the bike network in #nyc
#bike transit instead of cars is one GOOD way to help address #climate change. The 40mi /64km ride (incl stops) took just under 3 hrs
Can’t wait for the next Tour de < #Bronx #queens #brooklyn #StatenIsland #Manhattan > to explore each of the boroughs
#nypd continues to occupy the #columbia neighborhood in #nyc
Hard to capture the number of #nypd and cop cars of every size on every block from my bike.
And the #press covering how the protestors prevent folks from getting around … is itself occupying the public #bikenyc #citibike station actually interfering w peoples ability to get around.
It feels like it’s an occupied zone.
I am feeling shame and sadness this morning.
