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!

@rasterweb I got 16.23 in today, good weather for riding. Will go for 20+ this weekend.

@fistfulofdave Nice! My longest ride is still just 10 miles but I do hope to get further as the months progress. Weather was great, shorts & a t-shirt was perfect.

New blog post!

In which I write how I replaced Strava with my own private solution that does not depend on any cloud service.

And also some stories about the bikes I owned.

@nopatience Thanks! I am also thinking about self-hosting email, mostly because I tried to use a commercial email provider when I wanted to host my own discourse instance, and making them work with me was an impossible task.

awesome to see some scientific validation of what you hoped was true

Well, good. Because my knees are not thanking me for Sunday's ride. They are kind of being an ungrateful jerk, TBH.

@ohmu curious what distance on avg the participants rode

The trail markers of MTB trails showcase the poetry of creation. Made by volunteers, when you ride these at the end your legs, lungs, and soul agree: 'apt'. Let's do that one more time...

NPR today:

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."

Has anyone here used the Avondale Road barely-marked "bike lanes" from around the Power Line Trail up to NE 132nd? Because on Google Maps they lack things like "this is a bike lane" markers except at the very, very end. Right now I've marked them as dual sharerows because of how bad they look to me. But are they secretly okay in person?

@moira I wouldn't ride a bike on Avondale unless I was feeling suicidal.

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@bls Yeah, it looks scary as fuck. That's why I'm just refusing to mark it as double-bike-lane even though Redmond absolutely does.

I'm sticking with "double sharerow" marking for now, because paint stripe or not, you're sharing the row. :/

Drinking homemade Cuban coffee on the deck after a nice 17m/28-ish k #bike ride.

Saw a hawk watching a field like, uh, a hawk. I suspect it wanted breakfast. A super cute skunk did not pay attention to me, which is my preference with skunks.

Life does not suck.

@Hansonthebike @brainscores I remember suggesting the the LRT tunnel should have a pedestrian/cycling side tunnel, but that went exactly nowhere. 🤷🏻

Is there a calculator to let people calculate actual cost per mile to drive a given car, accounting for actual purchase price, insurance, gas prices, parking costs, and length of time one has owned car? Trying to see just how much I’m saving with an ebike. @TheWarOnCars @seabikeblog

Bike ride today, just a big old loop... 5 miles in 31 minutes. Still haven't cracked that 30 minute mark!

@rasterweb I’ve been too sick to ride the last few days. Really want to get back out hopefully tomorrow.

There’s a bike policy ride this Saturday in where you can hear and ask questions about infrastructure projects to reduce car dependence in the city.

Bike ride today with the Kuyas! I'm satisfied with the ride since I got better stats compared from last ride. I've listened to the constructive inputs from the Kuyas regarding my errors last ride hence I was able to improve.

Best part of the ride? It's got to be the .

This is by far my longest bike ride!

The original four-person riders became only two, only Manong was left with me, haha. We decided to push through with the ride and I'm glad that we did. ;)

Went all the way to Pinuwasan Bridge!
