Anyone have experience with Edge Lane Roads? They seem like a great solution for streets that have constrained widths or are many years away from ever getting sidewalks or bike lanes. Here’s a great video about them from Vail, Colorado: https://vimeo.com/936813895

Are there any route mappers that are able to chain bike and bus trips? I was trying to route a trip using bike trails and buses with bike racks along Cape Cod and it wasn’t an easy task. (It also overestimates the time to ride along trails, making bike trips look a lot longer than they really are.)

Threatening skies didn’t keep me away from this fine today on . Enjoyed the afternoon at the far end of the cape (Provincetown, MA) and hit two beaches to enjoy the views, fresh air, and sound of the waves. Spent time looking for whales but spotted a fox on land instead!

Here’s a map that shows the area where the Provincetown Select Board is proposing to ban people from riding bikes but allow people
to drive cars. It encompasses Commercial St through the center of town from the library all the way to the Canteen restaurant.
