Another weekend ride around part of Lake Washington. This time, I was surprised to find the 520 bridge closed to bikes, so I had to extend the ride about 50%, making it the longest ride I've done in a while. Strava says I burned 1338 calories! (The picture looks very similar to the one I took last weekend, but if you look closely you'll see the cormorants are all facing the opposite direction.) #bike#cycling#seattle#SEAbikes
Bit of a design fail when I choose to avoid the “healthy street” intended for bikes because there are so many speed bumps to slow down cars (without cutouts for bikes) and go for the parallel no speed bump side street instead. For local folks (1st ave north of 85th in Greenwood—I’ve been diverting to 2nd instead). #seabikes#bike#biketooter#cycling
@moira@ascentale@seabikeblog I wish Seattle Neighbourhood Greenways (SNG) had a Fediverse account. I've asked them to join in before but they haven't decided to yet. I should push again. #SEABikes#BikeNite
#Seattle folks! If you're in the #EdmondsWA area they are asking for feedback for their #urban plan! They're doing what we want, more medium housing, more transit, more walking and biking. But NIMBY-ers are quickly filling in the comments and calls, literally with phrases like "anti cars" and saying they need MORE parking lots, less housing. PLEASE boost and share with your other friends, let's encourage #cycling and #transithttps://edmonds2044.infocommunity.org/

3/4 Everyone on the Beacon Hill Safe Streets community bike ride was able to enjoy freshly installed concrete protection on the Columbian Way bike lanes while construction workers were installing more pieces; we cheered on the workers as we passed by. Thank you SDOT! #SEAbikes#Seattle#Volunteer#BikeTooter#PNW
NBD... well, not exactly, but I picked up a 2015 Trek 1.1 for $200 USD. According to the seller, the bike was used once for a ride event (Seattle To Portland) but not much since. It's got the Shimano Claris with 11-28T, which isn't ideal for steep hills, but it's okay. I mainly intend to use it for errands and commuting.
