Today we did a 20 mile ride out to a beach on Oslofjord.
I really need to stop and take more photos as it's hard to put into words how much more pleasant biking is in Norway than the US.
The bike infrastructure is better than Seattle but most importantly the car drivers are far more aware of bikes and I almost never feel like I'm in a dangerous situation. #BikeTooter#bikejoy#seattle#norway
Come next Saturday (6/1) is the crazy “run-the-loop” full #marathon#race held at #UniversityOfWashington’s historic #DrumhellerFountain: one loop is 192.37 meters, so the full course requires running 219 loops! Race starts at 5:30am 😟 and we're supposed to flip the direction every hour!
This afternoon's #Seattle Reign FC match against the Washington Spirit at 4:30 p.m. PT will be broadcast locally on KONG-TV and stream for free on KING 5+ and NWSL+. http://king5.com/watch
I have a #PyConUS / #Seattle “missed contact" question; I spoke to a Tammy who was at #PyCascades and PyCon US, and we talked about GitHub's contribution graph; if anyone knows who that is, can you put her in touch? Thanks!
Okay so with no show stoppers appearing, I've dropped Greater Northshore BIke Map 1.2 - Late May 2024, which shows bike infrastructure and adds preferred non-infrastructure routes between the Seattle and the new Eastside 2 Line Bike Connector maps.
It covers Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Juanita, parts of north Redmond that the 2 Line leaves out, and a decent chunk of unincorporated NE King County.
Next up will be a revision of the MEGAMAP, a map that pastes together the Greater Northshore map and the two others into one big poster-sized beast.
Just popping up to share that we now have confirmed dates for the West Coast leg of my Lifehouse tour! It would make me beyond happy to see you on August 1st at Elliott Bay in Seattle (w/Dean Spade!),
August 3rd at Page Against the Machine in Long Beach,
August 6th at Green Apple’s 9th Ave store in San Francisco, or August 8 at Powell's in Portland – and hopefully break bread with you afterward. Feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested! #mutualaid#climate#anarchism#books
Oh, and a very important follow-up request for folks in #Seattle, #Portland, the #BayArea and the #LA basin: if you work with or know of any #mutualaid efforts that would like to present themselves to my audience, set out literature, etc., please let me know as soon as possible. It’s my great hope to use each one of these book talks to share a little bit of shine with local organizers in every city I’ll be visiting. 👊
