Seattle finishes first Dutch-style protected intersection. To turn left, cyclists first go straight across, then turn left— unlike typical treatments in the US, cyclists don’t have to mix with cars during left turns.
Today i did the 18th #Bike2Work ride.
It was 19°C and cloudy, no wind at all. Very wet since it stopped raining an hour before the ride. I was very lucky for once 😁 I did track C-K (22.5km, 280m ascend).
After these 10 days of stop (well i trained anyway, but not commuted) i felt in great condition. Plus, every time it's wet or raining it's like i have a boost or something...so i destroyed the last year PR by 5 minutes! 😲
En route to #Geneva to attend a #PhD jury at the Geneva #observatory, which is located near the French border outside Geneva.
Instead of renting a #car, as I used to do in the past, this time I’m renting… a bike to go from the station to my #hotel (about 16km away) and the diary to the observatory.
In 2023, word was it would be the last production season of the Surly Big Dummy (non-electric) cargo bike. It's still for sale today. https://surlybikes.com/bikes/big_dummy But they have made some changes that not everyone is happy with, including using a single chain ring up front and removing the mount points for a centerstand like the one that Xtracycle made for it originally.
I started a blog to promote the idea of electric cargo bikes a decade or so ago. At that time, many electric bikes and cargo bikes were still made from kits. The combination was even rarer.
The idea caught on so much that it seems non-electric cargo bikes on their way towards to extinction. It's true that cargo and electric pair very well on a bike.
It's also true the non-electric Surly Big Dummy is joy to ride whether it's around town for a long bike tour. #bike#cargobike
"Study Shows Majority Would Opt for Active Transportation with Dedicated Bike Lanes"
"Notably, 68% of respondents indicated that their frequency of bike trips would increase if dedicated infrastructure were available, while 62% pointed out the lack of safe infrastructure for active transportation in their cities."
Wojcieszów. Single tracki Dłużek oraz Okole. Wspaniały przelot pomiędzy nimi. Dłużek? Nuda. Choć dwie gleby zaliczyłem. Okole? W to mi graj. Były momenty. Urokliwy i najciekawszy technicznie. Utyrałem się jak jasna cholera.
Przelot? Z pięknymi widokami i ciekawymi miejscówkami pod przyszłe wyrypy.
Potem wpadły: zajebiaszczy pączek z porzeczkowym sorbetem oraz szejk o smaku maślanki z kruszonką (niebo!) w lodziarni znajdującej się w Świerzawie.
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.
bike to work day 150k. a friend of mine and i took yesterday off and went for an epic ride from rockville to brunswick. 110km was on the towpath and it was a lovely day some highlights below. we did see a lot of cow parsnip along the towpath. do not touch that plant. @bikedc#cycling#bike (1/2)
@bikedc the snake on the road was not happy with me trying to nudge it off to the side. i think i woke it up. brunswick, md entrance. beans in the belfry, and lock 26 (2/3) #cycling#bike
@bikedc here is a great photo of the snake that was unhappy with me having disturbed it. this is after it struck my wheel once and was confused why the wheel didn't react. it stayed coiled up until we left and then it was gone when we returned on our way home. #cycling#bicycling#bike
It was my first ride as a leader since I broke my arm 6 months ago
It was the first ride for another member in 2 years following knee surgery
It was the first ride back for another member after surgery for a life altering condition
So yes it was quite a ride and the sun shone on us
Cycling is amazing no matter how, where and why you do it ❤️🚲 #cycling#bike#Melbourne#Naarm
