Why were most of the cyclists in this photo wearing masks in November 1977? Was it to avoid breathing polluted air?
If so, thank goodness we have the EPA now; I hope we can address modern threats to air quality, like climate change related wildfires, rather than giving up and letting the air become difficult to breathe again.
A quickie ten minutes #biking ride around Montréal to get some air and reset the mind, after spending two whole days trying to do color calibration for 4 scanners on Linux, a maddeningly tedious and confusing #colormanagement process 😌
The Cheshire Rail Trail goes from Keene, NH to Bellows Falls, VT but it looks faint and elusive the further you get from Keene. I'm checking out someone’s Street View, wondering if the family can/would try it, then I pan the camera down to see who’s riding it. ";^)
Shot in 2020, I wonder if the trail has had much work since?
and also because despite that i biked to seattle electric bikes in bothell and #bothell ski and bike in #kenmore and told them about my maps and showed them small versions and once they finally accepted that i really wasn't trying to sell them anything they were really into it
like me they are sick of having no king county bike map and here i walk in with half of one
seattle electric bikes in bothell was even "we would pay you for these" but i know i can't break even doing that so said "just go to fedex"
We’re exploring a better connection to bike, walk, and roll between Highland Park and the Duwamish River Trail. Share your thoughts by June 15.

I did manage to do 6 miles today in about 38 minutes. I have rode the last few days due to rain or feeling unwell in the morning. I've also been on medication that prevents me from being in the sun but this is the last day of that.
Achievement unlocked yesterday: First 20-mile (32km) ride... EVER! Got to feast my eyes on beautiful orchards and farmland, Bear Creek, and Black Rascal creek.
This ride felt like tangible proof that my decision to ditch alcohol and eat healthier (more cooking from scratch, less ultra processed foods) is paying off.
Morning mt bike ride before the rain moved in. Trails are in prime condition so I routed us up some techy stuff to session lines and expand boundaries. Or tip over, we did some of that too.
Did an end-to-end test. Towed the kayak with my bike 5 miles to the lake, then disassembled the cart and stowed it in the kayak. Folded up the bike and bungeed it down on the rear deck. Went kayaking around the lake for a while, then reversed everything and biked back home.
It's a lot slower than putting the kayak on the car, but... I gotta say, it felt pretty awesome to head out knowing I could go anywhere there's water or a trail. And switch between them as needed.
Looks like another successful #OpenStreets for #boston#dorchester with a whole bunch of both gov and charity causes pitching their ideas alongside music, games, food and plenty of nicks and nacks.
The real success is seeing RBCs (roving bands of children) just enjoying the #carFree street. More of this!
Family bike ride yesterday along the Sugar River rail trail that goes from Newport to Claremont, NH. Winding along the river we saw quite a few fly fishing folks in their hip waders angling for the best spots. Also quite a few sturdy bridge crossings, many of them covered. This rail trail allows motorized recreational vehicles which results in a more chewed up surface: loose sand, gravel, and washboard bumps makes for slow going and more pedaling.
Here, have the quickly-made MEGAMAP 1, a combination of the new Greater Northshore Connector Bike Map, most of the City of Seattle 2023 Bike Map, and the April 2024 2 Line Connector Eastside Bike Map.
It is NOT SMALL. Printed at native 300dpi, it's right about 26" square, or 660mm square.
