These are the statements made by US politicians in 2019 regarding Hong Kong, when rioters were burning police cars, throwing Molotov cocktails.

@yogthos we have a “Proximity Rule” of Politics, in which the further away from the situation, the more forceful and principled the response.

Call for a #Ceasefire in @palestine and you get, uh... pushback🤔

Biggest positive takeaways from the line 2 opening:

  • The Master planned development near stations (Overlake and Spring District) is genuinely good.
  • The Spring District shallow station is awesome

Biggest negative takeaways:

  • the at grade stuff -- intersections and pedestrian access -- is extremely bad
  • Blows my mind how much parking is surrounding the stations.
  • Using highway adjacent right-of-ways is a disaster for the lines usefulness

@owen I was a little surprised it doesn’t go slightly further to Redmond (by which I mean “downtown”)

Five years ago, I volunteered a shift at the community bike shop and a grandma came in with her 9yo granddaughter looking for training wheels. I put her on the back of the tandem and did a few laps of the parking lot to build her confidence, them I took the pedals off a BMX and sent her out for a few more laps before putting them back on. Her grandma told me, as she watched her pedal around happily, that it was one of her best life memories.

@nsousanis is working on something and would like to hear some comments:

Q8. What are common complaints drivers make about people who cycle/bike lanes/etc?

(Added by me: are they valid? Why or why not?)

@ascentale A8. I haven’t read through all the great answers, but to answer the second part: no! The most common grumps I hear are downright ludicrous. Time to bust out the excellent https://CyclingFallacies.com/

OKAY. Stopping point on the Northshore Bike Map, connecting the latest Seattle and brand new Eastside map.

I've added everything I know and I've stumbled upon a bunch of things I didn't before. This has been educational.

I've also labelled a bunch of stuff, added replacement labels for certain attractions that had their labels obscured, and made a couple of corrections.

I'm not including the sidewalk/path hybrid along Ballinger because while sometimes it sure does feel like a path most of the time it's just "sidewalk."

DO YOU KNOW ROUTES I DON'T?

Tell me about them! But only if they're public. I've not included a couple of trails here because they're private.

@moira this is great, I'm taking a look! Is there a way to see it larger somewhere?

@moira ah, thanks I downloaded it!

ST has a list of secure lockers at their locations - looks like you have the bikelink ones... https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/know-before-you-go/bringing-your-bike/parking-storing-your-bike

I like MapComplete as a tool for showing some OSM stuff, but I wish their Bicycle Parkings could be sorted by type... https://mapcomplete.org/bicycle_parkings.html
