What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.

Ugh. If the new bus terminal is going to look anything like that wavy glass Chang Feng building they did, I'm going to be sad. It looks like a tacky design from a Star Wars prequel.

Ugly shiny building with lots of big rounded corners and wavy glass

@990000 DUDE WOW Foster and Partners said BRING BACK STREAMLINE and ngl I'm kinda into it!

Every city should have some ugly buildings as long as they're ugly in interesting ways. And this one? These are interesting ways. I am into it. :D

Okay! New map! The attachment is the first representation of dataset 1.1, using a lot of dotted green lines (as per the Seattle map legend) to show non-bike-signed routes commonly used by people biking.

(It's not full resolution because Mastodon shrinks it.)

It also includes a couple of actual bike-supporting routes I missed in dataset 1.0, and a lot more dirt/loose gravel trails, particularly in unincorporated King County and on the northern Eastside. But there's bits of adds everywhere.

The dotted green is experimental. Feedback is definitely requested.

Full resolution is at Github, select the map labelled "EXPERIMENTAL":

One thing working with the version 1.1 dataset is telling me is that if there are some pretty obvious-seeming ways that an un-notated map would tell you to go... but the heat data says nobody does that.

And that's the value of including these green dashed lines, because ... that lack of heat data says there's a reason not go do there.

NPR today:

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."

Every time I see someone talk about an electric bike I'm like, "Oo, I want one. They've got to have come down in price, right?"

But no, of course not.

moira,
@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

@trixter @CactuarJoe I do note that there are conversion kits. They can be torque or RPM keyed, and I cannot recommend torque keying more strongly, even if it does cost a bit more because it requires changing the pedal hub too.

I haven't used one but I've eyed them, we still have a couple of old bikes we don't use that make me go, like, "full cargo conversion? full cargo conversion?"

i hate the way nhk world dumps an entire weekend of all at once on youtube

i mean i'm glad they do it at all but it's like "whelp guess I'm not getting caught up" because getting caught up would absolutely be too many sumo

so i'm just all the way back on day six and that's all there is for it

anyway the oshoma / takarafuji match was fun, i liked that

Tucker Carlson is denying any deal to launch a TV show in Russia.

He's much more useful to them operating from the outside.

dataset 1.0 vs. 1.1. The demand paths make a difference, particularly in explaining how the full infrastructure areas fit together.

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

city of kenmore says the 68th ave ne bike lanes go all the way up to the county border (via 203rd or whatever it is), google keeps insisting they do not

RELEASE CANDIDATE TIME

Revision 1.1, Dataset 1.1 rev 4, Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map.

This version adds heatmap-sourced non-bike-infrastructure routes that people use anyway as a new class, in Seattle-style green. Think of them as demand paths.

I think they're worth adding because they tell people: yes, people use these fragments of infrastructure; this is how they connect together. This is where people actually go.

Also more dirt trails, a little more road-level infrastructure - minor stuff - and an improved legend.

The attached is at reduced resolution because that's what Mastodon does. But it's okay.

Feedback desired.
