This is Metsokangas elementary school in the far suburbs of Oulu 🇫🇮. It was -31°C in the morning (-40° windchill). What you see here is just 1 of the 4 parking lots for students. It's not about the cold, it's the safe infrastructure & excellent maintenance. No rocket science.

It snowed today in Provincetown. #bicycle #snow #Provincetown #CapeCod #BikeTooter
On my e-bike ride tonight I glimpsed lightning in white clouds over the blue sea at dusk.
It was splendid!

Yesterday an SUV nearly ran me over when I was crossing a street. There were around 20 seconds on the count down and it was obvious that it was a red light.
I stopped in the intersection after it very unwillingly stopped, and glared at the driver.
Ever since I personally witnessed two people being killed in front of me, as a pedestrian, here in SF, I have been radicalized. It’s a big fucking deal and it’s unthinkable to me that pols don’t think so.

A gentle 70km this morning with my mate, Paul, who is recovering from the lurgy. His coughing and spluttering eased in the second half of the ride. It was great to give Peadar its first longer ride of the year. What a bike it is to ride, super responsive. #BikeToot #BikeTooter #PinarelloMarvel #Pinarello #Cycling #TreeInBlossom #PeadarThePinarello #OutsideIsfree #FromWhereIRide
Rode the Cetma across town a couple of times this morning with the trailer, a bike, and a bunch of random stuff. Not fun on the hills without the motor! #CargoBike #Cetma #ebike #BikeTooter
I wish I knew more about this project in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
I suspect this is part of bus driver training.
I'm imagining the DMV making it a part of every driving test for your license. Some people learn best by experiencing the consequences of their actions from the victim's perspective.
8 inches/20cm of heavy wet snow has blown in 3 days after the ski mountain closed for the year. The drifts were well over a foot deep in some places and I had do a bit of “fatbike cyclocross” to get to town.

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 are 100% private.

Cows in La Creuse are really curious. They largely ignore cars but walk or cycle past them and they will come closer and or follow you as you go! 🥰
They do, in this 20-second video footage!

I don’t own a car and I ride my bike a lot, often on very busy city streets. I always wear a helmet when I ride — not because it makes me less likely to get hit by a car, but because it makes me less likely to suffer from brain damage if and when I do get hit by a car.
However, as Dave Walker (@davewalker) points out, there are MANY other and much better ways to make cycling safer for everyone. 🚲

“I think the bicycle has done more to emancipate women than any one thing in the world. I rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a bike. It gives her a feeling of self-reliance and independence the moment she takes her seat, and away she goes, the picture of untrammelled womanhood.”
- Susan B Anthony in 1896.
Happy World Bicycle Day.

What do you do with old bikes and stations from your bike share system? Montréal-based artist JUNKO turned them into this giant “BIXI” insect sculpture.

Here’s a map that shows the area where the Provincetown Select Board is proposing to ban people from riding bikes but allow people
to drive cars. It encompasses Commercial St through the center of town from the library all the way to the Canteen restaurant. You can read our statement about the proposal and our suggestions for ways to improve safety on the street: https://bikescape.org/pedal-blog/dont-ban-bikes #Provincetown #CapeCod #SafeStreets #traffic #mapoli #bicycle #cycling #BikeTooter

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.3 RELEASE
Now incorporating the southern mile-ish of Snohomish County! Yes, we further enGreatered Northshore. Mostly for Interurban North and North Creek but not just.
Also new since 1.2:
* Construction warnings with dates! At least the ones I know about, which means Juanita Way. They're widening the bike lanes but that means there _aren't_ bike lanes sometimes.
* New bike lanes on 73rd Ave NE in Kenmore!
* Bike shop icons in Northshore
* Route updates in Bothell and Lake Forest Park
* Misc small stuff
URLs have not changed. Enjoy:
