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.

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

A bicycle leaning against a tree that is covered in white and pink blossom. There's a sign on the tree and in black, on yellow, the text reads, "Think before you park". The tree is on a grass verge and behind the tree is a road. On the opposite side of the road are tall hedges.

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.

MAP REV 6, 26 Apr 21:45

#biking #NorthShore #Seattle #BikeTooter

A new Northshore Bike Connector Map, connecting the City of Seattle bike path map and the new Line 2 Eastside 10-minute-ride bike trail map. It's more than Northshore (Lake Forest Park and Kenmore), it's also Shoreline, Bothell, Woodinville, and Juanita/northern Kirkland.

SUB-REV-2: Added small connector bike lane links to Interurban trailhead area

SUB-REV-3: Added 92nd Ave NE past Bothell High School and 100th Ave NE (courtesy Erik in Bothell)

SUB-REV-4: Added 124th Ave NE single-side bike path from Tolt Pipline Trail to NE 165th St. Added secure bike storage locker markers. Added Leafline regional trail markers.

SUB-REV-5: MASSIVE Shoreline updates courtesy @sip@social.ridetrans.it

SUB-REV-6: Extensive additions to north Kirkland, small but important addition in southeast Kenmore. Note that Kirkland's official map is five years out of date and both fails to show routes present and shows routes not actually present.

The Trail goes up the hill and bends around behind the tree that the bike is leaning on before disappearing at the right edge of the picture. Surrounding the trail is grass that looks faded, green and yellow and orange.

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. 🚲

#BikeTooter #Cycling

Cartoon drawing with the title: "What would make cycling safer?" One side of the drawing says, according to people on the Internet: helmets. The other side says, according to actual statistics: separating bikes and traffic; educating drivers; enforcing speed limits; dedicated traffic-free routes; close pass laws; disqualifying repeat offenders; investment in active travel; and finally, getting people off their sofas makes everyone safer and healthier.

“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

* Misc small stuff

URLs have not changed. Enjoy:
