Junction with a car turning into a side road across a cycle track and footpath. Car is turning correctly at 90 degrees to the junction. Tracks are evident where other drivers misjudged their angles and drove over kerbs

New cycle lanes in Galway. Much of the hype has died down now that people see the road is wide, the design good. But the tightened junctions are still a point of conflict. I don’t know whether to fault the maths teachers (π/2 🤷‍♂️) or driving instructors.

But it’s good to SLOW DOWN at junctions.

Rising cost of fuel?

Well, on overnight tariff, 60p of electricity gets me about 50 miles in our electric van..

..or 59p worth of fig rolls* gets me about the same distance, albeit slower and with more sweat and smiles, on my beloved bike.

*don't come at me; fig rolls are peak snacking

One of N.J.’s largest universities just banned e-bikes — and some students are not happy The school says riders have been breaking safety rules, but critics question why everyone is being punished.

photo of people biking into downtown Seattle

The three most common doubts I hear about whether biking can scale in Seattle are:
1) Is it too hilly?
2) Is it too rainy?
3) Are things too far away?

Let's assume those are good faith questions and look at each one in turn. 🧵

What a normal stable person does when you say "hey the stop sign was back there" when you're biking with your 4 year old. (She turned around and blocked the crosswalk while screaming at me about how long she has lived in the neighborhood.)

Maybe she wanted to share with about the days when the STOP dign was not back there .But even then, this is not the way to say it.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING

Choose your leaders

with wisdom and forethought.

To be led by a coward

is to be controlled

by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool


is to be led

by the opportunists

who control the fool.

To be led by a thief

is to offer up

your most precious treasures

to be stolen.
To be led by a liar


is to ask

to be told lies.

To be led by a tyrant

is to sell yourself

and those you love

into slavery.
