Pointing at every bike I see and saying “bike time”

i had that problem with the Graham stairs on high point, I reported the issue, stairs are not a good bike route, and later got feedback that they adjusted it. Haven’t had the problem since.

Report a problem is a the bottom of the list of turns for a route.

Snow reminds me that Seattle is basically a staircase pretending to be a city.

next media question: what options do I have to set up music to be able to stream in multiple rooms at once, in sync? do I have to get some smart system or whatever like sonos? or can I have stuff connected to a central media pc or something. I am very clueless.

We enjoy our three Sonos-compatible IKEA Symfonisk speakers. We Bluetooth/airplay music from our phones and run KEXP from the Sonos app.

I like them because they had no mics. Sadly they aren’t made anymore. If you found a couple used they might be worth a try.

Sonos branded speakers good but $$$

I am going to kindly share, as a Black person used to dodging these types of things, if you have your settings set to autoplay video, today is a great day to turn them off. You can be very informed without having to witness murder.

Mayor-elect Wilson shakes up SDOT leadership + City needs to get back on pace to keep up with the transportation levy’s demands Adiam Emery (white jacket over blue top) observes a people-protected bike lane demonstration at 4th and Pine April 30, 2025. Emery directed a quick response to the community action, installing a heavier barrier by the end of the day. With Mayor-elect Katie Wilson less than two weeks from assuming office, we are already seeing signs of change within SDOT leadership. Interim Director Adiam Emery will not continue in that role, with Wilson tapping Angela Brady of the sprawling Office of the Waterfront, Civic Projects and Sound Transit to take on the Interim Director role.

The dark plus the hardship folks are experiencing has made it a bit much. I am glad for today’s break.

Hot take: Fremont Bridge should be closed to cars and open only for bikes and pedestrians. For cars it's mostly redundant with Aurora Bridge and we're never going to build a new bridge (with the required ability to open, especially) for non-cars. As a historic bridge it'll last a lot longer, too.

Hearing a rumor recently I hadn't been hearing a few weeks ago: transportation committee chair Alexis Mercedes Rinck?

Yeah, I often give myself a really simple mission (get out the door, or 1 loop around the hood) and that is all I need to go for a while.

A bar in an existing grandfathered corner store zone should create a cocktail called "recipe for disaster."

Being the only transit rider at a transit related press event continues to be incredibly demoralizing when I wish it was embarrassing for the transit agency involved.

I took my first bike ride down the new northwest section of the waterfront trail.

I wish they had done that on the southeast section, we could leave the tetnus trench for the trike super heros (complementary). #seabikes
