Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

The nice folks at the Lavender Farm let me ride down to the eucalyptus patch

I rode over to Bothell to drop off these dead UPS batteries at the King County Hzardous Wastemobile. Another errand by bicycle that became a fun journey instead of a chore.

A black plastic crate on the front rack of a bicycle. Inside the crate are jackets and sweaters swaddling a large pumpkin. Leaves and asphalt sidewalk are visible in the background, and the edge of bike handlebars can also be seen in the bottom of the photo.

My new front rack crate was perfect for carrying home this (very swaddled) pumpkin on my #TernHSD e-bike.

I listened to my inner squirrel and bought the giant acorn basket

How to design safer intersections:

​1. Near-sided signals. Placed before the bike/ped crossing, they prevent drivers from creeping into the path.

​2. Pavement differentiation. High-contrast, colored crossings (like this red asphalt) clearly establish priority and command driver attention.

Big pumpkin vibes

We checked in sixty two bikes and scooters at yesterday's Harvest Festival in Kirkland. And one giant wagon dropped off by a frazzled but grateful parent.

Thank you! It's the electric Azor Amsterdam

I'm on the way home with dinner and the ONLY reason I chose this restaurant is because it's in a dense, walkable area that I can get to safely from where I bought the blender
