@ascentale @bikenite A8: DINOSAUR SKIN
actual, from a specimen from a dig in, uh. shit. Montana? Pretty sure it's the Montana dig.
Technically this is fossilized _impression_ of dinosaur skin. But... dinosaur skin.

@cainmark @ascentale @bikenite Honestly that was the coolest part to me, because SOFT TISSUE HOLY SHIT
here are some ribs, too, they are not soft tissue but still ^_^

@bikenite A8. The city of Berkeley is rebuilding an older modal filter that used to be a large diameter, horizontal section of metal pipe. I am not sure if this is better but

A8.
It's very winter here in Ontario, not biking weather but it's super pretty. Kiddo got this photo on the way home from the city today.

That's what it looks like here too. The sky was so thick with clouds and snow that my solar panels barely collected any energy at all.

@ascentale @bikenite These new ones are so low profile that they barely qualify as suggestions let alone prevention. Bah.

@ajft @ascentale @bikenite WA has a bill that will start to distinguish these e-motos from e-bikes and begin the process of having stricker requirements around the former. Hoping it passes. e-motos could be good alternative for motorcycles or cars, but shouldn't be allowed on bike trails/lanes and should have to get a drivers license of some sort. Too dangerous for young kids.

@ascentale @bikenite a8. On my lovely ride along the Seattle waterfront today I noticed a new "Fentanyl Free America" billboard from DEA.gov. Kinda creeped me out as the current administration (or even prior ones to a lesser extent) doesn't give a shit about fentanyl and seems to just use the panic to attack its enemies and US allies. Rest of the ride was lovely

@bikenite @ascentale @bikeboston.bsky.social was fed up with the state of our bike lanes, two weeks after a snow storm, so we spent the afternoon fixing a few blocks that #Boston has ignored

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8: Last year I rode ~2500km on my new #BromptonElectricGLine and I'm quite happy with it. I feared that I'd no longer use my 16" #Brompton, but especially in the past few months, I noticed situations where I prefer the smaller and more lightweight 16" Brompton, e.g. on train journeys and generally everywhere where I have to pull or carry it for longer distances.
Here's a recent selfie with the 16" Brompton in a multilayered window of some university building.

A8. Two photos from last week.
The first is Trail 65 at Ft. Ord National Monument. It is one of the best single track trails out there for hiking or biking. It has great wildflower displays in the spring (or -- this year -- in the winter).
The flowering shrub is Flannel Bush (Fremontodendron californicum), with a bit of Ceanothus in the back.
John C. Fremont was an "interesting" character....

jealous of all the folks ridin
yes i could get out there. but..."Chicago’s streak of sub-freezing days came to a merciful end Friday morning when the mercury finally hit 32 degrees for the first time in 20 days.
..
The deep freeze peaked — or cratered — Jan. 23-24, with highs in the single digits & lows of minus 11 & minus 10 degrees below 0. Those were actual air temperatures; wind chills made it feel more like minus 20 or minus 30."@rustoleumlove @ai6yr @ascentale @bikenite brrr! same weather we’ve been having here in the Hudson Valley. I don’t think it’s been above freezing for 3 weeks now. And this weekend we’ll have it even colder than it has been, since we’re going to have a lot of wind. Next week’s forecast is still below freezing….

@ascentale @bikenite A8: This past week has been tough, but today I found an unexpected mood-brightener. Look at this book! I found it in a children’s shop, and the illustrations are so charming and the story so heartwarming that I bought a copy for a friend who has two little kids (she’s struggling too)
The girls ride bikes into the forest at night and find all kinds of delightful magic (as one does in the US, right???)
Part of a series of books, the kids always ride bikes.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. #BikeNite Not a photo from this week, but my brother has been scanning slides from my parents' collection and he just posted this scene from 1986, when we went to his graduation from UCSB. I only vaguely remember being there, but I definitely remember a massive amount of bikes in front of one of the dorms (Francisco Torres).

Q8. This week I experienced a beautiful, spring-like day at the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Hulst, the Netherlands
Day two was less spring-like but it didn't affect an amazing weekend.I saw lots of friends and met someone new I had previously only known through Mastodon

@ascentale @bikenite #BikeNite A8 We saw this beach firsthand for the first time in an embarrassingly long time! Friends and family who are landlocked are usually surprised we don’t get on the beach more.
We love walking barefoot in the water! And every time we do, and experience again what good medicine that is, we’re reminded to do it more often—as we used to.
What made us stop that formerly frequent habit? We were knocked down on 3 separate occasions by off-leash dogs—on this beach where leashes are required. The dog owners were not at all apologetic or caring.
Third time caused an injury that put a halt to our beach walks for a long time. In contrast, we’ve never been knocked down by a dog while biking.
We do like dogs and have owned and dearly loved several. We just don’t like irresponsible dog owners.
