And our last question of the week:

@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.

@ascentale @bikenite A8. Early for spring, but my monarch hatched! I was disappointed I didn’t get to witness it, happened much faster than I 5hought it would. And they reopened the bay trail around shoreline in Mountain View. I’ll take any positive news I can get. #BikeNite

A8. Very busy this week. Photo of the conditions of most of my bicycle usage this week, in the dark (w/light!) to and from classes. Probably overkill (to and from the parking lot), but it really speeds up my commute, much better on the feet than all that cement, and no traffic so kind of fun to be able to go flying down a street at speed without feeling like you're going to be gored by vehicles. #BikeNite

Out of control, off-leash dogs are my cycling nemesis, having been knocked off my bike once and bitten multiple times, once rather badly. I've found that verbally confronting the owners ALWAYS ends badly. They don't care and rules don't apply to them.
One the other hand, the majority of dog owners with their dogs off leash on our city trails (despite our local ordinance) have instant verbal control and the dog at heel on command.

And our last question of the week:

Q8. It's photo time. It is starting to feel springlike in Northern California, though this may be temporary. What did you see this week? Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@ascentale @bikenite A8: What I didn't see this week (well, yesterday) was the road due to freezing rain collecting on my glasses. I had to stop three times over 15 miles to thaw and wipe my glasses. Anyone know if Cat Crap would have helped with this? #BikeNite

@DurableAce @ascentale @bikenite

Not sure. Your other photo was near the water crossing. This is the first of the hotdogs in the Windmill arena - the bit where you cannot hear yourself think. I am literally 10m from the windmill and the bank of speakers for the crazzee dj

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @bikenite I watched all of the races on Sunday and two on Saturday in the windmill arena. The photo I posted was taken during a course recce on Saturday morning.

@ascentale @bikenite A8 Today, so perhaps stretching as this week, but saw a steam train go by while out for a ride earlier on. #BikeNite

@MatthewNewell @ascentale @bikenite This was taken from my spot on Sunday.

A8: 5 years ago I was riding my mother in law's bike in the snow in Helsinki, Finland

Holding to those memories to avoid depressing with the rain

@ascentale @bikenite @jfparis

Is that a bike term like "omafiets", except one that transliterates to " mother-in-law" instead of to "grandma"?
