And our last question of the week:
-
@ascentale @bikenite @ajft
#bikenite That's a problem here as well and our state bike advocacy group has a legislative agenda initiative to legally define e-motos, so e-bikes are protected against regulations intended for the former. But our advocacy day at the Minnesota Capitol was cancelled due to safety concerns with the DHS/ICE occupation here. -
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!

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.

@NNN @ascentale @bikenite Didn't they use vaseline on lenses for shooting soap operas? Not sure I need that drama.

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
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." -

A8. Bicycled on the Root River Trail towards Houston as far as could before the snow got too deep.

@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.
-
@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
@josh @ascentale @bikenite oh yikes

@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

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....
