Bike/politics crossover: if youāre in the US and have been thinking about buying a bike/ebike, now might be a good time to buy from the inventory of your local bike shop. Theyāll need the support and itās likely supply will be constrained soon. And hey, biking would save you money, too.

Last fall, I was tired of hearing that support for bikes came from a narrow minority of Berkeley, so I commissioned a poll to ask how broad support is here. The answer is that the vast majority of the city, 73%āand even a majority of people who do not bikeāsupport adding more bike infrastructure.

Yes, you should have to pay to park in Golden Gate Park
San Franciscans are used to a high standard when it comes to their parks. Thatās about to change unless the department can scrape together funds, fast.

like how the secret of Jenga is that the blocks vary in size (by less than a millimeter, but that's enough to matter). the interesting task of preserving slop within assembly line processes.

the best way to address safety concerns on public transit is to increase riderships. giving more money to cops is a much worse investment than increasing transit service and making driving less convenient
