Usually, car externalities are felt slowly and continually over the life of a car, and through our history of car dependence. Here, it literally flies at you in the blink of eye. “Not my problem!”

I’ve been bequeathed a small Suntour derailleur collection. That vx is super light, but 26 max cog 😳. If you’re a young, strong, racing-type retro-grouch (does not exist), hit me up.

If you don't want to pay the fine, don't do the crime. Or just whine, I guess.

From a sunny morning downtown.

Support public schools if for no other reason to resist this bullshit. sfstandard.com/2025/09/19/a...

And I got the check out the beacon/15th bike lanes to head downtown. Then used the 6th/airport way bike lanes to head to Georgetown. So much more bike infrastructure than doing this just a year ago.

Here’s a kid biking to school, who probably wouldn’t be, if not for the Columbian protected bike lanes. You live to see it.

Can’t park there, mate.

georgetown.

Saw 4 large black SUVs followed by like 10 random cars busting ass through Sodo, maybe to Boeing Field. Anyone know what/who that's about?

The smoke sure is swirling around today.

Just imagining the good we could do in 5 years time if all the money and resources that we're throwing at AI went to building housing and trains instead. But I guess no one gets rich in that scenario.

Incredible animation. No notes. [from Reddit]

"I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the International Communist Conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids"

People commonly say their street is too narrow for bike lanes. Too few question if it’s too narrow for parking.

One of the best things about the ricoh gr series, aside from the ridiculously good lens, is the bit of internal memory, so when you inevitably leave your sd card in your computer some day, you can still get some shots. More cameras should do this.

When your Casio enters power saving mode.

When the street is so bad a business goes all in the parking lot side, northgate edition.

it's pretty radicalizing to become a parent in Seattle and realize that your child being able to do wholesome af stuff like this is at odds with the entire centrist political establishment, who consider their safety a luxury instead of a baseline requirement of urban living.

No courtesy among drivers. Pedal down as fast possible, all the time, no exceptions. Rather crash into another car than cease acceleration. My favorite is the suburban road where there’s an endless line of cars, and no one will ease up on the gas to let a car in from a side street or driveway in.

Chartering a bus for the Seattle tree people to go to greater Black Diamond. I know how this works. Some folks with jobs in Seattle will buy these houses and commute for a year or two until their souls are crushed and either quit or move.

We know that transit is a lot safer than driving no matter how you slice it, and cities built to encourage transit trips see far less people dying on their streets. Making transit faster and more reliable has to be a part of the work to get Portland to zero traffic deaths.

Hahaha.

Hey #bikesky peeps, check this cool art-delivery method out! Could be really fun for slow rolls and bike jams!

Here's another reason why Chicago Botanic Gardens' recent decision to start charging entrance fees for people who walk/bike/transit there in order to lower car parking costs was a bad idea. The phytophile Mecca just got booted from a guidebook because of it. chi.streetsblog.org/2022/03/07/b...

It's time for Seattle to build nice things for bus riders, not just cruise ship tourists.

Canada‘s leadership is underestimating how little demand there will be for fossil fuels on the international market in a just few years. When everyone can make free energy from the sun, and store it in batteries, geopolitics is going to get weird.

When people elsewhere ask what the difference between here and Portland is, it’s exactly this. Portland lets neighborhoods be neighborhoods in a way Seattle will never, and is more exciting for it

Good deal on good tourer/commuter. Discs, triple crank, bar ends, and room for big meats.

Same shot, other way.

It's cool that guys making tens of millions are like, "yeah one benefit of signing here is I don't have to give a small amount of money to fund public schools and disability services," and we treat this as shrewd navigating rather than an abomination.

If tree concerns are going to prevent this from being repaired properly, fine, one lane of LWB becomes permanent mulit-use trail then.

Morning shadows.

When I'm on foot or on my bike what color should I wear to distract them from their meeting? Wouldn't want to interrupt someone's super important meeting with my inconvenient death.

Your truck too big. And it makes things harder and shittier for everyone else.

Spin little circles like Tadej.

The most important safety tool in every micromobility rider's kit -- the strategic YO

I would love for the energy spent saving one tree in Seattle to instead be directed towards saving the thousands of trees that are cut each year for our sprawling suburbs and rural estates.

The massive construction of apartments in postwar urban Canada – principally Toronto – produced homes for the middle class and the working class. Millions of people to date. Density isn’t a magic wand, but: It made a difference, in the real world, in living memory.

Looks crispy.

Which apartment building did this?

You or someone you know give searing side eye to drivers who go too fast on neighborhood streets or around schools? Put it to use.

Hey safe streets nerds! Do you work flexible hours? Have a cool retired parent looking to stay active? Become a school crossing guard! Look at all those unfilled positions! Make it easier for your neighborhood kids to walk and bike to school! www.seattleschools.org/news/crossin...

Many of us have been warning for years that drivers vs. everyone was the frontier of the culture war, and here we are. Republicans are now canceling pedestrian and bike safety grants.

And if you think that red car is gonna pass the not squishy yellow car that close, lol. It’s going right down the middle, human be damned.

🎶 There’s a crosswalk (Northgate) 🎵 Every six blocks (Northgate) 🎶 You’re gonna take your life in your hands…

The kid woke up puking in the middle of the night last night and I’ve been a zombie all day, so this all feels like a bad dream.

I wish roundaboutcels would reckon with how awful they are in terms of land use, not to mention pedestrian experience. woof.
