@sundance.bikesky.social first commute with the lanesaber this morning! A few streets where I’ve consistently had annoying close passes have been completely quelled.

you might be surprised by this, even shocked, but a lightweight, nicely fitted road bike is slightly more engaging to ride than a hundred pound cargo e-bike with another hundred pounds of children on the back.

I enjoy riding next to the ocean, but maybe not this close

Eating ice cream for breakfast after a long bike ride:

Guess we’re late for school

I will never be this cool :(

But I can’t bike around all the time, what if I need to carry 70lbs of cat supplies home?

Interesting selection at the work bike rack today

every time I see “load-bearing”, I move a tiny fraction closer to a big red button that says Butlerian Jihad.

Fresh bike lane on my way to the dentist this morning 🤤

Marmots, welcome to the @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Here we see the rare feral rack. It’s been living in the brush for some time now, and has grown unaccustomed to the presence of its natural companion, the bicycle.

😭

Taking advantage of the EV charging at work

Always a good sign that the city engineering department is taking resident concerns seriously and using road design to force safe driver behavior. /s

for when you need just one more trace in a difficult to route design.

Los Angeles is pretty alright sometimes.

Bikes just aren’t practical if you’ve got kids and need to go to the hardware store. /s

Y’all ever just

me flying up the coast on a little out and back: ha ha ha, yes me turning around into a stiff headwind: well this fucking sucks, what the fuck

Man, between family and work it’s been rough for getting time on the bike, but I managed to spin out 40 miles this morning, and my legs are sore but I am so pleased.

sick and tired of e-bikes being advertised with dangerous stunts that are absolutely illegal on public roads. /s

North American traffic engineers continue to find new and exciting ways to avoid any hint of bike accommodations near intersections

Only the key information on my bike computer for the commute home.

The people yearn for more bike parking

idk man, this street looks pretty open to me

Little buddy heard my snacks crinkle in my bag and wandered if he could score

This is America, I guess.

Bike to school drop off and then to vote? With a cargo bike, it’s more likely than you’d think!

Farewell, little bike rack.

Marginal improvements have been made

I can’t believe e-bikes did this. /s

Cargo bike got a flat tire, my wings are clipped :(

Man, it cost me $80 to fill my car’s gas tank the other day, glad being mostly on my bike means it should be another two months before I need to fill it again.

A new low for CalTrans: A bike lane that’s striped to be literally entirely within the gutter

I don’t think she cares about baseball

Someday I’ll be this cool

Things they don’t warn you about when you buy a longtail: Your three year old will have chocolate on his face, and will end up sticking his face into the back of your shirt, leaving you with chocolate on the back of your shirt

I would like to see the MUTCD for this jurisdiction
