dataset 1.0 vs. 1.1. The demand paths make a difference, particularly in explaining how the full infrastructure areas fit together.

Beautiful morning for a mt bike ride after overnight rain, which brought out a lot of Red Efts with birds in full song.

New blog post!

In which I write how I replaced Strava with my own private solution that does not depend on any cloud service.

And also some stories about the bikes I owned.

The trail markers of MTB trails showcase the poetry of creation. Made by volunteers, when you ride these at the end your legs, lungs, and soul agree: 'apt'. Let's do that one more time...

I'm working on one of my bikes and it seems my spanner wrench is too... Conventional. A 13 is too small and a 14 too big?!

NPR today:

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."

“I’m wondering if something subliminal has happened after reading Bicycling Monterey. I’ve been riding the Rock Island Greenway Trail for the last week and a half. Just a wonderful and beautiful ride! It’s not Monterey, California, but a real gem for Peoria, Illinois.”—Richard Coers

Okay! New map! The attachment is the first representation of dataset 1.1, using a lot of dotted green lines (as per the Seattle map legend) to show non-bike-signed routes commonly used by people biking.

(It's not full resolution because Mastodon shrinks it.)

It also includes a couple of actual bike-supporting routes I missed in dataset 1.0, and a lot more dirt/loose gravel trails, particularly in unincorporated King County and on the northern Eastside. But there's bits of adds everywhere.

The dotted green is experimental. Feedback is definitely requested.

Full resolution is at Github, select the map labelled "EXPERIMENTAL":

One thing working with the version 1.1 dataset is telling me is that if there are some pretty obvious-seeming ways that an un-notated map would tell you to go... but the heat data says nobody does that.

And that's the value of including these green dashed lines, because ... that lack of heat data says there's a reason not go do there.

Like Redmond-Woodinville road. There's lots of heat on it until suddenly there really isn't.

But there are on two side roads.

That's where the bike lanes stop and everybody gets RIGHT the fuck off. People going to Woodinville divert out of their way over to Sammamish River and people going to Tolt Pipeline divert towards 112th via 156th, despite both of those being longer routes.

And I don't know the reason. I can make some pretty good guesses, but they're guesses.

But I don't need to; the heat map tells me what's up.

Has anyone here used the Avondale Road barely-marked "bike lanes" from around the Power Line Trail up to NE 132nd? Because on Google Maps they lack things like "this is a bike lane" markers except at the very, very end. Right now I've marked them as dual sharerows because of how bad they look to me. But are they secretly okay in person?

Another boring story but I do mention radicalization so that's interesting...

There’s a bike policy ride this Saturday in where you can hear and ask questions about infrastructure projects to reduce car dependence in the city.

Scenes from this morning's mt bike ride.

rasterweb, to Milwaukee
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

My bike ride today was only 4.5 miles... It was pretty windy and started to rain so I called it and headed home.

The great thing about the cemetery is that when you reach an intersection you often have multiple choices and some might be uphill, some might be downhill, or flat, so you can choose your adventure.
