I'd like to push to install these ground anchors in any repaved or new parking spaces, and make those parking spaces usable by bikes. Why not? You're devoting public space to vehicle storage, make it work for our vehicles, too. Cars can roll right over them if they're not in use. Put 3-5 of them in each space and you make far more efficient use of the space, too. #BikeTooter
I am in a little corner of France that is almost Switzerland and almost Germany. This evening the street I’m staying on was closed off for some local time trial action. ‘Tis the season. #BikeTooter#TourDeFrance#TouringFrance
@ai6yr In #Atlanta we have a yearly group ride during the Atlanta Cycling Festival called the donut ride! TL;DR they go to 3 or 4 different donut places around the city. The hardcore people get a donut at each of them (I do not do that part lest I vomit)!
Today's delivery run by bike. All the parcels that I send begin their journey by bike, and are taken for a short journey on the cycling infrastructure which exists between my home and the post office.
In this example there's a single direction cycle-path which becomes bidirectional at the junction just ahead of my bike. The reason why this happens is to allow visitors to the shops behind the hedge on the right to make their journey without having to cross the road twice. Bidirectional cycle-paths substantially improve cyclist safety and convenience when they prevent road crossing in this way.
Here’s a map that shows the area where the Provincetown Select Board is proposing to ban people from riding bikes but allow people
to drive cars. It encompasses Commercial St through the center of town from the library all the way to the Canteen restaurant. You can read our statement about the proposal and our suggestions for ways to improve safety on the street: https://bikescape.org/pedal-blog/dont-ban-bikes#Provincetown#CapeCod#SafeStreets#traffic#mapoli#bicycle#cycling#BikeTooter
I am slowly getting aware of the powerful concept of multi-mode bicycling with the #Brompton. I can just hop on any local bus wherever there is a bus stop. This extends the range which I can reach within a weekend tour tremendously. I started my recent three-day tour in Stockholm, took a bus to Norrtälje (2.30 €), then took another bus out to the island of Björkö, which cost me another 2.30 €. After 3 hours I was in the middle of the beauty of the Archipelago. (1/2)
“I’m making a whole city! There are roads and tracks and roads crossing over the tracks! And buildings!” There are also many bus stops and a museum. (Grateful for washable markers) #urbanism#transit#PublicTransport#trains#bike#BikeTooter
