Bit by bit, your city is either building a connected network of safe access, or it isn’t. Despite some impressive forward movement in some areas, my suburb-city isn’t. Bit-by-bit, it is eroding its potential and skirting its responsibility by installing inadequate or no bike infrastructure on main roads that lead to schools, parks, places of…

Wait for the red car
Wait for the red car in the video above. I am using #BikeNoodle (which sticks out two-and-a-half feet/about .8 meters from my back bike rack and which the driver did not hit) so that’s actually a legal distance away (unless the three-feet/one meter legal-passage measurement is from the handlebars, which, now that I think about…

Sprouts
The Sprouts supermarket less than a mile from my home is closing December 23, after a five-year lease. I go there almost daily, often while Traveling at the Speed of Bike. Based on this calculation, I figure I’ve spent more than $25,000 there. They got their money’s worth with that bike rack. The ride to…
