So would you really bike in this 🌨️? I wouldn’t drive in it.
If I had to get somewhere, then yes. Dress warmly & just ride.
Don’t know how you can do that. Aren’t you afraid of cars hitting you.
If they can’t see they shouldn’t be driving. Not me restricting myself riding.

Thankful for my wife… yep, that’s new
And for her learning about living car-lessened and what’s that’s meant for me broadening my means of helping others understand this posture
Def looking towards moving into a better-bikeable lifestyle w/her

Can we brainstorm some cycling hot takes to create some controversies at the table tomorrow?

Interesting tech here. Am wondering about the RLS compared to MIPS. But glad to see some of the fit choices here.

Playing with Gemini a bit today… one of these moments I’ll like these enhanced products enough to hire them full time. For now, lots of learning about the edges of what I think is possible versus what pans out

There is an argument that’s not too dissimilar to this I talk about when we speak about ebikes, speed, & non-urban contexts.
Would’ve been nice to see some of the research that backs up his assertions. Solid points in parts of this nonetheless. Being seen is safety

You might not like it, but faster electric bikes can be safer. Here's why
There’s a popular belief that slower equals safer. The concept is not entirely without merit, but it doesn’t apply universally,...

Sunday, Nov 16th joined a few thousand to rally around efforts to improve the safety of persons on/around our roadways. The Ride for Your Life event (lnkd.in/ejZFCAaT) brought together families/allies of those who have been victims of road violence

Honestly, this was exactly the city I was thinking about during yesterday's remarks at DC's Ride for Life rally. I get (and affirm many) V0 desires, but the speed and will to get there is disappointing.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Just finished an impromptu connect w/a fellow Brompton owner. Kind of nice to chat about the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social, what mobility looks like from my neck of MD, and challenges of "n+1" when there are others in the home.
Certainly need to do these a bit more often (non-meetup style that is)

Really neat to get out today w/my wife on a group bike ride. A ride that means more since it was the Ride for Your Life event.
It can be hard for many to associate w/such events, or even the temp closure of streets to advocate for safety. And yet, some folks want to live better. This was insightful

Spent the day with the brilliant Labs frame glasses in a more normal context. Definitely need to get my "super prompt" development in gear and then be ready for the Halo glasses when those come later this year / early next year

One of the better reviews of the Brompton G-line I’ve read & watched 👏🏾👏🏾🚵🏾♂️
Larger wheels, wider tires, and more range make the G Line Alvin Holbrook's favorite Brompton yet, even if the folding bike doesn't easily fit in an airplane overhead compartment anymore. https://bit.ly/47FqUFg

Legs arent as young as they used to be… so after a few days of cycling fun, giving things a break makes sense…
…of course this means also some window shopping for stuff. There’s a Brompton evolution happening, along w/homework for other brands.

Getting a chance to pedal a few different wheels the past days. First was Trek’s Checkpoint+ SL7 with the new RockShox Rudy XPLR. Today has me with Trek’s Domane SL5
Interesting rolls. Familiar to my usual rides but different. Getting my notes together for perhaps a longer narration.
