Punk rock didn't save the world, but it should have.
I try to stay on topic, but you're going to get random posts about housing, gardening, preserving/canning, dogs, and baseball.

Here are some riders crossing the Cahuenga Pass, which the 101 passes through, in 1897.
When someone says you need a gravel bike, remember "All bikes are gravel bikes."

My Vaya gets neglect so I took it for a little ride today.
Few things I noticed:
8-10 lbs are noticeable.
Bikes are still geared too high, but a 52/42/30 11-28 on a light touring bike is stupid. One of these days I need to swap all that out.

Admittedly, it was hard to get into many accidents when it wouldn't start.

This is a real official looking sign closing part a my local bike trail for 2 months.
They would never close a road for 2 months with a shitty little sign like this.

Whenever the idea of breaking California in 2 comes up, the idea that the inland areas are conservative is floated.
For Southern CA, that's not true. Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino handedly are passing Prop 50.
Riverside and SB are the 4th & 5 most populous counties in the state.

Took a pic of bike parking today because I seldom see other bikes. Unfortunately, one of these bikes despite having 2 locks, isn't locked to anything.

43,000 Americans are killed by motorists every year. 2.4 million are injured. 3 children every day die on our roads.
About 250 die on transit.
That should deter people from driving.

So we were out walking the dogs tonight, downtown on the pedestrian mall. A Tesla blew through this stop sign at 30 mph to pull into the parking garage the next block. I followed him to yell at him, but he didn't bat an eye.
The attendant said Tesla drivers are the worst.
But bikes are the problem

This seems to say that only new Tier I stops will be eligible.
