Joy and Rage on Two Wheels: A Q&A With DC’s Bike Booster
WABA’s Elizabeth Kiker on bike lanes and other issues.

"E-bikes are magical. The people we’re trying to reach, the [ages] eight to 80, the kids, the elderly, the women, the people who may not be in the best shape of their lives, e-bikes transform lives."

To get people out of cars, it's absolutely to get the elderly on bicycles. I'm not talking about people in their 90s; but getting the 50-to-80s cadre cycling will change society. It will end forever the image of the cyclist as an arrogant young man, and make cycling obviously what it is: functional, sensible, the most essential way to save our climate, and to save our health #Cycling #Age #OvertonWindow

I learned a surprisingly amount from this page about forces involved in bicycles, from the ride to their construction. Starting from scratch and peppered with interactive animations, it's a treasure that keeps on giving.

Cycling is bad for the economy
(ht Eileen Kiffin)
#cycling
CYCLING IS BAD FOR THE ECONOMY Hilarious but true too A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy -

He does not buy the car & does not take a car loan - Does not buy car insurance - Does not buy Fuel - Does not send his car for servicing & repairs -

Does not use paid Parking - Does not become Obese Yes,.....and well, damn it I! Healthy people are not needed for economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to Hospitals & Doctors. They add nothing to country's GDP. On the contrary, every new fast food outlet creates at least 30 jobs - 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 weight loss experts apart from people working in the outlet. Choose wisely: A Cyclistora KFC ? Worth thinking about!!

PS: Walking is even worse. They do not even buy a bicycle!!


Help! #Cycling is over for now!

Here are some of my favorite shots from my rides over the past few days. The rides mostly covered familiar territory, but it was nice seeing the colors of Spring emerging again! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) #cycling #bicycle #Seattle #photography #photog #photo @bicycling @mastobikes

I like both #LEGO bricks and #cycling, but this is just ridiculous. Having wide enough safe bike lanes in real life is a must for a variety of reasons. Just having bike lanes in official LEGO sets is great and enough.

But having wide enough bike lanes for plastic figure who can’t bend their knees is utterly futile. LEGO isn’t about realistic proportions anyway, so if it ever makes it to an official product, it will look off just compared to roads for example.

I wouldn’t have minded the initiative if the LEGO Ideas project page was linking to a real cycling safety initiative. After all the creator is a city councilperson. But it currently doesn’t, so it looks like it’s about making LEGO bike lanes wider for the sake of it, and I’m having none of it.
