@hannah Is this a Pete and Pete reference?!? I hope everyone remembers to eat lots of riboflavin.

It is WAY too difficult to get from #Seattle to Anacortes without driving there. How is there no direct public transit service between the state’s biggest city and one of its biggest ferry terminals?

There are five family cargo bikes at the playground right now. No, there was not a meet up. This is just normal now. #SEAbikes

I swear I remember there being an unofficial bike map of Portland. This way maybe in 2010? Is that still around? #BikePDX #PDX

This seems bad. https://www.bicycleretailer.com/recalls/2023/09/21/shimano-recalls-760-000-hollowtech-road-cranks-after-receiving-4-500-incident Check your crankset. And maybe do something nice for your local bike mechanics who are going to have to deal with this headache. This is a big recall.

Oh look, two of my interests have combined into one: Mozilla user privacy analysis finds that “Cars Are the Worst Product Category We Have Ever Reviewed for Privacy” https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/articles/its-official-cars-are-the-worst-product-category-we-have-ever-reviewed-for-privacy/ While car companies don’t care at all about the well-being of people outside their vehicles, they don’t care about the people inside them, either.

Seattle sometimes forgets how great it is that our biggest tourist attraction is actually also genuinely awesome. Pike Place Market is the best. It is a great place to get local food and creative goods. Every time I hear some local try to dis it like it is Times Square, I shake my head. Maybe at crush cruise ship times it can be too packed, but usually it is simply wonderful. I go there every weekday doing preschool drop-off, and it never gets old.

I'm getting an award! https://www.seattlebikeblog.com/2023/05/01/im-getting-an-award/ #SEAbikes

The kiddo learned how to make a bicycle at Bike and Pike at R+E Cycles. #SEAbikes #Seattle #Bicycles

Hey all of downtown Seattle, be quiet for a second. I’m trying to listen for the leak in my tire. #SEAbikes
