FREEDOM: "banning books and controlling women's bodies"
GOVERNMENT OVERREACH: "safety regulations on baby formula" 🤦

car supremacy is when you put a speed bump on the bikeway but not the street.

You guys are still running windows?

Correction: that is lower than 30% women in #Portland (of people on bikes) and it drops to 18% in east Portland! A key factor that changes this is #ProtectedBikeLanes / #BanCars from the bike lanes at least. "We need to be doing a lot more very wide spaces for people on bikes."

#notAllMen but a notable handful of them on bikes are not without blame here, delivering 4-5% of the harassment ... which kinda corresponds to the bike mode share 😒

55% of people on bikes in Utrecht are women, yet only 30% in London and Portland.
Presenting to the Portland Bicycle Advisory committee right now, @CathyTuttle on the survey of women on biking. 😒 Close passes inflicted on women 4x as frequently as men??? #BikeTooter #pdxBikes

@CloudyMrs maybe if they paid a fair share of the road construction and maintenance. I mean the drivers.

my startup idea is your teenager cleans their room without being asked

#30daysOfBiking carried partner and kid home from after-school errands on the xtracycle. Really should be taking the tandem+trailerbike as better able to carry them both but partner doesn't like the forced pedaling of being chained to my crank. 10yo kid prefers the supercargo, like an absolute princess, but I don't have a great rear seat (footrests) arrangement for partner on that. 🤔 Maybe there's a madsen with electric stoker treadles in my future. Or xtracycle the edgerunner...

this fuckin guy in a #tesla is making all of the guys in a tesla look like jerks

Testing this flexible solar panel for the electric bakfiets roof, looking at 20-50W realistic rate with sub-optimal exposure and a lot of clouds, it's a 100W panel. With the 1.6lb box it's 5.2lb, probably 10-12lb by the time I have a stiff enough roof mounted, (articulated?) and charging the bike battery. What should I make the roof out of?

Now 6-8W #solar #pdxtst light rain over Hillsdale

And heavy rain, 1W
