The bakfiets roof would be in front of me (and it already has an aluminum frame that might hold up the panel.) So, it wouldn't be as high and wobbly as this build ended up. Shade for me would be nice but I'm torn between it being a rain roof vs tilting to give better shade / get better solar.

if you're using a proprietary e-bike battery like bosch or shimano, you may have to use an AC charger and batch swap between two batteries, but you should expect to use more than you charge, so that's not as useful as a range extension when only collecting 10-50W.

The trike certainly takes care of the stability concerns, check out this solar velomobile

@bobjonkman @MylesRyden @trevorflowers you might be amazed at how quickly technology would eliminate shitty jobs when people have to be convinced rather than coerced into doing them.

out here sweeping under-protected bike lanes because PBOT doesn't have a solution for the problem they designed #BikeLaneSweeper @bikeloudpdx

and the sidewalks, if there aren't too many poles in the way

slightly dusty, what with cars grinding the roads into oblivion, aided by the gravel for one day of snow.

@esnyder I'm just volunteer tester for BikeLoud, who are passing this around and giving feedback to the makers, trying to get better design and maintenance policy from the transportation agencies here on the ground. The website seems okay afaict

If there's enough money at risk of being lost, this was definitely assassination.

@forteller at 75/yr, yeah it's like three deaths every two weeks, just within the city.

"People keep dying in crashes on #Portland’s streets, 15 so far this year. [#transportation] #Infrastructure isn’t the only reason for that—but it’s the factor that’s most fully the city’s responsibility, and most directly under the city’s control, and we still aren’t doing as much as we can." #VisionZero #pdxBikes 💯 @bikeloudpdx members putting it on the record every week

This video constantly has people on bikes going by in the background because they made a NETWORK of low-stress connected bike lanes, with space and existing pavement that was not efficiently used by cars. It goes where you want to go without having to elbow your way into car traffic... for short trips, why wouldn't you bike? #ClimateAction #CarsRuinCities #BikewayNetwork #BanCars #CarsStink #GeometryHatesCars #TacticalUrbanism #PublicSpace #Bollards #FuckCars #JFDI

@BalooUriza @carraway If satan is coming for the cars, we need to rethink our view of good and evil.

@jcriecke @benfulton “People love their personal automobiles. They love [to sit in traffic] they love the ability to go when they want, where they want, how they want. [ and to unexpectedly sit in traffic whenever a handful of other people want to drive at that same time, or if a couple drivers smash their freedom boxes together and nobody can use the intersection for two hours, or if there's some inclement weather, or a ball game, or ... ]”

@drwho @spv @malwaretech @rcs The rideshare companies would probably get so busy that you needed to share a vehicle with other people. Might even get bigger vehicles that seat like 50 and just send one down a regular route every five minutes.

Love that little apology wave drivers do "Sorry! I'm bad at driving."

"I don't want to be driving, I'm just scared to bike along a stripe of paint with someone who drives like me on the other side."
