Before helmets and bike lanes, this little adventurer was taking the street by storm on their tiny trike. Traffic's not stopping this determined biker.



This is C. Sundts gate in the #Nordnes area of #Bergen, sometime in the late 50s. If you stood at this exact point today, it would be quite similar – but the signs and businesses have been replaced many times over.

I wonder how feasible it would be to make a wearable version of something like this for the back of your bike or a backpack...

Maybe just the "Your Speed" part of it (or the "Speed Limit" could be done digitally).

Imagine passing someone on a bike and they show you the actual speed limit along with your speed.

Crazy idea or not? Possible? (I think so.)

Today, I visited Greta Garbo in Skogskyrkogården in Enschede, Stockholm. This is the finest cemetery I know and it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bicycling in this huge cemetery is an utmost calm activity, seeing all the graveyard stones in memory of all kinds of people peacefully next to each other. Back in town with all its noise, one wonders why people are hurrying all the time. Many of them sit in their far to big cars and chase I don't know what.

My new favorite response to "I never see anyone using the bike lane" comments:

"That's because bikes don't get stuck in traffic."

Bicycling in the rain and hauling a refrigerator and kids is something that comes up a lot less than critics of bicycling as transportation think.

Fair weather bicyclists often find that their definition of fair weather expands the more they bicycle.

They start thinking about the times they *can* bicycle as opposed to the tikes they can't.

Utterly impractical, terrible by any modern standards, but my goodness it would be pretty hanging in the rafters somewhere.

Follow-up #camping #gear question!

Thanks again for the help. After some reflection on previous solo-camping with toddler I realise a key thing to yr round happiness is a better sleeping pad.

The high R-value ones we have are bulky. So I'm considering a strong somewhat "lightweight/compact" duo pad*.

Combined with a <2kg tent (Hubba 2p) I'm ok transporting this.

Any ideas / experiences with this setup?
