#BikeTooter
Day 15 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Ancona -> Civitanova Marche (45 km, a short but special stage: enchanting #landscapes and #buildings ,and steep climbs [450 m elevation gain] sometimes even pushing my #bike — I'm really getting #old ).
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PSA for the day: DO NOT BUY (or let your kids buy) random branded bicycle helmets off Amazon. A lot of them ABSOLUTELY FAIL US safety standards. If you are going to buy a helmet nowadays, buy a MIPS helmet. #bicycles #helmets #bikes #BikeTooter

Day 11 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : #Ravenna -> Cesenatico (52 km, departing in the morning at #Dante 's grave on the 704th anniversary of his #death [hence the red roses] and arriving in the afternoon at the #Adriatic#Sea—the perfect day.).
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Full cycle rack at a play date. Left to right: my wife's Tern, my Roubaix, and a friend's Rad. Mine is probably the least likely to be stolen among those...
[Add] I took the Roubaix instead of my do-it-all bike because we were running late and I wasn't confident that I'd be able to ride as fast as my wife on the flat-bar gravel bike... 😅

I’m 50 something years old and live with my spouse, a teenager, a cat, and two dogs. My oldest two children are away at college.
For the last 14 years I’ve biked for transportation. I follow the #BikeTooter and #BikeNite tags.
I build software in the film industry, which is a big part of my rebooted identity as an artist.
The folks at work are full of creative energy. When I bring them up, I'm aware of my luck and privilege.

I love this chart. The simple truth is that road wear isn't caused equally by all road users, and it isn't even a linear relationship to vehicle mass.
It's GEOMETRIC.
Estimates of road wear use the FOURTH power of axle load.

Me + my bike, fully loaded: 200Kg
Toyota RAV4, dry mass: 1500Kg, 2 axles
2 * (7504) / 2004 ≈ 395
Nearly FOUR HUNDRED TIMES more road damage. Be serious.

hey #SFBA#Oakland #BikeTooter -- is it still legal to ride a bike on the shoulder of Highway 24 from Fish Ranch to Orinda?

Q1. Where are you posting from today? At school, there are too many cargo bikes crowding the entrance. This is a "good problem" to have.
Did you have any "good problems" this week?
