Aside from not feeling safe filtering I don't even trust myself to cross the street without looking both ways like 10 times in case I just somehow didn't notice a car so I honestly can't fathom the level of self confidence that would be required to just weave through cars with a green light coming from a perpendicular street like all the people on terry b's channel do

Big rear end diesel trucks getting a whole lane over. Nobody trying to squeeze past. It made me drunk with power

I know the old bikers joke about that being the motorcycle lane, but this is ridiculous.

I use to work just enough outside downtown that parking was free and parking was near impossible come 9:30 am because of the number of people who would park there and walk/bike to their office. Not saying it was right or wrong for folks to do it but as soon as it became metered there was suddenly plenty of parking!

I like to get out of town on the weekends and go hiking/backpacking so I can rack miles even though I don't drive 5+ days out of the week. I am part of the problem I guess...

I think of it like carbon credits, where I exchange a car trip like that for all of the in-town trips I didn't take by car.

acording to that article the average houstonian drives 35k miles per year so 20 miles a week is comes to about 1/35th that amount lol. its a pretty nice reduction!

lobster shirt posted:love putting hte kids in a trailer and pulling them around, to parks and other fun venues. bike ftw. that owns. There's no bike infra here so we can only bike them around the subdevelopment but at least we can go to the mini-park on the far side with them. Bike trailers rock, I love mine. Now if we could stop having 95f weather coupled with 75% humidity for a couple days I could do that again. Even early morning is miserable, it was 95% humidity at 5:30am so the heat index was 100. at 5:30am!
