I visited UCLA and was pretty impressed by their approach. There are huge sections of campus that are clearly marked 'WALK BICYCLES and SCOOTERS' and there are massive banks for scooter/bicycle parking. They also seemed to work with several companies that rent out scooters and those are all stored in the approved parking area.

Apparently, the fines for violations can be high and include DMV citations and they give random meal vouchers for compliance.

Dr. Mark #Benecke, bekannt aus zB "Autopsie" auf RTL2, ist zZt. in New York, USA, unterwegs.
In diesem Video zeigt er, wie die Stadt die Straßen in Manhattan für den Radverkehr umgestaltet hat und ich bin schwer beeindruckt, wie das ausschaut:

Fahrrad-Wege in New York 🌆

Wenn es sogar in einer der verkehrsreichsten Städte in den autozentrierten USA funktioniert, warum sollte das bei uns in Mitteleuropa nicht auch klappen?

Anyone have recommendations for commercial wind-blocks for ears when biking?

After researching noise from wind while biking, I improvised ones with scraps of fabric I had in my office. I was super impressed by how much easier it was for me to hear traffic and other noise once the wind over my ears was reduced. The final conclusion the X-mas stocking worked slightly better for noise than the fabric face mask, but looks very silly.

Ann Arbor folks, there is a community comment opportunity for proposed changes to US 23 between Ellsworth and Plymouth road. This will impact pedestrian and bike egress across US23, the B to B trail, and, of course, car traffic.

You can attend the in-person event today from 12--2 and 2-4 at 105 Morris Lawrence Building on the Washtenaw Community College Campus or comment online here

Is cycling safe? In many cases, the answer is no. – Harvard Gazette
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/is-cycling-safe-in-many-cases-the-answer-is-no/

"The risk exists even as biking offers a range of health and environmental benefits, including a lowered risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Bicycling also lowers the risk of obesity, cancer, premature death, and cardiovascular disease while addressing climate change through reduction in pollution.

We could make our world safer if we improved bike infrastructure..."

Related: not biking to work today.

Cold weather is fine.

Rain is tolerable.

Rain over ice? It’ll be treacherous enough in the car, thank you.

A winter morning in Tucson. All the good things: riding on The Loop to a local place to read, write, and think.

Do you ride your bike for commuting or errands?

Check out https://bicycleparking.org/
It's an app that crowd sources locations of bike parking. Easy to use, easy to add to.

Of course, like any crowd sourced project, it needs more contributors! Please help if you can!

#winter is here, so the studded ones are mounted. A slow test drive #turfgame . A bit cold feets in the rubberboots, better insulation needed for the commute. (If it gets colder... 1h could work... Oh Well. #bike #bicyclecommute
