For my first of 2023, I tried to choose a route that would allow me to highlight some of the good, the bad, and the ugly of biking in and the in general. I think I managed to capture it well.

Video to come (I need to stitch together a number of segments from a few different devices). Stay tuned.

Stuck in traffic? What traffic?

Even in suburbia, a bike is often faster than a car for getting around.

I uploaded my first video at @video (still need to add subtitles—I'll get there). This one is just a teaser for what I hope to start over the next month, but hopefully publishing it will force me to follow through.

I'd love to hear thoughts or suggestions, especially if you're in upstate NY or have made similar efforts yourself in the past. I'm completely new to sharing myself in this way.

This is a photo of the crosswalk my kids navigate on their walk to school.

Note the damage to the bushes. That happened last week when not one, but *two*, separate drivers blew through the stop sign and lost control of their vehicles. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the fact that the Town hasn't seen fit to add a school zone, sidewalks, and raised crosswalks near the school is simply unconscionable.

Just running some errands by bike, as one does in January in upstate New York.
