I wanted the loud bicycle horn for a while but decided I’d end up being too much of a menace
Just got a message from daycare asking people to PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY, to stop parking in the handicap spots, and not to leave children unattended in vehicles. Gonna have to figure out today if there was a precipitating incident because uhhh Dr. Self-Righteous Walker here has seen every other parent do all this shit!!

eventually I will have sent a ticket to every single god damned taxi in this whole city for blocking the bike lane in this exact spot. I get almost one a day.

do you get a bounty for it?
no
they only do that for idling trucks and you have to spend like 30 mins filming them
my favorit is when I can get a usable picture out of another car. it feels dirtier.

So I asked at pickup today. Some dad broke his foot and got a real deal handicap placard. He arrived at pickup and encountered a mother who habitually used that space. I guess some words were exchanged!
Also got the email that the intersection next to daycare is getting the all-way stop I requested HY

Had a weird thing happen on my ride today. I was on the MUP/bike trail/whatever and got passed by this old guy in a blind corner that oncoming bikers are usually flying through. I was a little salty about, partly because I’m slow ok, partly because a lot of guys (almost always guys) ride this trail like there could never be anybody around the next corner. I continued to fume about this until I got to this feature on the trail:
I’m heading north with the brown arrow (naturally). Going under this bridge can be tricky. The red X marks as a really tight, narrow, and frequently muddy turn. I am slow and enjoy getting home in one piece so I’m riding cautiously and clear this no problem.
As I’m going under the bridge, these 2 boomers fly through the more sweepy corner on the north end. Dude on a tadpole trike clears it fine, but the geezer behind him is coming in way too hot and crosses the center line right in front of me. I give him a JESUS DUDE and continue on my way. I do a quick shoulder check as I’m going into that next corner and I see two matching-jersey-roadie-jock-bros hitting that tight corner at the same time as the geezers. Cue the skidding tire and clang clang noises. I don’t know how tangled they got but the jocks didn’t catch up with me in the next half mile so I’m assuming they had to stop.
Feels kinda silly to have written this up now but it was such a weird thing to be hung up on aggro pathletes for part of my ride and then actually manifest an incident!
