I got a chance to take a ride over the new green bridge and it's a great preview of how depressing the Veloway is going to be.
2.5km of the same blank green walls, no awareness of time or space, no hint of progress.
It's exactly the kind of bicycle infrastructure a motorway engineer would design.

Aus dem Jahre 2000 und der Analogen Kiste...immer noch verblüffend zu sehen was alles auf einem Fahrrad passt und dieser ist ja nicht mal "schwer" beladen...
The City: Streetview
A bustling futuristic city street with intricate architecture, crowded with pedestrians, vehicles, and bicycles under a warm, golden light.
We notice @ternbicycles hasn’t posted on Mastodon about this, so we’re sharing this news with the Fediverse: Tern Bicycles has a new (Gen 3, 2025 model) Tern GSD, "Our Best Cargo eBike for Families.”
If our kids were still young, and budget allowed, we’d love to have one! Check them out: https://www.ternbicycles.com/en/bikes/473/gsd?utm_campaign=gsd-g3&utm_source=mc-reg&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email1&mc_cid=8c4ba2b09a&mc_eid=1473c4e3fb BTW, we got a kick out of clicking their day/night option—and that photo made us wish libraries had Terns for bookmobiles!
I didn't stop much to get photos of Sydney cycling infrastructure, but it was really high quality.
Pretty good wayfinding and wide separated paths.
I saw a cycling bridge that went in to the airport which was pretty cool.
We rode the entire length of the Bourke St cycleway, a mix of two-way bike paths and shared paths that goes 7.5km through the centre of Sydney from the Sydney Airport to Circular Quay (where the Opera house, Habour Bridge and ferry terminals are)
The Bourke St cycleway is an amazing achievement and must have required a lot of political courage to get done.
30 high value #bicycles have been #stolen from a #bikeshop in Rushmere St Andrew (a suburb just outside #Ipswich in East #Suffolk) by sophisticated #criminals who disabled outside #CCTV and cut #Openreach cables (to prevent #alarms and CCTV activating).
#carryShitOlympics is a great hashtag to follow if you want to see stuff related to cargo loading on #bicycles
When your bus only comes 3 times a day, it's great to have a parallel bicycle path.

Around the World on a Bicycle by Fred A. Birchmore, 2020
This classic, once hard-to-find travelogue recalls one of the very first around-the-world bicycle treks. Filled with rarely matched feats of endurance and determination, Around the World on a Bicycle tells of a young cyclist's ever-changing and maturing worldview as he ventures through forty countries on the eve of World War II.

A Bike Ride 12,000 miles around the world by Anne Mustoe, 2011
Her epic solo journey took her around the world, through Europe, India, the Far East and the United States. From Thessaloniki to Uttar Pradesh, from Chumphon to Singapore, she faced downpours, blizzards and blistering deserts, political turmoil and amorous waiters - alternated with great kindness from strangers along the way.
Anyone going to the #Philly #Bike Expo? I'm planning on attending today and tomorrow, although I haven't actually left my house yet.
I've found it very helpful in the past. Last time we attended, we discovered helmets with microphones and speakers that network together with Bluetooth, to make it easier to carry on conversations without biking side-by-side. Also fashionable reflective clothing.

A serene urban canal scene at night with illuminated bridges, bicycles lined along the water, and reflections creating a tranquil atmosphere.
Worst bicycle racks ever. At least if you have a U lock. I think these go in the "destroy your front tire" category.
(Update: @woelfisch informs me that this is called a "Felgenbieger" (rim bender) rack, in Germany and I'm going with it! LOL)
#CriticalMass ride tonight in #Morristown #NJ . Bring #bicycles bring lights, bring friends. Meet near the fountain on the Green at 6:30. Always a good fun ride.
