Technical support chicken i restart unix processes for a living. firm believer that cargo bicycles and trains will save this planet. talking about bicycles, parenting, light urbanism, and sometimes talking shop about cloud/research computing.
That feeling of tension leaving your shoulders when your kid finally makes it to the safe protected bike lane and you can breath out. Rochester, NY
Wondering if I should plan a bike ride that uses statues coned by the Scots as waypoints…
Commuter rail operator: we’re cancelling trains between 9am and 3pm to accommodate rail repairs My 8am train: we’re stopping for an unknown amount of time to allow a crew working on the rail repairs to get off the tracks Me: *confusion*
This area is indeed a clusterfuck of road design, but also, "One more lane, bro." I just think it's interesting that stories like this never include any mention of a real intervention to reduce congestion: Reducing the number of cars on the road.

Sitting on the train and watching some kid highlight about 90% of the lines in his textbook. Witnessing a classic rite of passage and feeling nostalgic.
packing kids lunches is always like, hey food—see most of you later today
Cars cross through our cities, towns, and neighborhoods without end, but motorists get angry and impatient when people need to cross their streets. Motor-normality has skewed the way people view our built environment, creating arrogance of flow for cars, and dangerous barriers for people.
"The only appropriate time and place to ride a bike is a time beyond time and a place beyond place, where the space-time continuum is bent so strangely you are both everywhere and nowhere, eternal and nonexistent."
