I think “eighth” might be one of the weirdest looking common English words

Why oh why is there not already useable train transit between Seattle and Tacoma? (Rhetorical question). #seattle #seabikes #pnw #PublicTransport

@npub1y3m…r6lg radrunner plus. Good size, heavy but way cheaper than the competition. Accelerates well. Don’t love the mechanical disc brakes but I manage and apparently the newest model has hydraulic

Milestone hit, appropriately enough, in the rain. 5000 miles—Averaging 8 miles/day over the 20 months I’ve owned the bike. Changed my life in every good way #seabikes #seattle #bike #BikeTooter #ebike #cycling #urbanism

Hassan Samih Dawla, a 45-year-old tailor displaced from northern Gaza, provides tailoring services using a bicycle-powered sewing machine on December 30, 2023 in Rafah, Gaza, to cope with the frequent power outages that have followed the outbreak of war in October.

I basically live in a 15 min neighborhood (I’m a 15 min walk, almost exactly, to two different neighborhood commercial centers, several parks, grocery, libraries, pharmacies, rail stop, and more). But 15 min is a bit far each way, esp since hills are involved. it’s the ebike that really makes this set up feel like urban utopia. #seabikes #BikeTooter #cycling #ebike #seattle

COVID vaccine chronicles: I snag an appointment at Walgreens for an updated COVID shot (first day available). Arrive, am told that my insurer (Regence Blue Shield WA) has not updated their formulary yet to include the new vaccine. So I had to pay $150 out of pocket. I am certain I will get reimbursed but GOOD LORD. Get it together, America. #covid #COVID19 #CovidIsNotOver #health #healthcare

On today’s episode of “Yes! You can carry that on a cargo bike!”: a 4’x4’ piece of peg board. Pro tip: the child seat really helps (The staff at Dunn Lumber, which doesn’t even have bike racks, thought I was crazy but I proved them wrong) #seabikes #BikeTooter #cycling #seattle #ebike #ebikes

@npub1sat…8vnx @npub194m…uwuu looks like you cross and then immediately hit a dead end at the train tracks

2023-07-12 15:49:31

Is there any way to cross i5 on a bike around Boeing Access Road that is not Boeing Access Road? I want to create a loop involving LW loop and GRT starting in Renton and this crossing is the monkey wrench in the plan (it’s basically a highway with no shoulder or sidewalk). #seabikes #seattle #pnw #BikeTooter #cycling @npub194m…uwuu
