That was so beautiful that I pulled out my Jasha Heifetz's work.

I live in a college town with little to no decent biking infrastructure, but see lots of analogue bikes, cargo bikes and e-bikes.Very few of the Vroom-Vroom toys. e-cargo bike are used to transport kids, other stuff frequently, and e-bikes used for commuting, as well as regular bikes.

What that says is those people aren't very observant. Time moves on, including economic levels. Times were very different then, and the changes don't make poverty any less detrimental.

I bet your children will.

It's been 4 months *to the day* since Tropical Storm #Chantal damaged a key non-car transportation corridor in #ChapelHillNC.
Yesterday, temporary repairs on #BolinCreekTrail were finished and it's open for business!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“I gave him a barley sugar sweet, which I had in my pocket, and he went away, licking it. I went off and spoke to a Médecins Sans Frontières doctor, and I felt someone take hold of my hand. It was the boy. It made me feel so bloody guilty.”

My 50-Year Obsession with an Unsolved Mountain Murder The rape and killing of a young volunteer named Nancy Morgan has captivated me for half a century. Now I know who did it.

The rape and killing of a young woman in Madison County first captivated me as a Duke University student a half century ago. Investigators botched the case, but after decades of research and a recent prison interview, I know who did it.

Correctly Assessing U.S. Left-Wing Terrorism and Political Violence A recent published report suffers from fatal analytic flaws and risks feeding false narratives about political violence and polarization.

Can finally share! Thanks for signal boosting, @milleridriss.bsky.social!

When Anthonhy Burns was kidnapped in Boston in 1854 under the auspices of the Fugitive Slave Act, thousands of ordinary white and Black Bostonians responded with outrage like this and stormed the jail in an unsuccessful attempt to free him.

Absolutely!!

Picture of a shot late afternoon on the coast with part of the shore being in darkness, waves highlighted and the sky a purple, blue and orange color. Silhouette of buildings in the dark on the right.

Clean bog!

Have you tried Lucid?

Picture of an iced latté in a plastic cup on a black grated outdoor table, behind the coffee you can make out a pair of biking gloves - black and florescent yellow.

Two bikes parked by shrubbery facing head-on: the first is dark blue with a helmet hanging from the handlebars; bike two is further back, a light blue, but mostly excluded by the shrubbery, also, a helmet hanging from the handlebars. In the background are some green trees. There is a cement siding where the bikes are parked.

"Another Sunday Morning Coffee Ride"
Only 8 miles, but there were hills. Nice to get a morning ride in, especially for coffee.

One of the things that comes to mind, is incredibly poor leadership with no foresight.

Nice.

Picture of the North Sea from Robin Hoods Bay. In the foreground is a paved walk that curves down to the ocean. On the right about is part of the town. In the distance you can see the end of the bay. The ocean in the bay has small white waves; there are white clouds in the light blue sky. Later afternoon with some dark shadows on the right side of the pic.

What a lovely place. Walked there from Whitby many, many years ago.

Incredible. Thanks!

Pic of a small bird with white breast, light yellow small beak, dark wings and head, with very black eyes. The view has the bird looking over its shoulder, resting on a branch. The background is blurred.

The problem is ill-informed leaders and concerned citizens, not an uncommon problem in this country.

It must be great to live where there's biking infrastructure that Class 3 e-bikes and throttles cause problems. Where I live, you're competing with large SUVs/pickups that routinely drive near 40 mph in a 25 mph residential zone and >45 mph on 4-lane 35 mph zone, with no bike lanes.

Picture of two blue e-bikes next to a bike stand in the shade of building. The bikes are on the cement sidewalk with commercial buildings and trees in the distance. There is a blue sky with white clouds at the top, and the outline of a beige building at the top left.

Picture of an iced latte in a plastic cup with a green straw out of the top. It sits on a black, wrought iron table. Florescent biking gloves are in the background on the right side, and although out of focus, the color is noticeable.

"Sunday Morning Coffee"

Nothing like a Sunday morning ride for coffee before it gets hotter with high humidity.

This is so great! Thanks.

Uh oh, goodbye Tweed flat-hats.

I'm way past the age where I look good in Spandex biking shorts, but I still ride in them (even on an e-bike) because they don't ride up and the butt padding is great. Folks should ride in what they feel comfortable with. The more people riding, the better.

Headed to Minneapolis this weekend, hoping to rent a road bike! Anyone know of a shop that rents road bikes?

@lauragmitchell.com hoping you or your network would know
