A few more petal like leaves on the Root River Trail today:
23 bicyclists, 8 electric.
4 people walking.
1 person walking with their dog.
2 people stepping off the trail to fishing.
More people than I've ever seen since November.
It's warming up a bit.

Newburyport's Clipper City Rail Trail is now a complete circuit for the first time, thanks to the town, and a new bike path along Parker Road! https://www.trailspotting.com/2023/04/newburyport-rail-trails-ma.html
We've updated our map and article, and hope to check out the improvements for ourselves very soon.
This looks interesting. Apr 15, 2025 12:00 PM
"Epic Routes, Modern Tools: Learn to Navigate Adventure Cycling Routes on Ride with GPS with Ryan Van Duzer"
check this out:
Cyclists DO NOT WANT TO CROSS 99 at 212th. They REALLY don't. I checked some heat maps; it's VERY clear.
They want to go half a mile or more out of their way and cross at 208th, or a mile and a half via 228th.
Not wanting to cross 99 at 220th makes sense on the map. 220th interacts with I-5 in ugly ways not much further east. That's fine.
But 212th doesn't. There's infrastructure on either side of 99, albeit short a couple of blocks. And _people use that infrastructure_.
But they _don't_ leave it. And they _don't_ cross 99 there.
And I can't for the life of me tell you why from looking at maps.
They know something, though.
I wonder what.
Okay, it's starting to make some sense to me now
Gonna need a lot of street labels but that's okay
In our opinion, all #PeopleWhoBike are “#cyclists.”
Good article, though we’d have edited out “—who’s not a cyclist—.” That was jarring, at odds with rest of piece. @Bicycling @bicycling-magazine-Bicycling

eta: hey let's make this a #BikeNitePQ why not.
#GPOY after seeing this sign on my bike commute over the years.
Close up of new wheel mock-up with red Hope Hub and spokes mounted to RockShox Lyrik forks on my Marin Pine Mountain eTrail bike project build.
Don’t worry about the bike, 90% of bike commuting in Minnesota is clothing. A full suite of functional clothing for all seasons can cost more than an excellent commuting bike. Figuring out what clothing works for the weather, especially with extreme daily temperature swings, is pretty darn complex. #bike #bicycling
How much microplastic is generated during mountain biking?
First test fit of new front wheel on Marin Pine Mountain eTrail bike project build.
Even more green coming in on the #RootRiverTrail and first ever sighting of a couple of racing type bicyclists booking hard on it by me (been using it as often as I could since last November when we moved here. Too cold too often.)
Not a fan of those.
Give me a staple (or Sheffield) Bicycle parking rack with enough space between them that don't block walkways or entrances.
Covered, of course.

@ascentale @ClintonAnderson @bikenite #BikeNite A8. I mostly use #BikeTooter #bicycle #cycling #bicycling and #ebike, all of which are specific, but I also frequently use #urbanism #disability #accessibility #pedestrian #transportation and #transit, in conjunction with anything about #bicycles, because these are all related and intersectional.
@ascentale @ClintonAnderson @bikenite
A8. I use #BikeNite #BikeTooter and #Bicycling for most things. I follow the #BikeCommuting #BikeTouring and #Biking hashtags.
