Well, that's definitely a lesson to keep in mind if you are e-biking in remote areas....

"According to the group, a female biker faced major complications after her e-bike battery died in a remote area. This resulted in the woman being stranded in the desert for 30 hours, pushing her bike 20 miles before she ended up being located and rescued deep in the park."

63°F and it's like a different world out there. Hung winter bikes in garage rafters and got out the warm weather bikes. Took kid on a ride with his new bike (priortiy continuum onyx), which has a CVT. As you twist the "shifter" it just steadily gets easier or harder to pedal and this cute little stretchy indicator changes to show it.

Basket of old AA bike lights for $10. Now checking them out. Will need straps, but I wonder if I can get away with using old rubber tubes somehow. Will load them with AA's and attempt to give them away to cyclists riding by on the dark with no lights. #BikeTooter

#BikeStreak Day 71:
Back to reality. We had plummeting temperatures and increasing wind, so I went out before it could get worse. I rode my #ebike to Silver Lake and then Cascade Lake to see what our record warmth yesterday did to the lake ice, and the ice is completely gone. But the ride wasn't comfortable, as there was rain, then sleet, then light snow, and by the end my hands and feet were cold.
I think I'll just stay in and watch hockey this afternoon.

Okay, that settles it, I'm buying the basket of cheap rear blinking bicycle lights someone has been trying to offload here for months (very cheap), and I'm going to just put batteries in them and hand them out to anyone bicycling in the dark without a light who will take one from me. #BikeTooter

Random things, but it sounds like the paid for, approved Class IV bicycle lane our city was going to install is "on hold". They are blaming a new owner of the mall, but they mentioned it also was because the traffic engineer's "demonstration project" to super cone a lane to "show what the bicycle lane would be like" generated 700+ negative comments from drivers, "the most negative comment the city has ever seen"... so they are "rethinking" things. I think the traffic engineer KNEW this would happen and thus they decided to run the "demonstration", knowing it would kill the project. Sabotage... 😡 #BikeTooter
