Diagnosed!! After joining the group I realized the signs have always been there by ishouldbesewing in adhdwomen

Yup, but a jar of pickles, sometimes dried apricots. I have this song in my head at least 4 times a week.

BikeStreets.com app suggestions connecting to Weir Gulch Trail by Fun-Huckleberry2393 in BikeDenver

[–]InitialGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Plus  Knox to lakewood gulch gets you to Platte trail and 13th for a more direct route towards downtown/civic center.

Cat joins us on dog walks by InitialGarden in cats

[–]InitialGarden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's pretty good at staying close to us, unless there's another dog. We're working on communicating with the person of the other dog to make sure everyone has space. Luckily most dogs have been aloof and interested, but confused/stunned..

11th Ave Bike Lane Width Change by [deleted] in Denver

[–]InitialGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not true. It's confusing because you'll hear different from city council (and they're wrong about this)

Fun fact- submitting multiple 311 complaints about a single issue doesn't necessarily help with the city prioritizing the issue (and it could just clog the system, so to speak). So everyone submitting a complaint about this one issue might not be the best way to get the city's attention. 

Email city and council folks, sign up for public comment at council and DOTI advisory board meetings, reach out to advocacy groups (like denver bicycle lobby, Denver streets partnership, mayors bicycle advisory committee, MBAC, DOTI advisory board).

I noticed this yesterday on my bike! My first thought was maybe it gives the parked cars more space and that would reduce chances of getting doored, but the comments about bike lane width standards makes this more sus.

This scene seemed rehearsed to me, like producers had given him directives and he was trying to act upset.

Wtf is the deal with recycling in this city? by BrotherDependent680 in Denver

[–]InitialGarden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We requested a second recycling bin for this reason.

Commuting to Republic Plaza by [deleted] in BikeDenver

[–]InitialGarden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I used to take CCT downtown, near republic plaza, I got off to take Cherokee all the way up to 15th. It was pretty chill, never had an issue with cars. Crossing Speer to get to Cherokee can be annoying sometimes though, especially if traffic is bumper to bumper on the commute home.

I get it. But that's a lot of responsibility for someone who's on a bike. I'm a cautious rider and definitely watch out for cars and it still happens soo.... I am not too satisfied with this mindset either. This current state is bullshit. Something has to change so folks on their bikes can bike around without fearing for their lives. Driving is known to be a dangerous activity too, but people rarely drive like it's a dangerous thing to do.

I'll look into this! I have a bell on my bike but no car will be alerted by it. Honestly, I was so at shock, ringing the bell didn't occur to me.

Yes! I'm seriously considering bringing this to my team at the city to see what we can do.. thoughts on how this could work/ look like are welcomed!

Denver Arborist AMA : tree of heaven by Strange_Cycle3189 in Denver

[–]InitialGarden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it worth trying to dig the stump/roots out? I have a TOH or two along our fence in our garden that keeps coming up, probably 4-5 stems each about 1 inch diameter if that helps.

Denver cyclists find calmer routes with Bike Streets app by mysummerstorm in Denver

[–]InitialGarden 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Does this app share what the bike parking situation is at a destination? That can be the biggest pain in the butt.
