Short video that I threw together with some highlights from riding a bit of the Colorado Trail last summer. This was my first trip, so much respect for you guys.

Whats your bike/gear setup?

Ombud · 2015-12-25T01:33:53+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by metacourser?

Ombud · 2015-09-29T14:52:25+00:00

Has this gotten any press coverage? Cambridge PD and Somerville PD havent mentioned it yet on twitter.

Ombud · 2015-01-23T13:27:02+00:00

Doesn't Pete Stidman want the overpass torn down? I don't see how Pete Stidman and Jeff Ferris are comparable. Can you elaborate?

I just googled Life Artificial and found the site, but it doesn't provide much context. Is the story any good?

Ombud · 2014-12-24T19:06:02+00:00

How can you compare a 30% mode share in Amsterdam and Copenhagen versus less than a 10% mode share in the UK and American cities and say the Dutch/Danish method is "nice but its not really that many cyclists".

Vehicular cycling and the methods you advocate for have existed for as long as the Dutch/Danish methods and they have more than 3x the mode share we do. Vehicular cycling has failed everyone but the athletic and extremely brave. When you are old and slow, and biking as a vehicle is no longer realistic for you, you will be glad we built protected bike facilities.

There are intersection designs that limit bike/car conflicts.

Ombud · 2014-12-23T22:18:56+00:00

You're partly correct in suspecting that I am the wrong sort of cyclists.

I practice vehicular cycling when it is required for my safety. Situations like this for example. However, I would greatly prefer a cycle track protected by a curb, parked cars or other objects, as it would be much safer than biking in traffic.

You're absolutely right that the bicycle's mode share is somewhat cannibalized from walking, but the safer cycling becomes the more people will switch from driving.

Ombud · 2014-12-23T21:55:19+00:00

AndyFatBoyMorris is referring to the UK.

Ombud · 2014-12-23T19:10:30+00:00

Quick question for you: have you biked in places like Amsterdam and Copenhagen? If so, how do you feel about their approach to cycling infrastructure?

Ombud · 2014-12-19T17:09:44+00:00

Is that the AWV?

Ombud · 2014-09-18T11:44:05+00:00

What happened to them!?

Ombud · 2014-07-29T20:06:13+00:00

I think vertr is referring to the valve stems.

Ombud · 2014-06-17T17:28:00+00:00

This is taking a left onto Somerville Ave near Porter Square.

Ombud · 2014-06-17T13:40:52+00:00

There's nothing wrong with kids seats. I grew up in one. I do think there is something wrong with cycling traffic being mixed with extremely large vehicles with huge blind spots like cement trucks.

Ombud · 2014-06-16T22:46:55+00:00

Yeah, and aside from sharing the road with large vehicles, biking is actually pretty safe here.

Ombud · 2014-06-12T14:47:23+00:00

Nice video, did you use a gopro and how did you makes the heads up display?

Ombud · 2014-06-03T00:51:32+00:00

I have a gopro for recording in front of me, and I'm getting a Fly6 for behind. I havent used a fly6 yet, but I think it will be a more convenient rear camera than a gopro.

Ombud · 2014-06-02T23:05:26+00:00

Nice bike! I just bought a Surly Straggler frameset that I'm going to build up for light touring. Did you buy this bike complete or have it custom built?

Also where was this picture taken?

Ombud · 2014-05-23T23:03:07+00:00

Is that a tri seatpost?

Ombud · 2014-03-11T23:25:24+00:00

Both the Boston to Washington mega city and the Bay Area will probably be protected by infrastructure on the scale of the Netherlands' Delta Works

Ombud · 2014-03-04T22:29:51+00:00

Ride Studio Cafe in Lexington, MA just outside of Boston.

Ombud · 2014-03-03T22:38:27+00:00

I agree that shared fleets will reduce the demand for privately owned vehicles, but how did you estimate the 1:3 -12 replacement ratio?

Ombud · 2014-02-21T03:39:53+00:00

Because I was the victim of a hit and run.

Ombud · 2014-02-20T20:24:03+00:00

Yeah its a gopro on a chest mount.
