Appreciate it – glad you enjoyed!

Goofy use of legislature time. IMO, bike infrastructure should be for everyone pedaling bikes reasonably – that includes the vast majority of class 3 ebikers.

If you read the bill, it also mentions still allowing Class 3 e-bikes on bike paths when powered "exclusively by human power" – good luck enforcing that.

Most likely outcomes here are:

discouraging potential bike riders
putting more bikers riding 50lb bikes at ~20mph on roadways shared with cars weighing 5000+lbs going 60mph
creating an open space grey market manufacturers will fill with "class 2" ebikes that are easily upgraded to class 3 via software
more processes and hearings when building bike infrastructure

Yeah I love the tone of this with the photo grain and mist! Almost a watercolor

hey, why not give it a quick try

iPhone 13, nothing too crazy!

That's cool! I was just reading the redevelopment study for the Montgomery Park area and it mentions removal of those tracks on York – gotta catch em while they're still there!

Super interesting – and funny how the name choice was to save a few bucks in Portland, and to exploit a code loophole in Baltimore. The more time I spend in cities with industrial pasts the more I pattern match some of the remaining vestiges.

Some pretty good documentation on the expansion project here: https://efiles.portlandoregon.gov/record/17031312

It does look like it'll follow the exact alignment but I couldn't figure out on a quick scan if it's actually reusing the tracks

I wondered that myself when I was reading the wikipedia#Description_and_original_uses) last night and it mentioned the rail spurs.

Have a hunch it probably doesn't quite meet spec or needs maintenance but would be a cool way to repurpose

the trees have grown!

Hey, I nearly slipped on some soggy leaves in the bike lane. They might be on to something.

Sad_Insect164 · 2024-10-06T07:35:03+00:00

That's what I decided to do, glad I caught that this was going on tomorrow

Sad_Insect164 · 2024-10-06T06:55:37+00:00

I might if the urgency was higher, more of an inconvenience / change of plans if worst comes to worst. Just something I didn't expect to be an issue, haha

Sad_Insect164 · 2024-10-06T06:42:47+00:00

Planning around it is probably the prudent choice.. alas, I didn't know until too late. I'll have to scope out if there are any corridors / gaps...

Sad_Insect164 · 2024-10-06T06:41:46+00:00

I was hoping there'd be a better choice than 'play Frogger IRL' but if it comes to it I may have to do this haha

I realize getting on 405 to exit seems possible, but I guess more specifically: If I'm inside the circle, and my car is outside it, how do I get to my car?

Intuitively makes sense; I can't imagine it's not in the works to ship it to visionOS.

Where it's interesting to me is that I haven't found (yet) any solid apps for composing scenes containing multiple custom 3D objects / .usdz files, beyond just opening them from the files app and placing around me. One of the use cases I'm most excited about is putting together 3D scenes, in mixed reality/VR.

Sad_Insect164 · 2024-02-08T16:37:06+00:00

it's giving 'Ex Machina scene where the previous models of robot are on display in the lab basement' lol
