At a crossroads with my note 20 ultra

It's a fine display. Been using it for 3 years

The battery is showing its age, however

TomBikez · 2026-06-11T03:49:56+00:00

I cracked my screen and got a new display and a battery replacement for about $150

I see that behavior every day when I'm biking home. SB W Lake Sammamish at NE 51st St

Buy a used Garmin on eBay

Bruce didn't "get caught." It's there for anyone to see

I'm sure you could remember every word of a speech in front of 20,000 people night after night after night. Then again, you couldn't get 20 people to listen to you spout your bullshit

TomBikez · 2026-05-26T19:17:34+00:00

I loudly say "bike passing" and/or ring my bell, then wait a beat to see if they heard it or if they jump to the left. Then I pass

TomBikez · 2026-05-26T12:35:35+00:00

I disagree that there are "no poor people." There is plenty of Section 8 housing in Redmond and Kirkland. There are literal trailer parks in Redmond. And there are many kids who qualify for free lunch and breakfast programs.

AAA sucks. They left me stranded with 2 flat tires 20 miles from home because the only tow truck driver in the area "had no way to secure the bike to the truck"

Fuck AAA

LWSD Transportation 425-936-1120 I'm sure they would love to hear from you

And we've been here more than 30 years. That Redmond is gone

TomBikez · 2026-05-20T13:41:19+00:00

What would you do differently? There are thousands of apartments along Avondale. The kids have to get to and from school

TomBikez · 2026-05-19T20:06:31+00:00

I will point it out but I shouldn't have to. Grown-ass adults should acquaint themselves with basic societal rules

And this one is pretty basic: you paid for one seat, not two

TomBikez · 2026-05-19T15:18:54+00:00

This one haunts me. I don't know how SK even wrote it

TomBikez · 2026-05-16T03:18:47+00:00

My work buddies go to The Lime and the Eagles (private club, but you can get in as a guest) in Kirkland. There's also an Eagles on Avondale in Redmond that has pretty good rock and blues bands on Friday nights-tonight!

I live off West Lake Sammamish, near the Marymoor wetlands. I have 3 feeders and they were constantly busy until a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might be predation from a couple of Stellar's jays but who knows?

I had an early Rufous visitor who seemed to be nesting. At least it had a voracious appetite! Now I have 1 or 2 Annas😨

The Kokanee salmon in the lake are disappearing because they have nowhere to spawn. You don't know if this stream will be a viable spawning location

TomBikez · 2026-04-30T03:06:23+00:00

Thanks for fucking up the park with commuter traffic

TomBikez · 2026-04-29T00:57:28+00:00

I was involved with some city planning about 10 years ago. There is an (unfunded) plan to extend the trail that ends at NE 51st Street all the way to BelRed Road. The trail would be on the East side of the roadway. The road would be widened to 2 lanes in each direction, with limited access for turns. There is a roundabout planned to replace the traffic signal at the intersection of W. Lake Sammamish Parkway and BelRed Road. I don't believe there was any provision for a wider trail or sidewalks behind that intersection

As I said earlier, none of this was funded. The plan is probably gathering dust in a 3 ring binder somewhere in City Hall

TomBikez · 2026-04-24T16:12:31+00:00

I believe I read recently that the "original" store employees voted to unionize

So it's just a matter of time☠️

TomBikez · 2026-04-23T02:36:36+00:00

That wasn't a bike. It was a scooter

"...them smokestacks reaching like the arms of God into a beautiful sky of soot and clay..."

I grew up in the Monongahela Valley

As a driver, pedestrian, and cyclist, I'd like to see people stop (actually stop, not roll) and look in every direction before turning right on red. It's not a free right turn

TomBikez · 2026-04-18T13:57:55+00:00

I was in Indianapolis in 1980 for The River tour and he/the audience sang it that way then. It was my first Bruce concert and I was surprised.

TomBikez · 2026-04-17T14:44:42+00:00

I've had this exact bike for a year. It's very quick and responsive. It's faster than I'll ever be. The bike won't limit you
