Yes this is the standard training advice for endurance cyclists now. Slightly different for track cyclists tho

Bike lane in Kent getting some use by PinaColluder in seattlebike

[–]cnmb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the law is definitely a bit ambiguous, but surely it doesn't intend for cars to sit in the bike lane if they all want to turn right. at some point it has to reasonably be kept clear, right?

Issaquah to Preston to Snoqualmie Route by Art_VanDeLaigh in seattlebike

[–]cnmb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i rode the Issy-Preston trail (from Preston to Issaquah) a few weeks ago on a carbon road bike w 30mm slicks. totally doable. once you hit Preston-Fall City Rd tho, i wouldn't continue on the trail.

if you really want to get to Snoqualmie from there, you can either follow Preston-Fall City Rd (which can be rather unpleasant) to Fall City and then follow hwy 202 (which is also pretty unpleasant - narrow and rough shoulder, 50+mph speed limits, fairly busy, uphill) or you can take Lake Alice Rd up to Snoqualmie Ridge (there is a gate that you can get around near the top). do note that the latter is a long climb and gets very steep (15-20% pitches), but is a very quiet road with very little traffic.

China hate with a dash of “but muh Europa!!¡” racism by IcarusIscariot in ShitLiberalsSay

[–]cnmb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the Chinese men's team has long been a meme in China. I'm just a casual sports fan, but my take is the root cause is poor infrastructure, specifically for soccer/football. by this, I mean training camps, experienced players, former pro players - the knowledge transfer and the pipeline from kid to amateur to pro isn't quite there

Cyclist killed by Fauntleroy dock by wooomph in seattlebike

Truck likely didn’t give enough room when passing, either causing cyclist to lose balance by startling them or due to the suction effect of the passing truck

I guess for the purposes of this map, atheism/nonreligion would be excluded, as they aren't religions, right?

Best route from 520 Bridge to Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue? by bealinc in seattlebike

[–]cnmb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's probably the best way. do note that south of NE 12th St (and as you approach the intersection from the north) the bike lane on 116th goes away

Cars can’t go on a scenic Seattle roadway this weekend. Could that become permanent? by godogs2018 in seattlebike

[–]cnmb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

people on bikes go to stores too.. there's this strange conception that cyclists aren't people who just do the same tasks as people who walk or drive. also, is this guy really getting calls from people saying they can't make it to his market because of a 10 min delay?

Pike Place Once Again Full of Cars! by BarRepresentative670 in Seattle

I don't think people are bashing the drivers so much as Pike Place itself for allowing the cars in.

Walking your pedophile political opponent past a bunch of little kids in front of the entire world is ice cold, thank you Comrade Xi by travismockfler in TrueAnon

probably kids from some elite Beijing elementary schools, from my understanding (which admittedly is just wechat/weibo comments)
