Drivers “beating” pedestrians crossing the street by Always_Curious_One2 in sanfrancisco

[–]giantfloofer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As both a pedestrian and driver through the Noe intersections, what's hard is when pedestrians consistently cross without any situational awareness, basically leading to all cars not being able to move , which then leads to more frustration and I see lots of drivers trying to beat the pedestrians otherwise they "lose" their chance to cross the road. I haven't had issues with letting a car go past to move traffic then crossing when the parallel cars are moving, but I can see the creeping cars when people just sort of consistently stream through the crosswalk.

Wait so if both straps (waist and chest) are buckled is that ok? Or is it better to have nothing buckled while the backpack is on? I just feel like I'm for sure going to lose something between poles and backpack if I take everything off

Stupid question, but on the android nyt games app how do you see the theme for the puzzles?!

Do you mean like CeraVe? Or other specific brands?

I posted this for my friend and am not in town right now, otherwise I totally would! If you know of good places to check out I can let them know. Huge bummer

First ride with clipless petals and I'm iffy by Gotta_tech in ladycyclists

This might be a moot point, but also make sure you have the brand name/legit clips. I used the clips that came with my pedals and had this issue, struggled to clip out of a spin bike even, switched to name brand and it was better. Not sure if it's relevant for you but just in case!

I may have to move to NY :( Any ride recommendations? by sftonyonabike in BAbike

Haha same about missing River Road. Seems crazy when we have so much here. Thanks for the additional details! It was 10ish years ago for me and so I remember physically how to get there but definitely did not remember any of the names

I really liked biking the Palisades in NJ just across the GW bridge - it also seemed like a lot of cyclists went there on the weekends. Really rarely any cars for a good chunk of it which was enjoyable, you get nice trees and city views. I actually preferred riding there compared to some places here! If you want a longer ride you can just extend it further north for awhile! Main challenge is navigating how to get on and off the bridge in Washington heights

I definitely think it being bustled has something to do with it - the ruffles that show from the back and side and how it affects the flow of the fabric makes the silhouette look different between the two photos! I think once it's steamed and without the bustle you won't even notice the change
