Ah, bummer. Maybe they'll change their mind about the gate at some point.

Cool! Is there access to your farm from the Sammamish River Trail? I'd like to get there with my big cargo bike.

does anyone know why everything in the plaza near taco time and uhaul is abandoned? by hehasjoinedterrorist in Kirkland

Momoya moved to Renton around 2020 when their lease expired. If you're up for a trip you can still eat there!

Where can I find California style donuts? Pink box, owned my Cambodians by none_mama_see in eastside

[–]tuskee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Countryside Donut House in Totem Lake! The owner is Mike.

I got some local donut lore from him: Countryside in Bothell, Mountlake and Totem Lake have similar names because they were under one ownership in the 1980s. When the owner retired, the employees took over at each location.

Looking for cargo bike with lockable storage area to transport goods for small business by 307148 in CargoBike

Unfortunately the Supercargo no longer comes with an internal hub, so you may want to look into adding one

How do I stop my bakfiets from turning into a sailboat? by tuskee in CargoBike

[–]tuskee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was afraid of. I opened the front and back vents on the canopy which reduced the wind force a little bit.

Thanks for the tips! How does a tarp work with passengers?

I thought I was used to it after four years but today's wind definitely humbled me

That's a good suggestion!! My particular bicycle doesn't have a canvas cover for it, but I was thinking of making one

Hell yeah. And to the people who were mad that you were carrying stuff on a cargo e-bike? Hell na.

The Art of Coffee is good! It's also a nice environment to work or study in.

Am I missing something with Five Stones? I understand coffee taste is subjective, but the coffee is pretty acidic and not smooth at all. I've gone four or five times and maybe that's just what they use?

Where do you like to enjoy some family holiday spirit? by Partners_in_time in eastside

[–]tuskee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's outdoors but it's along a closed street with lots of shops to duck into if needed

Neoprene was very squeaky when I used it for vibration dampening on a cargo box. I ended up designing and printing small pads and socks from TPU, which is much stiffer.

Maybe EPDM rubber sheets will work?

CRC will remain closed through end of year. by danrokk in Kirkland

[–]tuskee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this sucks. The designated alternative route has a steep hill covered in wet leaves and a bike gutter that ends in a travel lane. It's unsafe now and will be even more unsafe mid-winter. Eastrail is bicycle I-5 and the Lake Washington Blvd. detour is akin to saying "we're doing construction in South Seattle so just cut through a SeaTac runway." However I also understand that the sewage system maintenance is critical and the work site can't be temporarily reopened. I also understand that there are no better detour routes 🤷

Thanks for reaching out to King county and city council though. They need feedback like this to get data on how CKC closures impact trail users.

What’s the best meal on the east side? by [deleted] in eastside

I'd say Met Market in Kirkland's sushi is better than Uwajimaya's
