Bike Lanes and Beyond: Innovations Shaping the Future of Cycling in Urban Landscapes

In the ever-evolving landscape of urban design and transportation, the resurgence of cycling has captured the imagination of city planners, environmentalists, and health-conscious citizens alike. As urban areas grapple with congestion, pollution, and the imperative to create more sustainable modes of transportation, the humble bicycle has risen to the forefront of discussions. However, it’s not…

"Um, it was really amazing because the office where, now, I experiment with audio, but it's largely where I wrote comics for a long time."

"Yeah, so, I'll pick something up. I like, I like random sounds. I like devices that make random sounds and general textures and things like that. Because the, the way it works for me when I'm making art is, I just need like the very smallest, not even a fragment it could be like a single note. And then, and then, so it'll be a single note, I'll hear a single note, and then another, something will come after that. And something will come after that."

"That's generally how it is, so sometimes I just need to hear like uh, a ping or something, like that'll do something. So picking up a physical instrument or a device that makes noise, um, and sometimes with these devices that do random things, I'll just kinda start turning knobs and see what happens."

One thing I’ve heard about my posts about asking for reassurance in healthier ways is that my scripts sound so “stiff” and not like real life. I’ve got this comment a few times. And that’s true for a lot of them. You’re not supposed to use them word for word. You’re supposed to change them for what they mean for you.

Here’s a real life example from today. I’m the “boring treble” (inside joke with my best friend) and I ask for reassurance. (I also want to point out that sometimes I am insecure about her specifically and we’ve talked about those situations. Here’s an example of that situation!)

But you can see in my example that it’s a lot more casual for me in real life! You can see that it’s kind of our thing to call stuff “tragic” and it’s light hearted but also genuine at the same time. And also, even though I asked for reassurance, her response is genuine and did reassure me.

Shadow and Knuckles can share a motorcycle and ride together. As a treat.

Honey if the Dark Rider is involved I don’t think that Shadow would share. That’s his bike, his baby😂❤️✨

ugh i know ive posted about it a million times but watching the motegi post race press con im again in awe at how much dovi genuinely loved fighting with marc (as per his book too) like "marc is so aggressive" said while smiling giddily, "its hard fighting with him" said while smiling, "i know when he's gonna attack me i know when he's gonna come" said while smiling!!!!! and it makes it better to me that dovi doesn't like all aggressiveness, he didn't like the way iannone was aggressive on track for example, bc iannone would crash others out a lot and never got results w his tactics and dovi didn't think there was "sense" to it. but he really liked and respected and had FUN with marc's aggressiveness and risk taking. dovi's said he liked it because it made him step out of his own comfort zone and go with marc into those risky unknowns. marc pushed him and pushed him and dovi loved it so so much. marc made him be a better rider, and dovi knew this and relished it and i find that incredibly moving.

"Deep down, however, [Marc] isn't crazy either, although he tries two maneuvers [on their last lap battle in Austria 2017] that are neither in heaven nor on earth. Theoretically, and even practically, they have no logic. Yet I don't get pissed off. I'm rather surprised to see what he tried to do to win, a kind of "I don't believe it," an astonished curiosity at how he tried to go into unfamiliar terrain where, as a consequence, I followed. It's amazing. As if together we had dug the new seam of a mine: the gold we won't share, of course, because I will take it, however, we dig the earth together as if we were pioneers. And that can't help but create a bond, whatever it may be." - Dovi via his auto-biography

I don't know if this is a seattle thing (I don't remember seeing many/any in LA) but I have been to multiple coffee shop + motorcycle shop combos and every time all I can think is........the AU potentials....

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

INT: To be totally honest, coming here, I didn't know who I was going to meet. From a personality perspective, you read all sorts of things about you. RUSSELL: You do, don't you? INT: Do you feel that this image of 'Hollywood's bad boy' is overblown? RUSSELL: Here's the thing mate, I'm not from Hollywood. I go there to work. But it's all made up and I'm sorry to burst your bubble. What do you think the whole tough guy thing is? I put makeup on for a living, brother. That's all. That's what I do. But it's not an act. It's a perception that somebody writes and then the next person goes on top of that and goes on top of that. You know, I'm in no way, shape or form like an angry person, you know, but if you do my job. And you don't get irritated by certain points of it, right? There's something wrong with you.

Act 1: Schism—Beginning--- Previous---Next

[thistransient]

I biked out to Waziwei 挖子尾 today cause the weather was nice and I hadn't been in a while. Normally I consider myself a conscientious cyclist and silently judge violators of the rules, but of course the one time I decide to make a foolhardy maneuver based on the fact that the only people visible in either direction are two aunties pedaling at the speed of molasses, precisely then must a guy dressed in all black like a ninja on a racing bike materialise from around a shrubbery at extreme velocity. While I yelped "fuck!", in remorseful anticipation of my self-wrought and untimely demise, he evaded smoothly and silently, but it still generated much more adrenaline than I'd desired in an afternoon.

Bali 八里 is significantly more chill in winter than the summer, I discovered. The crowd was much reduced, along with the 4-person pedal cars usually clogging the bike path (whose ongoing renovations finally seem to be mostly complete and blissfully smooth, further enhancing the experience). I got some fresh donuts from a stand and went to the beach, stomped about barefoot in the squishy low-tide sand, and explored an area I'd never been to over near the bridge construction (the 橋樑封閉禁止進入 photo).

I wish I could say going back was a fun time too but I've come to hate headwinds with a fiery passion. True, that could have been avoided if I'd just taken the bus home, or perhaps the ferry to Danshui 淡水 and then the train, but part of my scheme had been to try and work on extending my biking endurance to facilitate a different scheme to bike to Sandiaojiao 三貂角 and back using a Youbike from Ruifang Station 瑞芳站. I've entertained the conclusion that either I am perhaps not fit for a career in distance cycling (admire though I do those who are), or it's a harebrained idea to do it on a Youbike. (Yes, I know there were some foreigners who went the length of Taiwan on Youbikes, good for them, they also did the west coast.) But it could well be that I was simply cranky on account of being hungry, dehydrated, and not stopping to remedy these things because I was annoyed by the wind. The only way to find out is to keep at it, I suppose.
