The pandemic appears to have reminded a lot of people that trails exist. Fortunately, things have eased up considerably on "my" section of the W&OD since I wrote the following post in "Near Misses":...

:(

I love a satisfying resolution!

Hoping someone recognizes this POS and turns him in. Heck, if you're the POS in question and are reading this, know that you are degenerate trash, not worthy of being called a cyclist:

Me: guy whose property backs up against the WOD.

Also me: guy who has stopped using the WOD during the pandemic because it is not only more crowded than he has ever seen, but also because it has...

I'm a cheap Sumbidge, and to me ALL cars are expensive. Or do they mean comparatively expensive?

Unfortunate, but understandable. I thought it was odd that I didn't get an email, but running a search, it appears I totally missed the registration announcement this year. Derp.

Oh well, I...

A lady handing out flyers at EFC told me bicycle parking would still be available. I don't know if that will hold true once the actual station is closed. I hope so, since I'm likely to catch one of...

That's different, and understandable (though I would ask that you drop back 2-3 feet and maintain a civilized distance). This guy rode my wheel for a good mile or so; he had plenty of opportunity to...

Pet Peeve #8,092: Ninja drafters. Please. Just don't. Save it for the Sunday group ride.

Pet Peeve #8,093: Ninja drafters who don't call their pass once they've decided I no longer serve a...

There's no option for "immediately". :p

So that guy was definitely just being a dork, then. In my experience at least, dynamo lights tend to be mounted close enough to the ground that the only way they could blind someone would be if they...

Not to defend people who don't use their own lights and reflectors, but would it kill you to briefly cover your light or swivel it to the side? A light angled to illuminate 25-30 feet ahead is also...

Garbage, I'm afraid. The striker on mine basically exploded after approximately five commutes.

The forecast got it wrong, and now I wish I hadn't procrastinated with my Fall fender reinstall.

Now I'm wondering what shows up if one does a search for "Dutch Reach" on Pornhub...

You: The ten (I counted) riders who passed me in rapid succession yesterday (yeah yeah, I'm slow), all of whom called their pass.

Me: flabbergasted.

An absolutely freakin' gorgeous day today means higher volume on the trails - please exercise appropriate caution and model good etiquette.

Yes, we should.

It's actually a very well-made video by The Guardian, discussing cyclist behavior in traffic, some of the reasons why we do the things we do, and whether it's really as bad as non-cyclists are always...

I write this with all due respect and affection: get over yourself.

Except I was referencing complaints I've seen on this forum about hooligans who don't park their dockless bikeshares where we want them to.

Some of the "Two wheels good, but only a certain type of...

I suspect someone in the bowels of the bureaucracy who opposes bikeshare is "slow walking" contract negotiations, but I'm cynical that way..

I think the point is that some people are going to be inconsiderate no matter what. The people who park bikes on wheelchair ramps and toss scooters into the creek are the same ones who ditch their...
