One of the things which is happening with me and biking is how my home will need to have me be more of a teacher than just a cyclist.
Not just routes, but personalizing and legal bits as well.
It’s the kind of orientation which makes the @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social as a primary kinda smart

Kind of post that invites getting back into the homework of running one’s own PDS… appreciate this clarity in just this aspect of things. It’s hard to make such a technical & governance grounded thing this simply stated.
Bluesky runs an appview.
Blacksky runs an appview.
A complete appview is a several terabytes sized database of the >18 billion follows, likes and posts of all bsky users, ever and forever.
To run a different appview is to make a fork in bsky’s timeline.
One has new posts from Łink.
One doesn’t.

Had someone roll their @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social l into the shop today. While it was only a tire/tube fix, it was on me this round to knock it out… easy enough, but also made me wonder if there’s at least a bit more I could learn towards how service centers work

First time in a long while leaving AirPods… didn’t even have Vue glasses as that was a last moment “nah, don’t need em” before leaving out
…cafe was loud. Too loud to remain very long despite the beautiful natural light. Too much mental energy to ignore outside noises.
Quiet is also accessibility

The Best Thing About Giving Up Your Car? According to Commuters, It’s Almost Everything
The cost of living is skyrocketing and time is at a premium, and that's why more and more people are taking a look at car-light and car-free lifestyles.

Something that annoys me about this post is the person blaming the new apartment complexes. Housing doesn't create traffic; cars do. The issue isn't building new units, it's building them without there being any sort of non-car transportation option.
Cars are a lot slower than people think. This driver commutes at 4 MPH. That's barely faster than walking (avg walking pace is around 3.3 MPH)
They could cut their commute to 15 minutes biking at 12 MPH, but they might not have a safe route to do so
We are forcing people into terrible car commutes

I know it's too much to read the words that many of us write, but what we are actually mad about are systems that force people into car dependency and policy choices that mean living somewhere walkable and bikeable with robust public transit is ridiculously expensive. We want to fix this!
