I rarely see anyone riding in a position that suggets they think about dooring. The suggestion that riding outside of the door zone is a matter of intuition shows once again that traffic engineering is a branch of philisophy that does't require observation of behavior, just statement of belief.

When I was single I had to get rid of my small dinner table and two chairs to make room for additional bicycles and a repair stand, so I could work on and restore bicycles in the kitchen.

What a fucking poser. I just brought home a used 20 ton hydraulic press in the back of our golf wagon and didn't have to jump into anything to get it out.

You expect this near death experience at caltrans intersections where an unprotected left coincides with the walk signal. The god they worship requires daily human sacrifices. Recently this has become common at city managed intersections where the phases are separated.

I have close calls walking across 5-7 lane streets with the ped. signal when drivers make a left on a red arrow and I'm halfway or more than halfway across the very wide street. I hate it here.

In addition to all those who drive without looking or thinking it seems that a lot of people now believe they can still go through an intersection if they saw the light when it was green or yellow. I have to count to five before I can go on green.

Newbaum's is pretty good. I always use a coat of shellac to increase longevity, but not enough to give it a hard finish.

For Long Beach the goal was the be in the headlines about the program, nothing else. It is a city devoted to not doing and not building anything, but it has a undeserved reputation as a progressive urbanist town to maintain. Once a year we get a bit of window dressing.

Have you received an explanation for whay they are designing them this way? I imagine traffic engineers prefer designs with the fewest possible routes to reduce the number of conflict points so that it appears safer on paper.

It's as if they haven't learned how to predict the location of available spots. I head straight to the area where I am most likely to find parking and walk, but to locals this is absolutely baffling. "why don't you try to find a better spot?!"..
