Yeah, I tried to find it on an aerial map and street view, but came up 
empty. So it connects you from Old Mid to the neighborhood of Craig Ave, 
by passing under the tracks that are parallel to Old Mid?

Free Bikes for Kidz collects thousands of bikes from the Madison 
community and brings together over 600 volunteers to fix up the bikes 
and give them away to Madison kids. This year our goal is to give away 
1,500 bikes next month!


Join us for an evening at the Free Bikes 4 Kidz Madison workshop to 
connect with members of the staff and board and learn about the impact 
we're making in the Madison area. Some of the kids and our community 
partners will join us too! Get a behind the scenes look at what it 
takes to get 1,500 bikes into the hands of kids and families, ensuring 
that every kid, regardless of income level or neighborhood, can 
experience the joy, health, and freedom that a bike provides.


We'll have complementary food and beer, guided workshop tours, and a 
brief presentation at 6pm.

Re: [Bikies] Advice for Next Week's Sub-Zero Temps

2019-01-24 Thread Paul T. O'Leary via Bikies
So far, what I've found is that, with a balaclava and just my regular 
glasses, my breath fogs up the glasses pretty quick. This year I got a 
Scott brand MTB-purposed "OTG" (over-the-glasses) goggle, and for 
whatever reason, it does NOT fog up from my breath, except on rare 
occasion when I stop. And it usually clears in a few seconds. Must be 
something different about the airflow with the goggle, but I'm effed if 
I know what.


I did treat the lens with some snake-oil anti-fog lens "treatment" 
someone was hawking at a booth at Ironman this year. No idea if it's 
actually making a difference, but so far the setup is working for me.


I also widened out the nostril opening on the balaclava, because it was 
otherwise a tight fit and pinching my quasi-Durantean nose. I reckon 
this is directing my exhalations downward away from the goggle.

[Bikies] Path conditions - eek!

2019-01-02 Thread Paul T. O'Leary via Bikies
Granted, this is the first time in years that I've cycle-commuted in 
winter. But I don't remember path conditions being as bad back then as 
they were today (Wed), both AM and PM. Esp. given this is the first 
"real" snowfall of the season, this does not bode well. This is on the 
Cap City west of Ingersoll, and the "missing link" and Southwest out to 
Midvale. Yesterday (Tue), things were a bit sketchy, but reasonably 
passable. It had been plowed, but had fresh snow that had been compacted 
by foot and cycle traffic. My WAG is that someone was sent out late 
Monday, while the snow was still falling, to plow what had fallen so 
far, but did not want to pay to have someone plow again on New Year's 
Day AFTER the last of the snowfall.


Wed AM, the inbound side of the Cap City had been sanded, but nothing 
more had been plowed. By afternoon, it had turned to rutted cobblestone. 
It was better on the streets; even the unplowed streets at least had 
fairly smooth flat snow.


I **HOPE** this was an exception, based on it being a holiday and the 
timing of the snowfall. Or is this the level of maintenance / commuting 
conditions we can expect "for the duration"?

Re: [Bikies] FW: [Bike Madison Updates] Flooding Updates: Capital City Trail CLOSED at Monona Terrace

There is precedence for this; wasn't it just earlier this year? Some 
reconstruction work on the path, and they used the right lane. This

What a bummer.


While the nature of this latest closure may be surprising, another 
closure certainly isn't. How many times has it been closed already? 
How many more times in the next several months before everything's 
back to normal?


I'm disappointed that city staff has been so reluctant to consider 
putting the jersey barriers up on the 3rd lane of John Nolen to create 
a usable and sustainable detour for this busiest segment of bike path 
in Madison. The impact on drivers and passengers of motor vehicles 
would be very low and it would make the world of difference to path users.


I'm glad the sandbags and pumps have worked as well as they have, but 
our bike network is too thin and fragile to accommodate these frequent 
and unpredictable closures on a route that has no good alternative for 
most riders. Even if mother nature treats us perfectly and the lakes 
continue to go down over the next 3 months, there's still all the work 
in pulling out the sandbags and cleaning up. The pavement is badly 
damaged and the large cracks should probably get patched before winter 
or maybe there will be work needed on the shoreline? How many times 
will the path need to be closed for all of that? How much nicer would 
it be for city staff and contractors that have to be down there 
working to not have to fight with path users trying to sort there way 
through the mess?


Put up the detour already and pull it down when everything's finally 
cleared up.

If you didn't know Tim, you really missed a true Madison character, 
and someone who you can thank for starting some of the bike advocacy 
that continues today.


Maybe some on this list who remember farther back than me can share 
some of his early adventures, like the mass, simultaneous flats that a 
group got at the intersection of John Nolen, Blair, and Willy St. If 
you think that intersection is bad now, you can thank Tim that it 
isn't worse. I don't know the whole story, but I know that Tim helped 
organize a protest that made it at least somewhat safer for bicyclists 
and pedestrians at a time when almost no one rode a bike for 
transportation.


Tim wrote more letters, showed up at more meetings, and spoke at more 
city committees than almost anyone I've known. He never owned a car, 
and was probably the person that first coined the term "death-mobile." 
Tim was not subtle about his distaste for cars and driving. He could 
be irritating and alienated some people -- including his allies. But 
you could never say he didn't speak his mind and stand up for what he 
believed.


Tim was 69, and rode his bike everywhere until a month ago, when he 
fell (not while riding) and hit his head, leading to complications 
that ultimately led to his death.


If you knew Tim and didn't know he was in the hospital, this may come 
as a shock. If you didn't know him, you have no idea how far back his 
advocacy for bicycling goes. He wasn't always easy to work with, but 
he will be deeply missed.


Rest in peace, Tim.

Re: [Bikies] What's happening with the Monona Terrace bike elevator

2017-02-23 Thread Paul T. O'Leary via Bikies
Actually, what would be most helpful would be signs at Broom and Blair, 
indicating the elevator down. Those are the points at which commuters 
can actually use the information to select an alternate route. Imagine a 
road being torn up in the middle of a several-mile stretch between two 
roads, and a "Road Closed" sign only at the point the road is torn up, 
and no signs at the intersections at either end of that stretch of road. 
That's about how useful the sign on the door is.


IOW, MT staff have to think of the elevator as a road.

to the elevator and saw the Out of Order sign and had to take a detour to

I wonder if any studies have been done on the effectiveness of the 
"light-up" NTOR signs that light up based on the traffic signal status. 
E.g. Atwood Ave at the Harmony Bar corner. As a motor vehicle driver, I 
find them eye-catching. If I had my druthers, every NTOR in the state 
would be so rigged. Either that, or the statute language / signage would 
be "flipped", so that the corners that _allow_ turn on red would have a 
"Right Allowed on Red After Stop (xxx time range)" sign, and the law 
would explicitly forbid the turn unless the sign is present (and in 
effect). I'm, er, not holding my breath. Meanwhile, this intersection 
would be an ideal candidate for a light-up sign, if indeed they're as 
effective as they appear (to me) to be.

I rode a few miles of the Military Ridge trail yesterday, near Blue 
Mound State Park and Brigham County Park, and there were a lot of holes, 
a few ruts, and a lot of loose sand. I attributed the sand to whatever 
naturally happens when the trail freezes and thaws several times. I 
attributed the holes to chipmunks and other similar-sized critters. I 
don't imagine there was sufficient pedestrian traffic over the winter on 
this part of the trail to create the number of holes I encountered, but 
that's just conjecture on my part.
