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? On 2020/02/17 09:43, Robbie Webber via Bikies wrote: That new underpass at Old Middleton

[Bikies] Cyclocomputer found

I found a cyclo-computer head on the Ishtmus bike path (Cap City Trail, whatevah) today. Between Blount & Livingston. Still working, apparently. Let me know if you've lost one, and pass the word. -- Paul T. O'Leary Chronic Nuisance Madison, WI USA

Matt, will there be more of these events before the giveaway? Esp. involving working on the bikes? And if so, can they be announced here a couple days in advance? I might have opted to attend this if I had heard about it the day before. I definitely want to help wrench on bikes for these

[Bikies] Path conditions - eek!

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

You mean "John No-Lane". Damn. Love him or hate him, I don't reckon we'll see his kind around anytime soon. I say we all plant out our terraces in pollinator gardens in his honor. Godspeed, Tim. On 2017/06/27 22:33, Robbie Webber via Bikies wrote: Tim Wong passed from this world on

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,
