Mr. October was Reggie Jackson. Thus far, Jackson Chourio has been the Brewers Mr. October. Coincidence?

Just here to say this: if Fernando Tatis Jr. had made that catch for the Padres, all the baseball pundits would have been ooing and aahing over the defensive achievement and saying what tough luck it was for the Brewers. Let the haters hate. I just hope this doesn't fuel them, righteous retribution.

Things I never thought I'd see: a driver going through a red light on Layton and Nicholson, but in reverse. Yes, but we cyclists are entitled, need to be more visible, need to follow the laws and rules, and, most importantly, learn how to just share.

WatchedBen Collins on Stephanie Ruhle this morning. He's more than just The Onion; he was remarkably thoughtful and conversation provoking. David Gura was certainly engaged, and Molly Jong-Fast. He pushed back against the norm touted by Dan Nathan. It was a lively discussion.

This is the detour they provided. It's not just unusable for bikes; it's unusable for pedestrians as well. This area has been torn up for months, with this section torn up for weeks. This is unacceptable. Cutting off bike trail usage is unacceptable. Pedestrians had to navigate the wires as well.

The Milwaukee Common Council passed the restrictive 15 mph speed limit for all bikes, not just e-bikes. It goes before the County Supervisors on Oct. 1. Let your supervisor know your thoughts about limiting cyclists ability to use the space. They blame only cyclists for any issues on the trail.

My fellow MKE cyclists, especially those who regularly use the KKRT, KK, and Bay St. connection to Bay View and the southside. They are planning a sidewalk on the south side of the street, which is the most dangerous side. It features heavy dog walker traffic, so the sidewalk is the worst choice.

My sister and I walked the dogs on the Oak Leaf Trail between Ramsey and Pulaski. You don't realize how narrow the trail is until you're on foot on it, and it desperately needs repaving. It's been awhile since I've walked here. What a peaceful, beautiful place! There are hiking trails, too!

My frustration with Parks is they keep expanding trails when they haven't, can't, or won't maintain the trails we have. This is a money issue because they didn't do maintenance when they did have the funds. The trails are terrible where people use them. www.wisn.com/article/ribb...

Senator Ron Johnson thinks more competition is the way to regulate AI. What? AIs can create themselves, direct themselves, communicate with each other. We might be able to detect this now, but we might no be able to always do this. So, again, what? How does competition help?

Why are drivers such asses? I go through the intersection at Whitnall and Morgan going south. A driver of a silver Lexus turns right onto Whitnall and proceeds to nearly hit me, I am talking inches, maybe 3, which provokes me to yell, "What the fuck is the matter with you?" Read on ...

Do you remember where you were on this day? I was walking to work, and the attendant in the parking garage where you entered had the radio on. I heard that a plane had crashed into WTC. I thought, I must have misheard that and rushed upstairs, turned on the news. And we watched the second plane hit.

This is what happens when you bike to work sometimes: you forget your pants at home. But Retique is just down the road, so some new to me pants were obtained. Love it! Sometimes, I wear the pants I'm going to wear for the day to bike in, but I just didn't feel like it this morning.

I have it directly from Baumann: if you think the placement of bike infrastructure is odd, randomly ending, not connecting to anything or prioritizing the car, you're right. The Mayor/DPW adds lanes where they think they will fit, not necessarily where they're used, and that they prioritize cars.

The newly renovated Emhigh Playground is an asset to the neighborhood, including a multi-purpose trail and baseball diamond. It's a shame that they also had to expand and renovate a parking lot because access to this community park by any other form than a car is challenging and dangerous.

I wonder how long the KKRT will be closed when or if this building does collapse. I also wonder what route the City will detour cyclists to. Oh, that's right. They won't do that because they don't use the streets on a bike, and they also don't care.

ThatLisaonaBike @bikewaukee.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
It's not that there's a building about to collapse on Water (KKRT); it's that all the streets around it are highly unsafe, and even the ones with less traffic on them, such as Bruce/Florida, are unpassable. The City pays lip service to cyclists, not fixing what we actually use, including the trail!

Ah, I get it now. Vision Zero isn't about creating a safe transportation network for people in all modes of transportation to reach their destination in a timely fashion; it's about slowing car drivers down enough, so when they hit you, they don't kill you. It's about cars; it's only about cars.

My, god, this story illustrates just car-brained people are and how poor signage for our trail systems are in this city. Parks has added interior signage, but just about none on the roads to direct people. Also, why not have someone who bikes to that part? www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

But I'm home and my ride home was mostly lovely. This is why I am so frustrated. This is my route home. Another route is just as unsafe, if not more so. Chase or Howell - both have paint-only lanes. Chase's and Howell's traffic is also significantly more than Whitnall though Whitnall is busy.

I'm so glad DPW weighed parkers' safety above cyclists. Me: avoiding a truck parked in the paint lane; I waited to move over. Speeding driver in a blue sedan laying on his horn, nearly clipped my elbow. My gladness is leaking out of my eyes. Getting safely in your car on Whitnall is most important.

Why I hate speed bumps and stop signs. Drivers have many choices to get where they're going, namely the freeway. Bikes? Not so much. So, just when you get going, you have to stop or slow down. Speed bumps also don't work to change behavior. Careless drivers ruin the space cyclists have to use.

Drivers are exhausting. Basically begging: please, don't hit me. When they almost do, I get the finger. When I tell a driver it's illegal to pass on RR tracks and I have to cross them at 90 degrees. But you were in the middle of the road! To let you know I'm claiming the lane. F--- you, bitch! Sigh.

If you raise cattle for food, you're not a farmer. If you eat meat, and I do not, find a way to purchase from a local rancher. Work with your neighbors to purchase what you need. Know where your food comes from, how it was raised and killed. Eat less. Get better quality.

Blaming seniors for the debt. Why? 1. You eliminated pensions in favor of 401(k) plans. That's only good if you have the $$ to invest. 2. Wages aren't high enough to live on, support the economy by spending, and save. 3. Tax rates haven't adapted to need. 4. Tax cuts. 5. Seniors have to live, too!

Don't call it bike infrastructure. Let me explain: curb extensions on Lake Drive or any other street and pinned bump outs on Whitnall or Oklahoma are for pedestrians, not bikes. This infrastructure pushes cyclists closer to cars. Have you ever been close passed by a truck going 40 or even 30?
