Apparently passing laws for vehicles passing bicyclists is unidirectional in Pennsylvania. I increasingly get good passes in the same direction, but I get the "squeeze by" from oncoming traffic on side streets, even when there's room for them to pull aside like they do for cars. #bikesky

I grew up driving in Chicago. I hate driving in either place now. It's not driving. It's motorized survival.

Amazing how a parking chair gets more respect than red lights, stop signs, sidewalks, people on foot, and people on bikes. Maybe if I rode my bike dressed as a parking chair... #bikesky #pittsburgh

Just put 50% down for a home renovation project, and our leadership decides 50% tarriffs on Canada would somehow be a good thing. I can't absorb a 50% increase on wood for the project. I'm discussing options that include canceling indefinitely. 🤬🤬🤬 #pittsburgh

2/2 as karma would have it, they drove down the street to wind up behind a large group ride of at least 30 riders. The only way it could have been better is if a city cop was behind them when they passed me.

1/2 One of my worst fears almost materialized today. I stopped for a yellow light and put a foot down. The jackass behind me combined a close pass with running the red. On the bright side, they didn't run the light *through* me. (more) #bikesky

3/3 Then he asks if I heard anything from HR. I look at the review and see it has the updated title. Nothing from HR. No idea yet what my new comp is. Not expecting a parade or anything, but this was pretty much mailing it in. Welcome to the new corporate way I guess. 😂

Looking forward to seeing it. Little 500 indirectly got me into bicycling. 42 years ago my closest friend asked if I wanted to try out for the team. That didn't work out, but we started riding together regularly four years ago and it influenced me to buy a bike and ride every day I can.

2/2 After screaming at me because he had the light, he took off after I made it to the sidewalk. No injury, no bike damage. Hit and run police report filed anyway for data recording purposes. I have no illusions of police followup.

1/2 I was nearly hit in York, PA today while in the crosswalk by a driver on the opposite side making a right turn. I swerved and fell, which probably saved my right leg from being broken. We both had the green light and I had the pedestrian light. (more) #bikesky

Damn. Memorial Day weekend was still 50-60F and then Mother Nature flipped the switch. Sunday I left the house and it was 65F. When I turned around 30mi later, it was almost 90F. I bonked hard when I got home from that heat and humidity switch.

2/3 As the pickup truck rolled up, the driver saw me, stopped, then floored it through the intersection in a show of masculinity heading to the 15th St. bridge. As I got to the top of the path at the bridge, I saw the truck pulled over (more)

As someone who has worked with the PPS board in the past, it doesn't surprise me in the least. It's a shame. Everyone thinks it's cost and teachers. It's leadership or the lack thereof, plain and simple. School leadership to admin to board.

Betting he's never toured an operating data center. Once you get past the construction, there are maybe a few people per shift working during normal operation for systems monitoring and security. Certainly not enough wages being paid to provide sustainable wage tax revenue.

This jagoff couldn't be bothered with actually pulling to the curb. It's not like they had to quest for space or couldn't fit. Maybe they just can't parellel park despite at least 30ft of open space. #bikesky #pittsburgh

If that vehicle was seen in my neighborhood, the neighbors would plotz. I love it, but the non-bike community here is far less enlightened. Might be less of an issue if bagel distribution was happening though. Never knew Montreal bagels were a thing.

Love this. I still have vivid memories of my sole attempt at joining the house team. I got back to the house, fell off the bike, army-crawled into the house to the kitchen, parked myself under the lemonade dispenser, rolled, and hit the spigot. I think I drained it. Kudos to all the riders!

Our neighborhood streets weren't meant for interstate overflow. To compound the issue, two bridges in an adjacent neighborhood are closed for repairs, forcing two detours on the same streets. Not sure what the solution is, but it sure as hell isn't sustainable. Our neighborhood deserves better.

1/2 Let's talk detours. The main artery through our city neighborhood runs parallel to an interstate. Drivers will our neighborhood streets to bypass rush-hour backups and jump on the interstate right before a tunnel. (nore) #urbanism #pittsburgh

Yeah. I have two miles downhill to the trail and nearly six miles back from the trail. Downhill has three dangerous intersections, and heading back has two. I am thankful that's all I normally need to deal with.

I do this in the US. At one intersection I ride through, I've gotten really good at the "two-wheeled Heisman" telling drivers to hold their position. Then I'll thank them with a peace sign wave. Sometimes it works. Sometimes I get cut off and have to sprint through weed-infused exhaust.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 ClimbosaurusRex - Greenfield/Pittsburgh PA US @brubernator.com · 20/04/2026
Yes. My street has streetlights. Even with street lights on and house lights on, our backup camera gets totally blinded if vehicle lights are directly behind. I'll have to try that out with my bike light on high and see what it does.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 ClimbosaurusRex - Greenfield/Pittsburgh PA US @brubernator.com · 20/04/2026
Totally possible. My car does this. At night, the rear cam on my car is completely blinded by lights within 50ft. Happens when I try to parallel park and a car is waiting behind me. Maybe he's just stupid, but is it possible the driver saw a single white light behind, and didn't know what it was?

Summer of 2023, my first ride in 25 years was 150mi over 3-1/2 days with one of my closest friends. I bought my endurance bike the night I got home. Last summer I had my best doctor's appointment ever. Weight,blood sugar,and blood pressure all down by riding 500mi/month.
