An outline of the state of New Jersey. In 1909, in the town of Newton in Sussex County, a young girl and her two older brothers were playing in the woods near the town cemetery. Margaret discovered the entrance to a cave which led into a vast labyrinth of limestone tunnels far under Newton. Defying her brothers’ warnings, Margaret dashed into the darkness of the cave. Her brothers, John and Howard, quickly followed Margaret into the cave and down deep into the caverns, calling her name until they were hoarse. None of the children emerged from the cave that afternoon. Days passed, then weeks. Every search party returned empty-handed, forlorn and dejected. Eventually the town sealed off the entrance to the cave, embedding a grave marker with Margaret, John, and Howard’s names into the concrete barrier. In June 2033, in Jenny Jump State Forest in Warren County, about 30 miles southwest of Newton, three children emerged from a cave in the park. They were a bit hungry, having missed their dinner, and a little scraped up, but otherwise perfectly fine. They told the astonished park ranger that their names were Margaret, John, and Howard, and could he help them get home to their mother and father?

Had to get a new wheel and all it took was a train ride to a bike shop in Madison, NJ and too much money but now i am fully "Back on my BS" (Back on my Bicycle, Sir).

I knew this was what his dogs looked like because when he was my State Senator (before maps got redrawn) he sent me a Christmas card with a family photo on the front of him and his wife and the dogs. Kinda wish I kept it.

David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Yeah. I can see why this kinda thing is counterproductive. My best explanation is that you get involved and you'll go out and see somebody in your city die under a box truck and some haters come out and want to know if they were wearing a helmet and like that makes you insane.

Ok fair. I'm not doing that. I got pilled on safe streets because pushing a baby around my city in a stroller felt way too dangerous, and i can see why an activist blog does this for clicks bc it's crazy-making to always feel like everyone underestimates the danger cars pose to tiny squishy bodies.

I mean, like, I get it, but on the other hand lots of people rely on riding bikes to get to and do their jobs, and three people on bikes were killed in hit & run crashes in less than a week in NYC (which is supposed to be one of the most bike-friendly cities in the U.S.). It's me, I'm the somebody?

A handful of professional cyclists have been hit by cars before and during races this summer and it was inevitable that one of these crashes would end in death. It should be obvious by now that we persistently underestimate and ignore the danger that cars pose to people.

This was a great book, all the more impressive for the fact that @jonathanslaght.com managed to turn a second-hand account into an adventure story that felt really personal and urgent.
