Gov. Brown signs '3 ft for cyclists' law
I think this is great news for the cycling community. In addition, maybe there is a flickering of recognition that there are alternatives to DRIVING Everywhere.
Sweet Bar: Totally 5
star
Per my earlier posts,
I spent most of August and a bit of Sept. in Spain, Germany and the Czech
Republic and sampled a fair number of baked goods and cappuccinos. It is most disappointing that in these 3
countries, espresso drinks come mostly from the automatic machines. Some friends recently cycled through France and Spain and found the same situation.Anyway, earlier this week, I happened to be down near Broadway and 24th in Oakland, and stopped into Sweet Bar Bakery. Their croissants and espresso drinks put to shame any that I had in Europe! So now the question is: Why even leave NorCal?
When 2 wheels aren’t enough:
The month of sedentary vacation took a heavy toll on my fitness, and as I am doing the BORP Revolution ride on Saturday (Sept 28), I took an long (55mi) ride today, basically so I could do my suffering in private. The route was Lake Merritt to Danville and back, with a stop at La Boulange in Danville (see blog post for Monday, July 8). On the way back, I rode a bit on the Moraga-Lafayette trail and came across a gent on a trike with electric assist.
It isn’t fast, but he said it could go up reasonable hills,
and it has a big red cargo box on the back – great for grocery shopping! He said he had given up owning a car and just
rents one when necessary.
