@RobMayeda Confirmed T storms in San Rafael. Just had about 20 mins of very heavy rain.

And people say cyclists are entitled…

@icgee @Caltrain @SFBART Any idea how long it takes to go from the Embarcadero to the Caltrain stop? I could potentially use this to transfer from a ferry to Caltrain.

@WarrenJWells You’re so right.

We did a mini bike bus on the way to daycare from a weekly bagel meetup recently, and the next time we had bagels, without prompting my toddler asked, “are we doing a bike bus?!”

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells We’ve got over 1500 miles in 2 years of owning ours. CA and the feds should def include e-bikes in EV incentive programs.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@NickPinkston It’s actually run by the non-profit Presido Trust, not the US Park Service. It receives no federal funding.

@nhfoley @boxcardavid @sdamico I feel you with my gas Ooni and a weak breeze... I want to watch this space for an electric alternative. I'm already eyeing an electric outdoor grill because I'm so over refilling LP tanks (and how cool would it be to grill with power straight from onsite PVs!?).

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@michelletandler @typesfast Maybe so the tracks don’t flood when they go over a river? Idk seems like a good idea.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@KenjiCapital With all the incentives and the fact you’re upgrading the electrical for the building, why did you not put electric heating in? Such as heat pumps so tenants could get heating and cooling through the same unit?

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells Yeah, totally fine. A bit spooked. Crazy how the sidewall of a Model 3 is the same height as a flatbed truck's tire. You start to understand the physics and dimensions of why some folks want that SUV... the knock-on effects to these policies (or lack thereof) are significant.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells Dang. This is disappointing.
I'm now keenly aware of why side guards are important, having been inches away from going under a flatbed truck yesterday as the driver cut off the car I was riding in.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells ☝️this! Tho I have no idea what PSU is.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@LukeBornheimer Yeah, that’s the issue. I haven’t been able to deal with the scrolling. Will try on desktop.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@LukeBornheimer Ugh I just tried the survey and it’s not mobile friendly.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@anniefryman It’s the best! Great notes by others above.

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@saradietschy This article sums it up well. https://t.co/sLf08UgmXX

@WarrenJWells I feel like I've become much more attuned to seeing the built environment in new eyes in the time since I was last in Singapore (which, my goodness, was seven years ago).

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells Wow, I did not know that. I've been there many times and ridden the bus several times too. I just did a spot check and boom, bollards!

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@icgee Seems like this is a classic symptom of our jobs/housing imbalance and the resulting supercommutes.
Super interesting to have the data though.
Crazy that 26% of trips (a lot!) are only 0-1 miles yet are only 1% of total VMT. Walking and biking are still important!

[Dave Rhoads @daverhoads]

@WarrenJWells Only the Shopvac kind...
