My day-late reflection of 9/11 - I think it was the first time I realized how much other people hated US, and it's that kind of hate that really motivates you to look inward and do some serious self-reflection.
How long is the Railroad St construction, @PghDOMI? It's the only relatively safe road for bikes through the Strip, now it's inaccessible. Thanks to the detour from Smallman, other all roads are full of confused & frustrated drivers. Safe Strip for Bikes plz @BikePGH
@AndrewBrownPgh@PghDOMI On the other hand, massive construction along Railroad Street seems to be starting this morning. One of the few streets that remain somewhat safe for cyclists will be out of commission for who knows how long.

@JodyBrownArch I remember I had to do some handrail details during the Covid WFH quarantine and wondering how important this was when humanity was on the verge of extinction
Friday’s @pghcriticalmass was glorious. Even the non-riders (ok, most) had a huge smile on their faces, taking videos etc. Also to the tall costumed corker that said to me ‘Fixed gear + chrome bag goes together like PB+J’ I appreciate you!
