AI6YR BenWorst bicycle racks ever. At least if you have a U lock. I think these go in the "destroy your front tire" category. (Update: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@woelfisch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@woelfisch</a> informs me that this is called a "Felgenbieger" (rim bender) rack, in Germany and I'm going with it!

JesseCritical Mass Footscray was good. The ride down Dynon Rd was a bit somber as we let the cars use one lane. But the ride to the rainbow bridge was nice Lots of fun bicycles. I got a photo of a side-by-side tandem.We want to government to open to Dynon Rd cycle bridge that replaces the Dynon Rd footpath that has been removed and turned in to a car lane. The bridge ('Rainbow Bridge') has been largely complete for years but is fenced off.We also want to Dynon Rd bike path extended west up to Barkley St so people can use it to get to the Footscray shops.We had 3 councilors from the Maribyrnong council along for the ride which was really great as well as the Green's candidate for Fraser.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriticalMass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalMass</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CriticalMassMelbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriticalMassMelbourne</a>

JesseSystematic Safety acknowledges that people make mistakes, but that small mistakes shouldn't result in death and serious injury. This often means that small mistakes should be able to be recovered from a bit later or by another party.In this case a good road design would allow the truck driver to recover from their earlier mistake of not seeing the cyclist and for the the cyclist to recover from the truck driver's mistake and be able to stop safely to avoid the collision.Protected bike lanes provide systematic safety by completely removing interactions with cars or trucks so motorists can't make the mistake of merging in to a cyclist from the side. Protected bicycle intersections provide systematic safety by allowing cyclists to take action to maintain their safety if a motorist fails to yield during a left turn by providing the cyclist time to see the mistake and a safe place to stop to avoid the collision. They also slow the driver that is turning to allow them time to notice their own mistake so they can brake either avoiding the collision entirely or having the collision at a safer speed. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a>

JesseA women on a bicycle was hit by a truck on Sommerville Rd in Yarraville a month ago.The police haven't charged the truck driver with anything and I really don't think they should. The truck driver is also a victim of this road design. Prosecuting the truck driver won't achieve anything. It won't make truck drivers more careful and it won't stop incidents like this happening again.This incident was inevitable because of the road design and will happen again because of the road design.Sommerville Rd has a 90cm wide painted bike lane that is the door zone of parked cars. So if you're riding there you'll want to be as far right in the bike lane as you can be. This means that the maximum distance that a truck can pass a cyclist on this road is 1.3 metres if they hug the centre line. This makes it unlikely that a truck driver will actually give a cyclist the 1m required passing distance and it means that cyclists are in the blindest blindspot of a truck once the truck has started overtaking them.The intersection where this incident happened at is Williamstown Rd (<a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/bbWNFEPdVrcqbAVi8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://maps.app.goo.gl/bbWNFEPdVrcqbAVi8</a>)The bike lane narrows and then just ends and merges in to the left/forward lane which is the lane motorists are also merging in to so they can get around right turning cars in the right lane. From a vehicular cycling perspective, cyclists should be taking the middle of the single traffic lane before the intersection and before it splits in two so traffic is behind them not merging from beside them. That's the only way this could possibly work but that's not what the lane markings indicate and requires getting in front of 50km/h traffic that isn't expecting you to merge right. So instead the cyclist moves off to the left getting in to a less visible position from the merging traffic and runs out of road.Even if the truck driver sees the cyclists in the few seconds of their approach, once they're beside the cyclist the cyclist is in their blindspot and they can't see the cyclist at all. Add a bit of stop start in traffic and a slight distraction and the truck driver will have lost track of the position of the cyclist by the time they get to the merge.Expecting a human being to be this vigilant over a 12hr shift is just insane.Blaming the truck driver is letting Transport Victoria off. The engineers that designed this dangerous road knew they were building a dangerous road and they also knew it when it was rebuilt (less than 2 yrs ago) to continue to be this dangerous. The engineers are to blame and fixing the road and the culture that created the road is the only way incidents like this can be prevented in future.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RoadSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RoadSafety</a><a href="https://maribyrnonghobsonsbay.starweekly.com.au/news/road-set-up-for-failure/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://maribyrnonghobsonsbay.starweekly.com.au/news/road-set-up-for-failure/</a>

JesseMy partner got an e-bike a 2 months ago and went from someone that rarely rides and only rides with me to someone that rides everywhere on her own. She's ridden 400km since we got the bike in December which is more than she rode in the last decade on her manual bike.She tried an e-bike 10yrs ago but got really self-conscious about it because she thought other cyclists were looking down on her for being fat and 'cheating' at cycling.She's now doing an 8.6km commute three days a week to her horticulture course.She got a Vyron Cumulus (<a href="https://vyronelectricbikes.com.au/product/cumulus-step-through-commuter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://vyronelectricbikes.com.au/product/cumulus-step-through-commuter/</a>) from Vyron Electric Bikes on the Upfield Path in Brunswick.$1530, hub drive with a ~50km range.<a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EBikesChangeLives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EBikesChangeLives</a>

JesseLooks like a good turnout for the weather. The 'back to the future' theme was probably a bad choice. Not a lot of people dressed up.

It's land policy reform that is the solution we need, in addition to banning cars.We must bring homes and destinations closer.

Sam WhitedIf you know anyone looking for a rather unique bicycle mechanic job in the Atlanta area, one of my favorite places in the world, Sopo Bicycle Co-op, is hiring a part-time shop coordinator!

Min :neofox_fingerguns:Out of curiosity, anybody here know anything about ebikes? I'm thinking about getting a Lectric XPedition 2.0, but I've never used an ebike before and it's been a couple decades since I've used a normal bicycle, so I'm trying to figure out what I need to know. I hate driving, but I hesitate because I live in a city that is incredibly bicycle-unfriendly. It's very hilly, most streets don't have bicycle lanes, most commercial areas don't have bicycle racks, and everything is very spread out. I'm looking around now, and I think there are bicycle lanes or trails that can get me to most of where I need to go within a 5 mile radius. It'd also be a nice way to get some exercise since I mostly just sit at a desk all day. So I think it's feasible, I'm just trying to figure out if that's a good bike and what else I need. It'd also be nice to be able to carry a second adult and/or some bags... <a href="https://fuzzyfox.social/tags/bicycles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> <a href="https://fuzzyfox.social/tags/ebikes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ebikes</a>

Edward Hasbrouck<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@chu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chu</a> - Don't question spending money on bikes. I just turned 65. If I'd spent all the money I've spent in my life on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a> on a single motor vehicle, nobody would have questioned it. People *go into debt* to buy cars that cost more than I've spent on any single purchase in my life except a house, and that's considered normal!

JesseJust over a year after they lifted this bridge into place it's finally open. It's a bridge across the Moonee Ponds Creek on Dynon Rd. It replaces the narrow Dynon Rd footpath that closed 4yrs ago. I rode across it, it's a fine bridge. It's weird that it took so long to open it. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#melbourne</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bicycles</a>
