How do they handle entering and exiting that central bike lane?

At an old motorway bridge in Germany from the 1960s, they have stairs on
both sides of the river which is perfectly fine for pedestrians/joggers
and better than cycling to the nearest other bridge for cyclists.

Indeed creepy. I always wondered what the fun is for a recreatinal ride
on that kind of roads with cars buzzing by left and right. Would drive me crazy.

Well as far as the bridge, it's a way to get between Washington State
and Vancouver BC. I assume the point is for her to go for a ride around
Vancouver. Maybe she's going crab cakes in Stanley Park...


I think the bridge goes to Vancouver WA, not Vancouver BC.

The Bike Gallery (Trek) shop downtown also has one of the Orbea
Gain series.
https://www.orbea.com/us-en/ebikes/r...ain-m20-usa-19


Orbea also has a groovy gravel e-assist:
https://www.orbea.com/us-en/ebikes/r...ain-m21-usa-19


Also available in aluminum, although I'm not a 1X fan. The stealth
e-assist bike is becoming really popular. Muzi's Bianchi is
beautiful. Some of the e-assists aren't that stealthy. The
Cannondale Synapse looks like a pregnant guppy. I'd get a
full-on eBike if I lived somewhere like Vancouver and commuted to
downtown -- beat the traffic over the bridge and fly into town.
It's kind of like cheating.



It is. Might as well get the real deal then, zero to 60mph in 3.4
seconds:

Neat, but you get stuck in traffic, at least in Oregon where
lane-sharing is NOT legal. In California you can split the lanes on
your eMotorcycle which, BTW, scares the hell out of visitors -- like
me. I don't remember it being legal when I lived there.

Around here, you could take the bike lanes/paths and beat the
traffic. Come over the I-205 bridge from Vancouver (where living is
cheaper) and take bike paths and lanes almost all the way downtown
PDX.

It's quite narrow. In California you'd have homeless sleeping there.
They do not always react friendly when someone on a bike in encroaching
on "their" space and some this had to be censored activist judge
declared it "unconstitutional" to make them move away from such spots.


But for my current short commute and weekend riding, yes, going
electric would move me one step closer to the potato abyss.


A buddy is trying to convince me to retrofit my bikes with electric
like he did. I keep telling him "When I am 85. Maybe. Or maybe
not".


The hardest part of growing old is learning to be slow and happy.
I've got the slow part down, but happy is eluding me. I may have to
get a stealth e-assist bike to get happy. Or medication. We'll see.


I am ok with slowing down. I can still put down the hammer and pass even
young whippersnappers but 20mins into that I run out of breath.

My medicine is stopping here and there to pet a dog or a horse, talk to
people, watch fighter jet pilots practice, sit on a rock in a pristine
nature environment doing a difficult electronics design. Of course, this
often requires the use of an MTB. Which is one reason why I have it.

OK, that looks well thought out.

I'm sure it's damned noisy to ride, but I wish every freeway ever
constructed had bike accommodations included, one way or another. And
crossing opportunities for bikes and peds at least once per mile in
cities. It would have added almost nothing, percentagewise, to the cost
of the freeway.

Regarding noise: Once when I rode from Toronto back to NE Ohio, I was
right alongside a Canadian freeway for quite a while. I was very glad
about the noise barrier wall that was sometimes there.

I prefer my old BMW. I _can_ maintain anything on it. But unlike a

It's the standard width of a separated bike path. Homeless are further south along I-205, which is like little Calcutta or Night of the Living Dead.

A judge is declared an activist judge if he or she reaches a conclusion that someone doesn't like. BTW, it would be activist judges -- plural. The Circuit Court of Appeals (including the Ninth Circuit) sit in panels of three.. I just won a case there for an insurance company in the Ninth Circuit and have won for a number of business defendants, so its not entirely a liberal give-away court. My favorite was representing Wild Turkey, Coors, Miller and Anheuser-Bush in a suit brought by a pro se prisoner who sued the various brewers and distillers for selling him booze and beer, which ruined his life and led him down the road to criminality. No argument and a memo opinion. The court is pretty tough on crazy pro se litigants.

Just had another lane-splitter seriously injured this morning on the news. The problem is that you're not supposed to lane split more than 15 mph faster than the adjacent traffic and NO ONE does that. The traffic will be stopped and the motorcycles will be splitting lanes at 60+ mph. Then some knucklehead who is in the HOV without permission will decide that the lane next to him is going 1/100th mph faster and will pull over without looking. SMASH - and another one bites the dust.

In that case do not ride in California. Not only will they pass you on both sides and then pull directly in front of you and then brake but they will not allow you to pass a car stopped by the side of the road.
