I once rented a bike to get around Scottsdale AZ. I had a choice of a ful sus MTB or a Trek Evo, so I took the latter.

Trying to ride in Scottsdale was stressful: all the roads were 2 lane in each direction, with near-zero shoulder. I mostly rode in the non-existant shoulder, and got honked at.

At one point, I down-brifted and stomped on the pedal to go up a driveway apron and get out of the way of a truck.. and the rear mech shifted into the wheel.

I hate climbing the hill next to Hyland Lake ski jump, Bloomington MN , going to Friendship Village senior community

Today I realized I don't have to: there is an old railroad trail parallel to I-394, which was pretty and didn't even need my granny gear... Though there were trees to climb over.

Riding through Inver Grove Heights MN today, I was looking for a right turn onto Argenta Trail... but turned too early

..onto Argenta Trail.

Yes, IGH has two streets with the same name, intersecting the same street. But one is a dead-end.

Two of 8 #MetroTransitMN buses I rode yesterday were brand new :)

No huge differences: the LED sign is a bit orange (vs. red) & *bright*, a bit bigger, and was showing next stops, along with the audio announce. (The visual announce is broken in >50% of the old buses)

Stop buttons replaced pull-cords and are 90 degrees rotated from BRT placement

Winter was hard on my ebike battery contacts. Check yours!
