My apologies once again. I was in the middle of writing Wednesday’s post when Spectrum went down, and stayed down. Now they say it won’t be back up until 5 am, which is just a tad too late to start working again. So I’m giving up and going to bed. We’ll try again, once again, tomorrow.

Again, something I notice in Ca. even over other places I’ve lived is how endless car-dependent development, hand-in-hand with sweetheart property tax levels set by Prop 13, induce seniors to stay in places where they need cars for daily life.

When people ask, “why do you care so much about transportation safety in Bend?”
It’s so stuff like this never happens here. Absolutely heartbreaking.

I'm not going to apologize for last night's meltdown. But it's another reminder that it's okay to not be okay. Do what you need to feel better, or reach out for help if you need it. We all have those days when we're not okay. And that's okay.

Never have I ever...reached out to someone hosting a Go Fund Me page for more information, and gotten a vaguely threatening email from a lawyer from the victim's family. Until today.

It’s been a year of having using a flag to create a conversation instead confrontation.
Through effective non verbal communication I can clearly share with drivers what space is required for cycling safety.
This is the most significant thing I’ve ever done for my personal safety.
Version 2 soon!

Repurposing a child’s kickstand and an ATV flag to create a visual reminder of what 3 feet is for drivers.
It’s hard to gauge distances at speed. This flexible and strong flag should provided much needed space to my family as we use our #CargoBike for travel.
