Delivery trucks have always illegally stopped in lanes, blocking traffic and making cycling dangerous. It's better now and more orderly, even if not perfect. The bus lanes and stops are a big improvement.

It was almost four years ago that Nina Larson was killed by a driver as she crossed Columbia Road NW in Adams Morgan. (Story: dcist.com/story/21/11/...) It took until this week for the driver to be found guilty of two misdemeanor offenses.

This includes new memorials for loved ones who were killed while bicycling sometime in the past year and a half, plus previous memorials that were in need of care and replacement. ❤️🩹

Tried to make a cube like @mohitbhoite.bsky.social but it was a bit of a fail. I think it need to go a lot heavier on the flux. I ended up having to really heat the brass rods and applying solder vs just dabbing a small spot of solder from the tip of the iron… also need to measure against a template

It took a little work - and a Google image search, but I tracked down the clamp @mohitbhoite.bsky.social was using in his video:

I also ordered a Machinists Angle Plates from eBay to attach it to… too
