Feels good to build a bike and show it off to friends and have them say hell yeah. This thing is so sick
Almost got crushed by a truck on my first ride on my new bike. My first thought was "not on the first ride!"

On the occasion of Elon Musk pretending that he reads books, I thought I’d reshare my “100 Best Books On City-Making Ever Written” article in @planetizen.bsky.social. It’s 12 years old and needs updating, and got plently of debate back then, but I’d still recommend most of these. #UrbanismBookClub
