If a car took up one of only two parking spots and was missing all its parts, it would get hauled away in 24 hours. A bike? Working on two months.
May 1. A Kona bike frame locked to a bike rack. Missing everything except the cranks, front ring and pedals. April 15. A Kona bike frame locked to a bike rack. Missing everything except the cranks, front ring and pedals. A Spin scooter rests precariously next to it. May 10. A Kona bike frame locked to a bike rack. Missing everything except the cranks, front ring and pedals. A capital bike share electric bike and a lime scooter share as well. Some litter. A sticker. A hair clip. May 5. The Kona Frame remains solo on the bike rack. There is no litter on the ground.

A bridge over which I have cycled.
An iron bridge from an old rail trail. Bicycle facing the. Ridge off to the side with autumn leaves on left and right. Sky above. The path to the bridge is wide and clear and flat and free from potholes with only a few scattered leaves. A large rock wall is on the right before the bridge.

I borrowed a bike case from the Washington Area Bicyclist Association last year and needed to transport it back. Jerry-rigged some backpack straps on it and biked it over.
A big ass plastic bike case with some backpack straps tied on. The author carrying said backpack contraption.

Would be great to use AI just once for a real fact question and not find mistakes. I’ve had similar issues with ChatGPT and copilot. They are good if you have no idea what you’re doing and bad if you have some idea.
Me asking Anthropocene what planet has the longest day. It telling me it’s Venus, with 116 earth days and then in the same answer listing Mercury as 176. Me asking Anthropic why it would do such a thing and it telling me what I want to hear.
