The Brompton sprockets are easy to clean—if you know how. That yellow spacer between the 13 and 16 is always visible when a Trophy tune-up is completed.

WE HAVE SOME FEELS about @bromptonbicycle.bsky.social discontinuing their biggest seller. OUR UNDERSTANDING is that the 12-speed will be the new core model going forward (we’ve got them in stock right now), along with a 4-speed version (haven’t ridden one yet!) • COME THROUGH and we can discuss.

Heard this one? The City of Barcelona traded 3 lanes of vehicle traffic for an exceptional 4.7km green pedestrian corridor in the heart of the Eixample grid. Businesses sued, & eventually won in court. Then they admitted that they actually like the change.
Streets for people are good for business.

i really can't get over what rank choice voting does to the dynamic of campaigns and between candidates
regardless of its merits (which seem very good), it's just a healthier political dynamic

Inquirer architecture critic Inga Saffron published a powerful column criticizing the project’s design and disregard for neighborhood impact.
The dramatic new Schuylkill Banks bridge & trail promises to improve access for Philly’s isolated Grays Ferry neighborhood. So what’s the first big project that gets built? A giant garage. My column explains how that undercuts a legacy of planning. www.inquirer.com/columnists/c...
Grays Ferry Avenue is already a speedway. CHOP’s mammoth garage will make it even worse.
The garage threatens to undermine the transformation of the neighborhood, recently improved by the new Schuylkill Banks bridge.

So this guy Jeff B, an “avid cyclist” who’s part of the new ‘FIENDS of Pine & Spruce’, a group of concern-y citizen-motorists who oppose all protected bike lanes, got in my face at today’s opening celebration for the new Christian-to-Crescent bike path. The irony of our location utterly escaped JB.

A parking garage at 3000 Grays Ferry Ave. is headed to CDR. This CHOP-affiliated structure will rise six stories and include parking for *1,005* vehicles - which seems a bit obscene for this unusual location that's between their eastern and western campuses. Maybe more to come?

This administration is punishing millennials for a reason including the latest student loan order.
They see our generation as political enemies. We need to call out more that what they are doing in most orders is punishing their enemies, because this is an attempted dictatorship not a presidency.
