Saw these in #BloomfieldNJ yesterday. I'm wondering how effective they are....

@jrubal1462 Fantastic recommendations! Thanks so much for taking the time to share.
I'm really curious about the Old Forge White...
My travel/creative partner and I are used to a) being much younger; and b) doing bbq trips across the deep south and rural Texas 10-20 years ago. We're trying to figure out how to balance large amounts of cheese with physical activity and healthier food. Have never used yak-tracks but they're so inexpensive, so how could we go wrong?
One thing about living in the #HudsonValleyNY: snow will regularly interrupt your plans.
This is the only platform where I have heard regularly from people **in #Minneapolis**

I once caught a guy trying to steal my bike in Union Square. He was building a wall of cardboard boxes around it before trying to cut the lock. He was wheeling around a baby carriage with a toolkit inside. When I showed up, he just wheeled the carriage away.
People who steal whole bikes carry angle grinders. People who grab quick release parts commit crimes of opportunity. The goal is to create impediments to opportunity.
@ai6yr I moved my e-bike out of the city over two years ago and it still has hose clamps on the quick release levers!
@ai6yr you name it. I've seen people steal both wheels off a bike in broad daylight then casually walk away with them.
Love to see inexpensive bikes working hard. Just found this Magna Fix-d chained up in Manhattan. Looks like it still has its original tires -- shocking for #nyc.

Reboosting my #introduction! Since I joined Mastodon, I am playing #guitar more (recording an EP with my band in two weeks!!) and have moved to #KingstonNY.
Despite one deep freeze and a lot of snow, nearly all the grass in town is still green.
In times like these, we need more bridged Threads and Bluesky accounts posting screenshots of Xitter
I’m finally planning a trip to #NEPA (northeast #pennsylvania) that I started researching in 2020. It will be based around #pizza
Would love to know if anyone has advice re: where to stay, what to do at night (#livemusic preferred), where to #hike nearby etc).
I also collect #toytrucks and suspect that there are many in the area :)
thanks!

Don't forget the aging industrialist bros fighting the tech bros for relevance -- in particular, those in fossil fuels and transportation.
How much of what's going on is due to their egos being bruised?
Two days this week, a utility project was blocking a significant #bikenyc lane in #MidtownManhattan, without any temporary protected lane in place as required by law. The second day I saw this, I reported it.
Just received notice from #NYCDOT: "A notice of violation (NOV) was issued for not having diversions formulating a temporary bike pathway... as dictated in the permit stipulations for this construction”
I like this person's energy

A very nice driver just slowed down and waved for me to cross during her green light... Where I would instantly be run over by the SUV going the other direction.
