On and on, sun more hidden than visible by now. Trying to tell the origin of early tourists by their choice of clothes, indecisive between the seasons. Also, still failing to see a pattern for predicting how crowded and annoying the morning streets will be. Avoiding main lanes, sneaking through backyards, trading speed for the comfort of not crossing paths of those who are always angry and always demand space.

(Der Wagen ist wieder aufgestanden und hält stumme Zwiesprache mit den Blüten des Stadtdickichts. Verkehrsbrandung ringsum, getrieben, rücksichtslos und schnell und wie so häufig geht man dem aus dem Weg, weil die eigene Stimmung noch nicht robust genug für diese Art von Kontakten ist. Baustellenkrach, der Duft von Erde, Schmieröl und gemahlenem Stein, genug Realität für einen solch kurzen Augenblick.)

“Would commuters be more likely to ride a #bike if they had the option to ride in a protected lane? New research led by a University of #NewMexico #UNM School of Engineering faculty member says yes.
"Cities that seek to boost #bicycle #commute mode shifts should focus on implementing low-stress #bicycle facilities if they want to best facilitate the sizable population of less-confident potential riders” https://phys.org/news/2025-06-bike-lanes-linked-bicycle-commuters.html

I seriously hurt some bro's ego yesterday on the way back from my spontaneous ride to Lexington. I had my commute bike (it's actually a gravel bike) with a backpack rack, my work backpack, and big heavy puncture proof tires. And I was in civilized clothes. Heavy and not aero at all.

Some bros on Mass Ave were riding aggressively and fast, I figured I would try to see if I could keep up with them. I had never followed them closely to draft behind them by keeping at least 3 feet away, sometimes dropping further behind. But after half a mile or a mile or so, the bro realized I was still keeping up (he looked back), and he decided to blow up on Mass Ave during rush hour between Alewife and Porter, and blew past a red light. He almost got hit by a car, it was nerve wrecking even to watch, and he got yelled at by his buddy. I realized he was doing very aggressive and dangerous things so I let them go.

Hilariously I caught them up at Mass Ave Bridge inbound 😂 he was struggling on the inbound ascend and I could hear him talking with his buddy about me being as surprisingly fast as them, and what the hell they were doing 😂 then they continued to ride aggressively, just to be stopped by cars all the time. And he took a long time to clip in. He took the traffic lane instead of bike lane, which was fine, but his buddy almost ran into the concrete barrier following him and had to unclip and slow down. Thank god they took the Southwest corridor at Mass Ave T station so I didn't have to witness some dumbass behaviors.

Maybe they're too young to realize their life is more important than their ego? 😂😂😂

Nebenan: Pendler, Züge, Baustellen. Am alten Büro vor den neuen Quartieren parken Fahrzeuge, die genau so wie die Fassaden und Fenster und Durchgänge Geschichten von Geld und Wertvorstellungen erzählen. Und manchmal weiß man nicht, wer in wem gefangen ist - die Erzählungen in den Menschen oder andersherum.

Young couple across the street is having breakfast on the windowsill but todays breakfast is mainly a mug of coffee and a cigarette. Three floors above street level, out of sight of the morning sun. (Catching up with these days' peculiar collection of undescribed, unfinished, unsorted objectives. The road the bike the changing moods in different early lights.)

#commute #coffee acquired.

With #wildfires raging across large areas of Western Canada (none really close to me, but a few not that far in the bigger picture- couple hours drive or less?) it was inevitable that the smoke would reach us sooner or later depending on wind patterns. Late last week we started to get a bit of haze peaking a couple of days over the #weekend with strong visible #smoke and smell.
