BBQ Bike will be at East Bay Bike Party tomorrow!!
the dude even installed a sound system underneath the cooler!
riding to work northbound on telegraph ave., at 51th st I passed a girl with a gold lamé backpack and gold sparkly/shimmery helmet.
omg super safe cycle chic! with leggings and a blazer. I would have taken a picture but my phone’s in my backpack and not enough time at the red light to take it out and snap a pic, sorry.
GOLD IS THE NEW FLUORESCENT.
then few blocks later I nearly got doored AGAIN! I believe it was in the Berkeley portion where there is a north american style fail bike lane.
the door opened 3-4 inches wide, right in front of me. I instinctively yelled out EEAYAAAH!!! I think the person stopped opening the door when she finally saw me or heard me; don’t know.
If I yell out DOOR!! that means I have barely enough time to safely swerve around. If I yell out EEAYAAAAH!!! that means you REALLY could have hit me and thrown me into traffic and killed me.

Another great view of The Bay Lights during testing phases, shot by photographer Steven Davis.
after i went back outside i realized that where i drew “kickball” was only room enough for perhaps hopscotch or double dutch.
latham square plaza community design workshop, 23.02.13.

sunset into SF.
pilot project: Latham Square Plaza, community design workshop today.
where telegraph ave. and broadway split off in downtown oakland.
pretty good turnout*. lots of people walking and bicycling by got interested, gave input, were excited to turn this otherwise dead spot into something lively.
and awesome thanks to rebar for doing this in conjunction with the city of oakland. rebar will be building whatever comes out of this design process.
*mayor quan was also there for a bit. she took some pics on her iphone.
