A4. Riding as the sweep for both of the #eastbaykidicalmass rides this year has to be my group riding highlight. The next Kidical Mass will probably be at the City of Berkeley's Winter Festival on December 13.

I also have gone on a couple of #BikeEastBay group rides so far this year, and those were a lot of fun!

@TheWarOnCars I got to meet John at the recent #BikeEastBay BikeTopia 2023 event. He’s such an inspiration to all of us in the Bay Area.

#Oakland doesn't even pretend to enforce laws against delivery vehicles parking in bike lanes.
0 tickets were issued for bike lane violations to the big delivery companies from 2010-2022.
And only 33 were issues for other parking violations.

Another bike lane video from yesterday. There is 20 feet of legal curbside parking next to these two empty pickup trucks, but their owners left them parked in the bike lane anyway, because they know the City of #Oakland tolerates flagrant illegality like this. This part of 38th Ave almost always has several vehicles blocking the bike lane, and some drivers even use it for overnight parking, because they know they won't be ticketed, never mind towed. #BikeOAK #BikeOakland #BikeEastBay #BikeLanes #Cycling
Drivers are always innovating new ways of scaring cyclists. Yesterday, right after I had ridden around one empty car parked in the Telegraph bike lane, the driver parked in the bike lane 30 feet ahead of it suddenly put his car in reverse as I approached it from behind, only putting his foot on the brake AFTER his Prius started moving backwards. (He ended up making an illegal U-turn after I passed him, so I'm chalking this one up to sheer lack of driving skills, since he probably didn't mean to reverse at all.) #Oakland #BikeOAK #BikeOakland #BikeEastBay #BikeLanes #Cycling
