“It’s about dreaming of a better place and the idea that that exists, or it can exist.” Public benches signify a commitment to public life.

The Disappearance of the Public Bench

Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

Cainmark Does Not Comply 🚲Feb 18

Bicycled 65K yesterday to Lanesboro.

Forgot I traded out my studded tires and crashed *up* a hill. I'm fine, bicycles fine. Just embarrassed. Up a hill hydroplaning over water I didn't catch over transparent ice. Studded tires I would have been able to correct, regular tires just slid.
