Hey all, it's call for questions time for the next BikeNite coming up this Friday:
---
Next #BikeNite is this Friday at 4pm Pacific standard time (UTC-8)!
This is our weekly call for questions. Reply with any you'd like me to add to the discussion on Friday. Please add the BikeNitePQ hashtag so it's easier to find a Proposed Question. There is room for more!
(BikeNite is a Q&A type discussion on the Fediverse.) #BikeTooter cc @bikenite
@ascentale @bikenite When you’re cycling, how and when do you alert others to your presence? Others can be people walking, other people cycling, or people driving motor vehicles. A bell? Your voice? A bulb horn? An air horn? Something else?
@uxmark @ascentale @bikenite oooh, that’s a good one!
I bet there will be followup questions as well: what do you do when the other person doesn’t respond?
or their response is not at all what you thought it would be?
(my fave is when I call out “passing on your left” and the person walking on the path MOVES to the left!)

To the turn of the Star Wars theme....
"Biiike laaaaane
You're in the biiiiike laaane
Don't walk in the biiiiike laaaane
Walk somewhere else!"
Very loud, very clear... They get the point
🤣

I can't pretend I invented it.

Entertaining but such a damning indictment of the road space assigned to cars vs pedestrians and bicycles.
@Pionir @grammasaurus @uxmark @ascentale @bikenite
You're not wrong.
