@xssfox that kind of road marking is functionally dangerous.

It is encouraging motor vehicles and cyclists to be dangerously close one to another. The council should be sued.

All driving safety training is predicated on the principle that you create space around your vehicle and that space creates safety.
Car drivers are trained to leave at least a car door space when passing a parked vehicle; bus is much more.
They should leave *at least* the same space for a cyclist.

If you can't fit even the smallest stencil in, it's not a bike lane

My backup and Winter bicycle is a Giant Sedona.

The founder of Giant bicycles died. I didn't know anything about him until I read this article. Seems like he really loved bicycles and how they can be positive forces for change.

Really wish "standardized components" applied to all cycle manufacturers. Especially e-bikes now.

For both the Minnesota and bike-riding contingents:

Today I saw someone bicycling in the snow, towing a trailer that contained a tree.

@doris asks:

Q6. Have you ever had a "Bike of Theseus": a bike where you've eventually replaced every part of it that it's completely different to the bike you've originally had?

Inspired by the Ship of Theseus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

(If you haven't, do you have anything that comes close?)
