Had fun last night at Crux Brewery for the Bend Bikes event!

Today I learned: The American Automobile Association (AAA) offers bicycle roadside assistance to its members.

If your bike breaks down, AAA will transport you and your bike within at least five miles.

@piecemama I really like these two for information about the Dutch/Amsterdam developments.
Join @bikeloudpdx online [<del>next week</del> tomorrow!] on Thursday for our monthly Hack Night. I'll show you how we're using the city/county/state maps and data to analyze police reports of bike crashes, and you'll bring your prototype for automatically reporting broken glass and other hazards with gps-tagged video, or just come hang out and ask questions.

Is it time to panic?

From Discover Magazine --

"Record Ocean Heating Spike May Herald Acceleration of Global Warming"

From Common Dreams --

"Ocean Warming Study So Distressing, Some Scientists Didn't Even Want to Talk About It"
https://www.commondreams.org/news/ocean-warming-study

Even the scientists are shocked and afraid of what's happening. I doubt they will panic, but maybe it's time that our leaders did.

As Greta Thunberg has said --

"Adults keep saying, 'We owe it to the young people to give them hope.' But I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day, and then I want you to ACT."

Record Ocean Heating Spike May Herald Acceleration of Global Warming

As La Niña recedes in the rearview mirror and El Niño looms ahead, more warming records could soon be broken.

Discover Magazine

When you write hashtags that contain multiple words, make the first letter of each word a capital letter, for example #DogsOfMastodon. This will make the tag readable to blind people.

Blind people use the internet through screen reader apps, which read text out aloud. By putting a capital at the start of each word in a hashtag, you are telling the screen reader how to say the tag correctly.

In the non-techy world this is generally known as "CamelCase".

(Techy people may call it PascalCase)
