Thanks to @formlabs for inviting me to speak about bike laws/safety, that was fun. Any other cool companies want me to come give a talk for their commuter employees? Hit me up, let’s make this a thing.

in case you thought I was exaggerating, here's a pic of how they mutilated that poor bike

Locking up - Photo credit I’m often asked about bike parking—specifically, where it’s allowed and not allowed. There isn’t much specific legislation about locking up bikes, but there are still a couple of areas where it’s definitely NOT a good... tmblr.co/ZZ3IdwZxLNLiWa…

@NYCrunner238 @MaldenPolice that sucks, I'm really sorry to hear that. I think there's a facebook group where people post pictures of stolen bikes? I've heard of some success stories from that.

@BikeSafeBoston My bike was stolen in Malden from my flat on 23/01/2021. Sent video to @MaldenPolice, haven't heard anything yet. I didn't know what else to do except alert them. I've been on the lookout for the thieves to take photos & maybe confront them. I have zip so far.

@gruber Thanks! How often do you have to replace the batteries?

@BikeSafeBoston I’m not sure what the model names are off the top of my head but they’re from Lutron, battery operated. Work great with scenes in both Home and Alexa.

@gruber hey John, what kind of smart shades do you have? I remember hearing you talk about how great they are a while ago, and I was thinking of getting some. Are they still great?

Know Your Bike Laws - I was planning to give a talk at a bike shop, but then the pandemic happened, so we did it online.  It was fun.  I think we’re gonna do it again in June, so stay tuned. tmblr.co/ZZ3IdwYJM68j0u…

@Harvard4Bernie I can't seem to find a working link to the video of the event, has it been taken down?

.@Hertz wouldn’t let my fiancé rent the car that she reserved because her credit card number didn’t match the one she booked with (she was a victim of fraud and had to change it). Seems like a very stupid reason. @priceline won’t help either. Honestly, wtf?
