Doggles were invented in 1904 and are shown here being worn by Bud on the first cross country American road trip by car.

Honk if you agree

I’m interested in this because it’s bikes, but this is also just a really good ground-level view of the cascading impact of these tariffs. www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-new...

This week in my hubris, I’ve tasked myself with figuring out the answer to the question “how does image recognition actually work?” I’ve discovered this set of recorded lectures on computer vision from Shree Nayar at Cornell. Which has answered all the photography questions I’ve ever had.

Cars are about to get really expensive. May I recommend an ebike?

I went one of San Diego’s least walkable neighborhoods to test how long it takes to get from one side of the street to the other — when there’s no crosswalk. Check out this video to see the results! www.instagram.com/reel/DH9Qc3h...

Amtrak SanDiego->LA is getting extra service and a mid week discount this month! Use code #V567 when traveling M,T,Th.

Let's do it California.

Imagine being arrested on charges of “conspiracy to cause a public nuisance,”. Criminalization of peaceful protest. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/w...

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

Rivian is spinning off a new EV micromobility company, which is called “Also” “If I’m taking my family to Yosemite on the weekend, I want to use my Rivian R1S, but for my daily school runs, probably not. That’s not the most efficient or enjoyable way to do it.” heatmap.news/sparks/rivia...

This is good.

Just threatening to deport U.S. citizens

The streets around elementary schools are some of the most dangerous places to walk and bike.

Look like organized crime to me.

National City is a great place. It deserves honest representatives. It has had some really good ones.

Free parking isn’t protecting anyone Mr. Whitburn. CM Whitburn: “Fortunately, on Sundays, the meters are free so residents can park there. I will protect those residents.”

The oncoming left hook in this video of my friend getting hit is terrifying. I’m just glad it wasn’t something like a POS Swasti-truck

Looks like organized crime.

CalBike and our allies have campaigned for the restoration of Active Transportation Program funds, and that’s exactly what the letter signed by these legislators asks for. Read on here: open.substack.com/pub/calbike/...

It’s going to be a long four years of urban communities getting trolled and punked by a cruel regime.
