Alex on Emerald City - The DIY Bike Community
I wrote a piece for Emerald City Wednesday, which is much less fluffy than the other pieces. It’s a downright rant, so if you like that sort of thing then go read it. Here’s a quote:
The only reasonable way to interpret the city’s inaction is as a collective “Go **** Yourself” to cyclists. Punk rock til the end, cyclists irreverently flipped this, and interpreted it as “Do It Yourself!” And so a large segment of cyclists have found new and innovative ways to make progress without the cooperation of local government.
It’s a good rant, so go have a look at it if that interests you.
