I’ll address you second statement first. Most cyclists do stop at stop signs and stop lights. In fact, in the red state of Idaho, bicycles are not required to stop at signs and may treat them as yields. Is sounds like your complaint is really a case of sour grapes as this is an enforcement issue. Perhaps cyclists are taking their cues from drivers around here who routinely blow through stop signs.

On to the road issue! Given that paved roads predate cars cyclists have the upper hand. In the 1880’s the Good Roads Movement came to be. This group lobbied for paved roads for the use of bicycles and other wheeled conveyances because roads in the 1880s were, well, mud and gravel. Cars wouldn’t come on the scene for years yet. So, yes, paved roads roads exist for the use of bicycles in this country. Paved roads, however, predate bicycles by a few millenia.

Your antipathy for bicycles is clear but the lawful use of bicycles on roads, in WA and in other states, pretty much 49 others, on roads is permitted. Bicycles are allowed to use their space on the pavement as they see fit so as to provide for their safety. They are also permitted to ride 2 abreast in most circumstances. Bear in mind that cyclists riding assertively (running signs and lights not withstanding) is not illegal. It may be inconvenient for you, you may have to display patience for a moment or two, but consider the laser focus that a cyclist must maintain when riding on the road rather than an idyllic bike trail through a forest with bunnies and deer sipping cold clear water at the edge of a brook.

Yes, I’m one of those cyclists. I periodically run stop signs and red lights and I’d like to see signs be treated a yields as a matter of law (for bikes). I ride assertively and have no problem getting right in the middle of the lane if it’s providing for my safety.

See you on the road.

As a cyclist I’m entitled to ride wherever I feel is the safest. It may be the shoulder, perhaps the right edge of the lane and it may be right in the center of the lane. As an example, when I ride down Avalon every morning, on the way to work, I’m cruising at 30-35 mph I”m right in the center of the lane. it’s unarguably the safest place for me to be. When I ride around Alki I’m usually cruising around 17-20 mph. That’s too fast for the bike path so i’m in the road and not hugging the parking lane as I don’t want to get creamed by a car door I tend to ride a bit right of the center of the lane depending on the traffic and parking.

As a vehicle I have a right to my space on the pavement. I also have a right under state law to the 3′ passing clearance that the passing vehicle must provide.

Interrupted a theft/burglary at 5233 42 ave this morning at 0420.

Hear rustling behind the garage, though it was raccoons in the garbage. Went to run them off and a white, slim, male wearing a yellowish t shirt came around the corner of the garage towards me and grabbed one of my security lights. I told him to stop, he dropped it and ran. Second security light stolen recently. Lawn mower stolen last week. Graffiti rampant in the alley between California and 42nd ave sw. North of Brandon.

I contacted John L Scott for permission to paint over the graffiti but they said they didn’t own the building and would get back to me. Never did.

I am not a fan of Alki Automotive. I liked one of their mechanics when they were at their previous Alki Beach location, which is now Blue Moon Burgers. But that mechanic left Alki Automotive years ago and went to West Seattle Autoworks.
I found Alki Automotive to be too costly, rude, and the problem I paid them to fix resurfaced a few months later. Ended up fixing it myself with the help of YouTube.

I can help too! 1 Strong Woman + 1 Strong Woman = A Whole Lotta HELP <3

[Lisa]

@advntrplz I’d be happy to meet with you and of course, any/everyone else in this conversation to discuss and perhaps plan… a project to help someone… It may or may not be Mary Theresa but it would be ‘someone’ :) I don’t know if she wants/would accept this type of structure… But I Do Know… she likes to have AA Batteries for her little portable music player, Hot Chocolate and Cola… (I try to remind her to drink more water and less sugar;) )… when she’s not feeling well sometimes I get her Tylenol or Ricola Cough Drops… Yarn BUT… you have to know ‘what type’ ;) for the project she’s working on :)

Just talk to her… all of you! You don’t need to be offering ‘help’ … just acknowledging her and engaging with her… You know… I think that’s really what all of us want/need… whether we realize it or not <3

I’ve got some sturdy boxes at work that I have put off breaking down as there is often other pressing stuff to do. They are about 2’x2’x15″ high, more shipping box than moving box but they are yours for the asking. I have 5 of them, let me know and I can bring a couple home each day.

I have no experience with or thoughts regarding Alki Automotive, however will second herongrrl’s endorsement of Courtesy Tire.

Over the years they have done almost as much ‘free’ work on my tires (checking air-pressure after cold spells or before road trips) as they have replacing the tires and battery on my car.

The long-term staff are a great group of guys who are eager to answer any questions and help in any way they can!!!

I wanted to like Alki Automotive because they were really convenient. Unfortunately I found them to be expensive and condescending.

I love Courtesy Tire on California. They do great work for reasonable rates, and are honest about what they can and can’t do. We had a bad transmission once and they told us they could do it, but because they weren’t a transmission shop they recommended a transmission specific shop who did it for more than $1K less than Courtesy estimated it would cost them.

Yes, there is work going on. Some weeks back, we briefly saw the owner, while we were parking nearby on our way to cover something, asked him how it’s going, “It’s going!” he replied cheerily. We were there again more recently (last week, I think) and saw work crews at the site. This is more a labor of love than some big construction project. But we are overdue for an update, and while Clay Eals had been chronicling it as part of his work as SWSHS executive director, now that he’s left that role I don’t know if he’ll continue updating it for them … Tracy

[Tony S]

It’s been over a year since I last saw an update on the progress. Has it ground to a halt, or is there actually work going on?

Is there a limit to the distance a car can travel in a non-protected bike lane (not sharrow) before making that right turn, assuming they have yielded to cyclists first? I can’t find anything.

I know there is a limit to distance traveled the center turn lane (aka two-way left turn lane), which is 300 ft. according to RCW, so I thought there would be a distance limit here too.

[valvashon]

I have 5 boxes of the size 2’x2’x15″ high (approx on all dimensions). They are more shipping than moving boxes but if they work for you let me know and I’ll bring them home from work.

The 10-minute thing is just an average too. I waited 18 minutes between two C buses this morning at your exact spot. And of course it was full. Then the next one came one minute later. Stupid.

As for crowdedness. You should have seen it 3-4 years ago. Oh the glory days.

I have my motorcycle insurance through Safeco. Have never had to file a claim (knock on wood), but everything else has been smooth. And their motorcycle rates were about half the price of Geico for the exact same policy.

Hey right turners, please familiarize yourselves with the rules of the road. You are allowed to drive in a bike lane to make a right turn. In fact, you are REQUIRED to do it, as it is illegal to turn across another lane of traffic going the same direction. You are putting cyclists at risk by crossing over their path, and you are holding up traffic that would like to make it through the green light. A turn signal would be great, too.
