1000mi on an e-bike in OP KS

I hit 1,000mi on my e-bike this month! One of my trips ended at 1,000.0mi even:

Electric cars are kinda cool, but I don't think they fit into a sustainable future. Bikes, buses, and trains! As much as KC is steeped in car-culture, it was a breath of fresh air to see this on Issues — Amy Scrivner for City Council:

People should have the option to live in a neighborhood where it is safe, easy, and comfortable to walk, bike, or take the bus to get your groceries, prescriptions, go to church, or eat at your favorite restaurant.

And she won! She now has a seat on the OP City Council

I'm grateful our place is in biking distance to most of what I need in life. Here is the bike just back from the market. The ROCKBROS Bike Trunk Bag expands up to fit all kinds of stuff.

This whole bag of groceries fit in there.


p.s. did you know the Internet Archive has a policy to welcome image hosting?

I didn't see cc-by among the license options though. odd.


p.p.s. obsidian works pretty well for writing photo essay blog items. It doesn't put a blank line between the yaml and the copy, though; I had to fix that with a plain text editor.
