Looking forward to eating some good Chinese grub for the Moon Festival. Though, I'm probably going to pass on the little cakes and focus on yummy vegetables and such. Which is in truer spirit of a harvest festival anyway, I think.

Got to make a good chunk of Pasadena's latest meeting on bikes, basically a roll out of the map of routes the plan will include. Joe Linton sums it up best, over on Streetsblog, "Overall the draft looks good. It's not the velorucion, but completing these facilities is very doable and will be a solid step toward becoming a more bike-friendly city."
Michelle Selvan also provides notes: ..."Public Meeting #3". (I must have missed #2 at some point.) And her man Zane details the actual documents.
My highlight was getting the scoop on the stupidity of the bike lane on Corson (which is apparently replicated elsewheres in the city) that attempts to steer you up on to the sidewalk (I've only followed it's advice in jest). Rich Dilluvio, Pasadena's transportation guy, explains that that's CalTrans' work. He actually sends folks to fix the damage every now and then, and has recently had the signs taken down, or so I think I heard. As I recall, the one on Corson says/said, "Bikes yield to peds". Because as you merge onto the sidewalk, you gotta watch out for those pesky peds. Too bad there are no "Cars yield to bikes" signs planned in this update. :)

Got some cool shots a little while back from the front of my bus to Cal Poly Pomona. The windshield had obviously been washed very recently and afforded a really amazing, front-of-the-boat field of view.
It always feels good to be in the fastest, most efficient lane.
