Imagine starting a bike ride on the Towpath Trail and pedaling all the way to Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C. or even Atlanta.

A new frontier is opening for bike travel. A growing network of designated routes is being pieced together across the nation along low-traffic roads, trails and bike lanes by the same association that designates Interstate highway numbers. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) established the US Bicycle Route System in 1978. However, it’s only recently begun to take shape.

There’s more than 17,000 miles of U.S. Bicycle Routes across the country. Ohio boasts 1,523 miles, more than any state in the nation.

Berlin Freeper,
Wichita Falls, Texas, held its 40th Hotter-N-Hell 100 miler last Saturday. It was only 95F so finishing wasn’t the torture it has been some years. 8,000 participants. Fun times.

My kid is taking off on a bicycle tour next week down the Oregon coast. I did the same tour about his age. Good stuff.
He’s been training and gathering equipment all summer. Bought a Craigslist bike (1970’s Schwinn) and fixed it up since his usual road bike is too light for loaded touring.

Speaking of bicycles, I'm not even sure what to make of this new e-bike drive system from Schaeffler of Germany:

Radical new electric bike drive system requires no chains or belts, entirely ride-by-wire

Can this drive system for e-bikes even make for anything we define as a bicycle? 🤔🤷‍♂️🚴‍♂️

A bicycle library has opened in London to get more people pedalling
Located in an empty shop in Tower Hamlets, the library loans out bikes for free and provides advice for novice riders. Those behind the project hope it will break down barriers that prevent many people from cycling

Maybe the last day to swim at Müggelsee this year:

A duck bid me farewell shortly before I left: See you next summer!

9/7/21 saw a Ghost Bicycle Memorial in a surprising place at Teltow Canal where there is no vehicle traffic. Turns out a 52 year old crashed his ebike into a bench last Saturday at 3am. I think maybe he bought a new ebike, had a few drinks and then in the middle of the night wanted to test going fast without a lot of people around. Evidently he was not wearing a helmet. But I don't really know what happened. Stay safe people!

Good day because been a while since I seen something from my favorite street artist.
Bad day because there was a construction survey team taking measurements right at the street art wall.

9/9/21 thought I was done with Müggelsee for the year but today was 80F and sunny so I went for a swim and lunch. Then continued riding around the lake.

9/17/21 it's a great thing to ride through the woods after a night of light rain (no puddles) and enjoy the scents and low light.
