I used Google Earth extensively while researching my thread on hillside letters in the Bay Area. It was invaluable for searching the hills near local high schools for unreported hillside letters and numbers. And while searching those digital hills I kept on finding feral labyrinths, perched like ephemeral crowns, on their crests. Which was unexpected, and more than a little intriguing... #sfba 🧵

CHP is out in force along #Highway9 in Saratoga, after neighbors complained about reckless driving along that highway.

I should have driven Hwy 9 and Skyline more in years past. The route is now infested by reckless—and frankly unskilled—drivers. People are crossing double-yellows to pass, and cutting in through blind corners, and it scares the shit out of me. Alice’s has become unbearably crowded at lunchtime on weekends.

I think part of the reason for this are Instagram accounts that post videos that glorify risky behavior along the route.

Wow, I know this guy. Dan Carpenter was very active in the #sfba #cars community. Pretty shocking to learn that he’s charged with leading a group of people to scam insurance companies for commissions. I guess that’s how he afforded all those cars.

“I'm a cyclist in Davis and grew up in the East Bay. The
publication wants me to focus on the East Bay in my writing as other
parts of the Bay are better represented already among their other
writers. Would also like some info about biking and the environment
and about infrastructure.

“Is anyone here part of a cycling group in the East Bay, or do you know
of one, and could I interview you over the phone/email or in person if
you're in Davis? Would love to help promote and advocate for
bicycling!

Thank you,

(Edit: Just passing this along, not doing the article.) Looking for #cyclists in the #EastBay to help a reporter (Cristina) doing a cycling and climate resiliency article:

“Hi all, I'm a freelance journalist putting together a story on cycling
for climate resilience publication Knee Deep Times
(kneedeeptimes.org). They're a SF Bay Area online news site focused on
infrastructure, science, and policy that will help the SF Bay navigate
and weather climate change.

“I'm writing about cycling and ways to encourage it or make it easier
and safer through infrastructure. Have talked with a Bike East Bay
representative and got some useful info about the upcoming greenway
path from Fremont to Lake Merritt BART, but would love to hear more
perspectives, anecdotes, etc to fill my piece out into a story.
Something interesting, some kind of intriguing character who bikes or
story about someone's cycling adventures.”

These photos are from a hike I did a couple of days ago in Sierra Vista Open Space Reserve, in the mountains just northeast of San Jose, California. This time of year, near the end of the wet season, the hills are deep green; they'll change to golden brown by early to mid May. Now is the time to go if you're in the SF Bay Area. #hiking #photography #sfba
