E-bikes are fun. Atlanta —> Stockholm.

View of the front of IKEA Atlanta with bike racks circled
View of the west corner of the intersection of Pryor and MLK, with bike parking circled
Diagram showing that the sight lines in front of a Silverado or F250 are worse than an Abrams tank.
View of the intersection of two 4-lane roads from one corner. There are construction cones atop a concrete curb island between a slip lane and the rest of the intersection.
View east along SR-10 towards downtown Avondale Estates. There’s a multi use path next to a newly paved 3-lane road. It looks like there’s some striping and landscaping left to do.
Figure titled “Alien Suffrage at the state level over the decades.” Shows six views of the US from 1700 to 1939. States allowing noncitizen voting peaked in the period labeled 1850-1899, with the majority of states allowing it, including GA.
The intersection of a driveway from a shopping center onto a 5-lane road. There’s a sidewalk along the road, but nothing to keep a truck from speeding across where a pedestrian would cross the driveway. A FedEx truck driver hit and killed a pedestrian there Saturday morning.
Plans for a semi-protected 2-way cycle track. An arrow indicates a dangerous conflict. In part of the plan, a right-turn lane begins by crossing the cycle track, 50m away from the intersection.
A small child in a blue jacket is standing next to a bicycle. The bicycle has a child seat on the rear rack and a kids trailer attached. There is a Christmas tree tightly wrapped in twine occupying (sticking through) the trailer and hanging out the back. The tree is at least 7 feet long.
A big tent with no walls
A multi use path runs alongside the 4-lane Atlanta Road. The path continues under a railroad bridge from where it used to end.
In the foreground, an adult and kid posing with their bikes. They’re wearing jackets, rain pants, and gloves. In the background, the four lane street is occupied with people on bikes and walking, and with event tents for performances.
A five lane road with a narrow sidewalk next to it
Westbound view from Avondale Town Green. A wide sidewalk runs alongside a 3-lane road, with a buffer of grass and dirt in between. Orange barrels suggest construction in progress.
A hard tail mountain bike outfitted with a rear rack with child seat, and a front rack with panniers. A man stands astride the top tube. There’s a child in the child seat and a child’s bicycle sticks out of a pannier.
Aerial view of an intersection where some protected bike lanes run along adjacent streets, but they are not protected through the intersection.
In the foreground, a laptop and bicycle helmet sit on a small table. In the background, looks like an office or coffee shop in an old industrial building, with some greenery. A large blue flag on the wall has the text S-O4W.
A hard-tail mountain bike standing on a double kickstand. There’s a child seat mounted on a rear rack, and large black panniers mounted on a front rack.
A picture of a short-tail cargo bike parked in front of a playground. There’s a child in a child seat on the back rack, and panniers mounted behind the child seat. The closer pannier has child’s bike hanging out of it - the front wheel is in the bag and the rear wheel is on the ground to drag behind the adult bike.
A bike rack with three electric bicycles and a scooter locked to it.
Aerial view of the intersection of E College Ave and E Trinity Pl, marked up with plans for a 2-way cycle track on College. A right turn lane from College to Trinity begins by crossing the cycle track at a low angle about 200ft from the intersection. One might imagine confusion between drivers traveling west and bicyclists traveling east. Who has the right of way and who will yield in this state-sponsored game of chicken?
An electric bike with a child seat on the rear and basket on the front, locked to a black metal bike rack. In the background is a wide expanse of sidewalk with a picnic table and a painted cinder block building.
A screenshot of a Bluesky modal titled “Report this post”. The option “Unacceptably Terrible Pun” is highlighted.
