This is how I feel every time I put on my spandex!

This is a fantastic write-up!
My kids were older than hers when I got a cargo bike so I opted for a long tail instead. When there is two of them on there they sing and laugh the whole way, it so cute.

Cycling Close Pass Survey We're conducting this survey to better understand the experience of bike riders who are close-passed by vehicles while riding. We're interested to understand how often it happens, where it happens, an...

We're asking the #bikesky community to share your experience with riding and close passes to help inform our work.

We want to hear from riders of all types #BiketoWork #roadbike #biketour

#pleaseshare with other #cyclists who might be interested!

Our prototype device will easily mount under the seat of any bike.
You can extend the barrier one-handed when you need extra space, and then you can retract it back under the seat when you don't.

It's light weight, designed for all bikes, and all ages

We believe that everyone should have a safe, enjoyable riding experience. Unfortunately, most cities (at least in NA) have poor cycle infrastructure and people don't feel safe.

After getting close-passed one too many times we decided to build a device to address this.

Thanks for the suggestion!

☑️Casual riding, including on roads
☑️Commuting to work or school

Someone in the survey today told us we had not included a category in our "what type of riding do you do?" question - so we added it!

I love giving drivers a thumbs-down in this scenario. Somehow it's more satisfying than flipping them the bird

Hard agree on this! Again and again studies show that physical separation for modes of transport make it safer for *everyone*

A+ we're just getting started and every little bit helps!!

I'd love to see him get this thing up 88mph!

Here is a shot of one an internal component, fresh off the 3D printer. The tree-looking parts on the outside are support to ensure the lip prints properly without sagging. The support breaks away cleanly, and the printed part is strong letting us use it in functional testing. #bikesky #prototype

I also love that only one person cares about whether they look dorky! Y'all are my kind of people!

We've heard from the #bikesky community about what features you care about most in the close-pass prevention device we're working on:
✅ extension up to 1m
✅ easily retractable
✅ integrated light

Have you been close-passed while riding? What do you want to see?

Sometimes this is what the prototyping phase feels like!

Oooh! I'm glad (c: We'll keep posting here as the plans come together

33km each way! That's a beast of a commute
These are great lessons. My commute is 18km each way and I strongly agree with your "store heavy things at the office" lesson! I keep my laptop charger, change of clothes, etc. there along with a pile of snacks.

We're currently workshopping and prototyping a device to reduce close-passes by drivers for those of us on bikes.

If you're a #cyclist #urbanist #bikecommute #BikeToWork or frequent rider we'd love to hear from you!

This is awesome, way to go!

We're lucky that our city has a lot of good multi-use pathways and that we can bike safely for recreation. I'm taking the kids out for a ride today and who knows where we'll end up!

This is a yeet-machine on wheels for that kid! Yowza

I love my e-cargo bike, it's great for so many errands!
