I remember when Bauhaus opened in 1993. My roommate, Finley, was one of their first employees. I'd ride my crappy Schwinn there, helmetless and in tattered shorts. RIP, indeed...
What is (hopefully) right is someone commuting on their bike far away enough to neccecitate the spandex getup (sorry doug, cutoff shorts & a crappy schwinn dont cut it for 30-40 mile round trip daily commute. Maybe he wears that while just riding around the hill). Hopefully he does this every day rain or shine. More long distance bike commuters and fewer drivers would make Capitol Hill nicer.
To answer your first question, he's out in the middle of the road instead of in his own lane. But at least he isn't switching between the middle of the road and the sidewalk.
He's wearing earbuds so probably has no situational awareness, and he's in the big chain-ring which means he's either riding far too fast for an urban setting or he's riding a reasonably safe speed but mashing too big a gear while doing it.
A sad photo, a sad thing to witness. I mourn the loss of our old Capitol Hill - the one that began to vanish with the demolition of the infamous 500 block of Pine - with the Cha Cha, Bimbos, Man Ray and the Kincora Pub all bulldozed for hideous condos and yet another "crossfit" gym. Bullshit. Sad. Annoying. I feel powerless as I see such an incredible community diluted and made into yet another bland neighborhood of and for aspirational young worker bees to inhabit until they can afford to move to a house with a yard in Ballard.
@12 got the most obvious wrongness and @15 got the earbuds. We need a photo with higher resolution to see if the white handlebar tape is merited by white frame decals. Also sock height looks questionably low or, much worse, no socks.
thanks for sharing this nice interesting and helpful information.I like you post very much..It is really good post shared by you.please post more i am waiting your article..
But that's a pretty good art hit up there, NTG!
This hood has dropped, not the bomb
I also rode my bike a lot, and had a couple close calls too many bombing down Denny. After that I either took the bus or walked.
RIP Capitol Hill. You are missed.
