from

SituationalAssessmentTemplate2017

Introduction/Definition/etc

BikeToWorkDay 2019

and other stuff,

bike and not bike related,

likely, and tangential,

to say the least...

Body

Original Text

Well, went again,

some issues,

more issues than not,

the hate has risen again

exclusive, uppity and well,

some just too crowded,

surveys ArlingtonCountyFair2017

and

can't get to the booth/ table,

and no swag for you,

yeah,

we got rid of him type of snobbery?

Less competition for the raffle prizes,

i guess...

Modified Text

What's Missing?

Me, for most of it...

Payback for lots of extra miles?

not the usual use of the term payback,

but reward/ thanks/ appreciation,

normally, for some value of Normal,

one of the few days when people/

others are nice to you while biking,

as a regular commuter,

working or not,

doing errands, or sightseeing/

lookiloos, lollygagging, meandering, etc,

volunteer, writer, general pita,

or whatever,

told/ evangalized (sp?) to a few,

and they likely didn't bother,

while others were trying to,

and could not,

from what i could tell,

and making it easier,

likely excuses/ issues,

it's too far,

we are sore,

...

more traumatic:

some (naked?) kid

with a plumber's butt crack

on the bridge near the stream,

(

CrueltyInThePark2018 )

trying to cool off, day+? before,

and i was worried / concerned

besides naked kid(s),

soaking feet in cooler stream water,

i understand

(but not if blisters, nor open sores,

as risks of infection,

stream water, especially there,

it's not very clean,

aka the poor kid(s) beach?

but you probably have to

become Union (tm elsewhere)

to really display

a plumbers butt crack like that,

Union (tm elsewhere) card,

Union (tm elsewhere) dues,

Mob/Guido involved somehow,

racketeering charges,

strong arm tactics, etc

and everything...

What Can Be Found?

lots of old white guys

a few kids to keep it interesting/

obstacle avoidance techniques practice

+/- possible comedic relief...

some new signs were there

put someplace,

but Camera Free/ No Photo,

no Smoking areas would have been good,

chillin areas...

Feed/ give to the local homeless,

seen nearby, but some guilt in not sharing

some swag, food, etc goodies with them...

Maybe next year?

What Can Not Be Found?

didn't see Rosslyn giving out socks

(with signup/ lines / privacy problems,etc)

BikeArlington Bags / raffle/ etc

likely had to do the survey

and that line/ crowd was too long,

and annoying privacy stuff

like camera head mounted

on a guy (is that thing on?

those models have remotes),

(another was covered?)

tables going /went to a dead end,

couldn't/ didn't wrap around

to get out the back, and more bike

thru type arrangement(s)...

SmokeFree and non photog target areas...

How To Analyze?

Lenses

Noob

Welcoming community?

or the usual special interests,

and holier than thou bikers?

Kids

Well, we already had BikeToSchoolDay

and if we are regulars

instead of one time wonders,

then we might have to go to the Pit stops

of BTWD with mom/dad/GenericCareGiver

EnTrustedWithOurLives

and get grown up stuff too ;-/

Plus might be able to write up the diffs

for a school credit project, no?

eBikes

Some seen,

mostly high end,

and/or display ones,

not sure the rules

changed?

Trails?

and/or still pending

on W&OD, Custis?

GW ParkWay?

etc?

Cars

Just another day,

so many,

so little time...

Police/ LEOs

To enforce more?

Less?

Get to know them?

or stand aloof?

separate?

or have to ride to work

and as work that day?

See how the unmotored live?

And wonder if that changes the

er, sensitivity some?

Feel naked without a vest?

What about unarmed,

and in traffic,

just because there is a light/ stop,

and you without bumpers,

windshields, force of law,

nor anything?

OutSiders

Wonder, increasingly,

how it looks

(private party/event on public lands?

like RNC to DNC?)

to those who don't bike,

WheelChairs?

other disAbled?

More poor,

and not included, somehows...

Assumptions

More visibility?

More swag?

anything new?

rain cover(s) for seat(s?)

WMATA/Metro

restrictions lifted during rush hour,

but i don't ride enough

to know how that's working

and/or not?

too crowded?

like a wheelchair can't get on?

have to wait train after train?

passed by?

like a panhandler looking for change?

Time Limits

One day, includes evening pit stops,

but not really helpful to me,

early is better, for me,

rain probably happened by evening rush,

a TStorm forecast,

luckily for some, didn't rain all day,

and heavily, like some years...

TShirt colour: a light blue?

(ok, i have a stereotypical guy's

colour palette vocabulary...

really testosterone kills off all sorts of things...)

nice, wish i had gotten a second

and/or third...

But demoralized after aggressive photogs

in the shooting gallery (Rosslyn) and beyond...

Conclusion

Summary of experience or similar

Another year, and feeling more separate

from the usual stuff,

(some might consider bike mecca,

but some heathens (sp?)/etc might not)

community and not feeling part,

which may be the goal of some haters,

and should not be allowed, imnsho...

Very Aggressive/ hateful photogs

and others making it impossible

to participate fully,

and other issues,

likely described elsewhere

and previous years,

so a pattern of abuse,

by some, in power

and out...

Discussion

A place for feedback on the page presented

What makes community?

For you?

for others?

is it a cheap trick,

to be the in crowd,

by making others the out crowd?

how is that different than a click (sp?)?

What good is it

to take photos of those that don't

want to be photographed?

How is that the same as

the recent charges of people

photographing in bathrooms

and other peeping tom type stuff?

Is it only male who do that?

or are female even more aggressive?

What stops behavior(s) like that?

Has it been done to you?

What's the difference between

a traffic cam

and an aggressive photog/ paparazzi?

What invasions of privacy

have you suffered?

How did it feel?

What reparations have you gotten?

What difference does it seem

than haters?

and other types of shooters?

How many have been killed

from stuff like that?

Why?

Why Not?
