MyWHaT

Trailer for Awesome Land’s Women of Dirt

Not exactly the focus of MyWHaT, but mountain bike trails are just as good use of public space as anything. And, as these ladies show, it’s about building confidence and having fun doing it. Plus, it’s good to dream of summer.

Who is bringing films to Traverse City for Third Coast Bicycle Festival this August? This is a request…thank you.

Taiwan’s streets are dominated by cars and scooters. Yet, 小綠人 (xiaoluren) or the Little Green-man is everywhere to assist the walker across the road–set here to a little Colombian chill. Watch close as the animation picks up speed as time approaches.

What most ped crosswalk signals also have is an accompanying audio version for those with poor eyesight that also speeds up as time counts down–click…..click…..click…..click.click.click.

And, in Taiwan, when it says get across the road, you better bust a move…they aren’t known for their good driving skills.

Where was the last countdown signal you saw?

Anyone else want to see the Little Green-man in Northern Michigan?

NOTE: This is the first entry in the Memory Lane series that will spotlight examples from past experiences and travels. If you have yours and want to share, send me an email.
