If you're having problems convincing the local government to install
bicycle infrastructure, perhaps virtual infrastructure in the form of
street art might be useful. Instead of temporary chalk, paint the 3D
drawing with something more permanent.
My problem is the opposite: Convincing local government _not_ to install
bicycle infrastructure.
Sorry. My mistake. I was splitting firewood with an axe all day. 30
min of splitting with 15 to 30 mins in between to recover. I really
shouldn't be posting when I'm that tired. Apparently, my chain of
thought was somewhat derailed and slipped a gear. I've been speed
reading RBT for about 2 weeks and ignoring articles that mentioned
guns, infrastructure and politics.
When I was a kid one if my assigned tasks was bucking up cordwood into
stove length and splitting if necessary'

Is pretty tedious, but splitting shouldn't be, if you go at it right.
smaller logs can be split with an axe although I don't recommend
holding the log with one hand and splitting it with an axe, too easy
to lose a thumb or some fingers.

My father concocted a sort of stand that you could lean the smaller
logs in to hold them nearly vertical and the you could stand off and
swing the axe with two hands.

Looking on the web I saw a scheme to set a tire on a short log(s) that
you dropped the log(s) you are splitting into which held the pretty
much vertical. Same idea but more modern (:-}
I had a pair of splitting wedges that worked better than the axe. My
firewood was mostly dead oak that I'd cut down from my own property.
