Yesterday my neighbor had a crew come to trim his huge pine tree. When the wind kicked up two guys were swinging around like 30 or 40 feet in the air. They had to come down and call it a day. Last night the wind was so strong it destroyed the canopy he built for his '29 Ford and blew a bunch of branches over here.
There are 3 new brush fires south of here.

As I wrote above, however, replacements were fast and free.

Oh, indeed. That sounds like a place to avoid. I ride around on suburban arteries where I’ll get whipped into the ditch by a landscaping trailer before I breathe any Cov-2.

Interestingly, I addressed this on another part of BikeForums.

Gotta love those. In the summer, riding out towards the local lake we get wakeboarder trailers - so fun!

I was sitting in the cockpit the other day at Regan National, and I was facing some bridge that over looked the excluded area that we park at. I have never seen so many people on bikes in one place, and they were not riding as a group. 100 cyclist could have easily gone by in the 45 mins that I sat there.

Cañada Road is just about the ONE way to get from the Northern/Mid Peninsula to the Southern Peninsula where the best roads are. Other routes are TERRIBLE, with no bikelanes, a gazillion stop signs, and impatient drivers and THEN you get to do an unpleasantly long climb to get to the same place.
It's 8 miles with only 2 stop signs and no real cross streets, and not even any driveways for the first 6 miles. Flat to rolling, wide as hell with bike lanes you can ride two-up in. It runs through Water Department land, so there's a lake on one side and grassland/chaparral on the other. This pic is the view from the North end, taken just as I got back to the car after one of my last postwork rides before Daylight Savings Time ended.

Well, we have boats. But the routes I most often ride don't go near enough where they congregate for them to be a huge issue. Not as common as other kinds of trailers.

You're right. BUT the dates are also different. The one that doesn't spell out that cycling for exercise is exempt is dated 4:30 PM December 2, 2020. The one that I linked to, that specifically exempts outdoor exercise including cycling is dated 11:30 PM December 2, 2020. The later order is also 2 pages longer, so my assumption is that the later order clarifies and supercedes the earlier one.
If I had to guess, I'd guess somebody said, "Hey, what about this?" and the Mayor's office said, "Oops!"

In Tucson you can't stay out after 10pm.
Doubt that'll happen in PHX.
