The 'Atlanta Magnet Man' is saving our car tires, one bike ride at a time
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoJust yesterday I used picking up screws as an example of how kindness is an underrated exercise in efficiency. A minuscule effort up front avoids disproportionately larger effort later.

- bastawhiz 3y agoHe's saving up all those screws and blades and other shards of metal...who knows what he'll do with them! Probably put them in Halloween candy or sprinkle them on playgrounds! Better keep a close watch on him for sure

- itronitron 3y agoI imagine you could pull a child carrier behind your bike and your passenger could maneuver the vacuum nozzle while trailing behind you.

- duxup 3y agoWhen my kids were younger I used to bring things to clean up / fix local playgrounds that I was at every day. Later I saw another parent doing the same. As much as I or someone might feel I "shouldn't" have to, it's pretty efficient to just have someone do the job right then and there.
- micromacrofoot 3y agoIf everyone pitched in just a tiny bit, picking up a single piece of "someone else's" trash... we'd live in a significantly nicer world. There's a very stubborn "I didn't do it, not my problem" mindset in the US specifically.
- duxup 3y agoYeah the "someone else should do it" kinda thing is a weird self re-enforcing kinda thing too. Seems to just stoke anger and inaction. Like I show up at a playground at say 8 am, maybe the trash left there was from 8 hours ago ... now someone gets upset that the city didn't do a thing that is probably a rebellious expectation (can't patrol all the parks overnight every 8 hours) and they shove their hands in their pockets and pout. I'd rather folks just pick some stuff up and toss it in the bin nearby and we're all good.
- easyas124 3y agoI'd rather the litterbugs just not litter in the first place. (Sure, accidents happen, but I've seen ten times more outright antisocial trash dumping than forgetting a candy wrapper by mistake.) People get upset because it is entirely possible to live in a world where you don't have to clean up after people who don't take responsibility for themselves, and I think a lot of people are tired of it.
- duxup 3y agoI've never really found "those people shouldn't do that" does much to change things or make the world a better place.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoWhen I lived in Atlanta, there was a large line item on my annual property tax for street sweeping, which didn't seem to make much of a difference at keeping the roads clear of debris. There were many streets near me that obviously had not been swept in years, and while I did see them come up my street a few times, given the traffic volume, it has hardly frequent enough. They also didn't seem to have any kind of communication process between the police, who respond to traffic accidents, and the street sweepers, who never came by after an accident spread debris all over the road. Sometimes the police would have a stiff push broom in their trunk to do a quick sweep of the large stuff into the gutter but for the most part accident sites would remain a hazard until it had rained enough to carry the debris down to the storm drains to be clogged up by it. People complain all the time about underfunded cities but if every property in the city was getting charged as much as I was per year, the street sweeping service should have been worldclass. It's things like this that make people distrust city government and not inclined to give them more money for little return.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoAtlanta, in addition to the traffic, is also known for their corruption.
- easyas124 3y agoEvery single American city has this to one degree or another, even if it's just "hey, my brother owns a landscaping business and can mow city hall...". But a Byzantine government structure and a "fuck you, got mine" attitude baked into the national ethos will do that.
- datadrivenangel 3y agoOh yeah. Atlanta is not unique in that regard. Great city.
- ethbr1 3y agoIs it? The Kasim Reed years produced a few federal prosecutions [e.g. 0], but generally it's been pretty quiet? And it's not like the US Attorney isn't looking. So either Atlanta politicians are better at hiding their crimes, or they aren't committing them at the average rate [1]. Subjectively, I'd say that Atlanta has a fair amount of low-level corruption (see the Park amounts), but generally avoids the major-level corruption that other cities get caught in.

- Cthulhu_ 3y agoThis makes me complain to the local county and tell them they should allocate more of my tax money to maintaining public spaces.
- xyst 3y agoSounds great until your vac get clogged with used hypodermic needles. Good luck cleaning that without getting pricked
- doublerabbit 3y agoAlready exist, I looked at one to pick up cig butts when I go on my nightly litter picker walks. Sadly they're unpractical and only last around 30mins ~
- ornornor 3y agoThey’ve already been invented and you could probably buy one to make your dream come true! See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motocrotte https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motocrotte
- duxup 3y agoI really like stories of individual folks out there making the world a better place. A motivated individual with some level of exposure to the problem / solution often seems so much more efficient than other solutions. There's a local group that helps folks find stolen bikes: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/your-bike-just-got-stolen-these-vigilantes-will-get-it-back-af45a9d0?st=36dqme79yig8m3z&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink https://www.wsj.com/us-news/your-bike-just-got-stolen-these-...
- mtmail 3y agoOnline I saw a guy with a power washer cleaning hate-speech graffiti for free (e.g. swastikas in the US). I don't think he does it for fame or clicks but even if it's a net positive.
- chrisBob 3y agoI don't understand the "even if" comment. This is the one benefit of these social platforms. If the attention really motivates people to do something good, then have at it!
- neocritter 3y agoOne of my favorite YouTube channels uses the fame and funding to take on dog grooming jobs no one else is able to, or is able to devote enough time and detail to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OkGk2YRSnw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OkGk2YRSnw There's also an explosion of channels where professional landscapers and pressure washers do the occasional free job on a house in desperate need while recording it for YouTube. It's great background TV and likely more effective than any kind of paid advertising.
- onemoresoop 3y agoBe careful with the attention seeking as an incentive. People could stage all kind of things just to get the attention they crave or monetize.
- 3y ago
- bluGill 3y agoI normally figure scrap iron goes for about $.35/lb. So he has collected about $150 worth of scrap so far. Not a bad pay off for getting your daily exercise. Too bad magnets cannot collect aluminum or copper - both are more valuable. He donated his collection to a scrap artist (probably a worthy cause though that depends on your subjective opinion on the art produced), so he doesn't get the money, but it is still fun to figure out the value of his work.
- RandomBacon 3y ago> the value of his work That he could cash out on. The greater value is all the time in people's lives that would have been wasted from damaged tires: fixing or replacing the tire, time spent to earn money to fix or replace the tire, the time people would have spent in traffic trying to get around the disabled vehicles, etc.
- no_wizard 3y agoThe value is helping the community, first and foremost, isn't it? The computed dollar value is pale by comparison. We should talk more about this community value IMO
- bluGill 3y agoThere is more than one value. I talked about two of them, but that doesn't mean those are the only two. That just means that are the only two that I feel like I can contribute anything to the discussion of in one topic. Technically I probably should have written two posts so that discussion of the art created and the scrap value of his collection can be talked about separately.
- zerohm 3y agoHis IG is a pretty interesting follow (@atlantamagnetman) as he has briefly explained the various iterations and improvements to his magnet cart.
- btbuildem 3y agoNot to sound like an armchair road-debris-cleaner but.. Wouldn't it be much better to have the magnet contraption in the front of the bike, so you can bravely delve into the most metal-shard-infested areas without fear of puncturing your own tires?
- PM_me_your_math 3y agoPushing a trailer doesn't really work. You'd need an apparatus big enough to hold magnets and FOD, and allow you to steer unobstructed. A purpose built vehicle with a cab-over design would be easier to control.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoDutch cargo bikes / bakfietsen want a word. That said, those are a lot higher off the ground; the video shows the sweepers are only an inch or so over the ground. If something catches, it's more likely to just make the cart buck instead of sending the driver. Source: am Dutch, rode into a rock once, that was pretty bad.
- loeg 3y agoA dutch cargo bike still has the front wheel in front of the load, too -- vulnerable to any sharp objects that the magnets haven't picked up yet.
- dylan604 3y agoBreaking down the word "trailer" pretty implies that it will be something behind. Attempting to use the word trailer for something that is in front just seems like an extreme abuse of the word
- _iv 3y agoThe design is mostly limited by what can be built on a budget from off-the-shelf components. Additionally, the magnets plus accumulated scrap metal look pretty heavy- anything far enough in front of the wheel base would change the center of mass in a poor direction.
- stuaxo 3y ago"..Atlanta does quarterly street sweeping.." this stood out. Is that the normal amount. In the UK I see sweepers around, I guess maybe it takes that long to get around or do we just sweep more in other countries ? EDIT: I looked up my area in London https://www.southwark.gov.uk/street-care/litter-on-streets-and-estates https://www.southwark.gov.uk/street-care/litter-on-streets-a... Most residential roads in the borough receive a litter- picking service every other day and are manually swept once every 5 weeks. Busy areas, such as retail areas, have a daily presence to make sure they're kept clean and litter free. I know US infrastructure is worse, but this is to quite a ridiculous level - the amount of damage everyone is paying for, for their cars is insane.
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- aquaticsunset 3y agoNYC street sweeping is once or twice a week, for the most part. My (my much smaller, car dependent city) is annually.
- duxup 3y ago> US infrastructure The state of infrastructure greatly depends on where you are in the US.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoThe City of Atlanta, like many (most?) urban governments, can't do simple tasks at a reasonable cost. It spent $27 million on a pedestrian bridge over a surface road and during the primary justification for it, the Super Bowl, wasn't even used. https://atlanta.curbed.com/2019/1/29/18201457/super-bowl-liii-downtown-pedestrian-bridge-streetcar https://atlanta.curbed.com/2019/1/29/18201457/super-bowl-lii... Around the same time, a nearby suburban county only spent $10 million for a pedestrian and road bridge over a heavily used Interstate highway to get fans from parking areas to their stadium.
- bombcar 3y agoAccording to that article, it was used exactly for what it was intended for - to allow the privileged to stay away from the horrible urban masses.
- goda90 3y agoWhy doesn't the city run street sweepers on these roads?
- TrueGeek 3y agoThe article mentions that Atlanta runs sweeps quarterly. This is only inside the city though. I live outside the city (25 to 90 minutes depending on traffic) and we don't get any sweeping. The intersection outside our neighborhood gets about an accident a week and it's just constantly filled with glass and, occasionally, bumpers. The tow truck drivers are normally kind enough to sweep it to the side but that isn't great for cyclists. Everyone drives SUVs here and their tires are big enough that glass doesn't matter so no one is going to agree to pay for sweepers.
- Cthulhu_ 3y agoAnd that's just off to the side, it'll accumulate and / or spread from there. When I visited the US and its highways, I was surprised to see how much things like exploded truck tires were littering the sides of the road.
- sokoloff 3y agoDrive in the south in the summertime and the "road gators" (truck tire remnants) are often in the middle of travel lanes.
- yborg 3y agoDoesn't solve the problem, just pushes the stuff into the curbs where it then is a concentrated threat to bike tires. What they should do is mount a big electromagnet on the back of the sweeper to then pick any metal up.
- goda90 3y agoThe sweepers I'm familiar with sweep the debris under the machine and then into a holding space. Does that not work with this kind of debris?
- gadders 3y agoWhat a good dude.
- xnx 3y agoMore heavily engineered version of a similar idea: https://bikelanesweeper.com/ https://bikelanesweeper.com/
- xyst 3y ago[flagged]
- dimitrios1 3y agoWell government (supposedly) exists to serve the people, why have an issue when the people decide to serve themselves? We should be encouraging it, while finding a solution that is sustainable. Imagine if the city identified this as an issue today. It would take minimum of months to potentially years to start implement a solution. We had an issue of too much rapid development in our town and dump trucks were littering the streets with gravel debris, making the roads unsafe (it's difficult to stop on a dime if you slide on gravel, as I unfortunately found out recently). We had a local Lions den club decide to take action and start sweeping up the gravel.
- xyst 3y agoSo not only do people pay taxes for city services but now we rely on free labor to pick up the slack when those paid services can’t cover every area? I encourage people to do what they feel is right to clean up the environment around them. But to EXPECT people to go out of their way to cleanup the streets and make them “safe” is not sustainable. Probably poses a significant road hazard as well. I wouldn’t trust 3/4 drivers on these streets to obey posted signs/yield at crosswalks , let alone react appropriately to objects or people in street. A solution that is sustainable is not relying on cars as a primary mode of transportation. Heavy vehicles (almost everyone has a SUV or truck) cause significant road wear and contribute a significant amount to local environment pollution via tire wear particles and brake dust. Cities need to be redesigned to support multiple modes of transportation. Get rid of the parking lots. Get rid of the massive highways running straight through cores of cities. Get rid of mandatory parking requirements. Stop subsidizing suburban living where few people live. This benefits a very small amount of people while straining the local resources (expansion of fire, police, EMS, water, electrical services at heavy expense and decrease in quality of service)
- dimitrios1 3y agoA very, very small portion of your taxes go directly to city services.
- foolinaround 3y agoKudos to the Magnet man!! if that magnet cart design could be open-sourced, then it might be updated or made cheaper by others, and used in other places too!
- einpoklum 3y agoMost important point in that story AFAIAC: > Atlanta’s transportation department budget was cut by 12% last year. ... about $50 million is three times less than peer cities. sad.
- Jun8 3y agoOh man, this really strikes home for me: Last month we had to shell out close to $1k to replace all four tires when a large (>10cm) nail punctured one. Costco guy said you had to change all of them, I didn't't believe him but after research found out that if you have some mileage on your tires, you can't just change one (actually there was mentioned of reducing the grooves of the new tire to match the old ones but that sounded error prone). We need a magnet man for all big cities!
- kurthr 3y agoUnless you have a lot of wear on your tires, or you're driving an AWD, it's unusual to need to replace more than 2 tires. The argument on AWD is that it might cause more expensive increased wear on the AWD system in off-road conditions. If you're only driving on roads this probably isn't such a big deal, and some sports cars don't even have the same size tires front/back. Most nails and screws (1/8" or 3mm) in the middle of the tire can be patched (if you're not driving >100mph), but that was one BIG nail! Side walls really can't be safely patched, and most places won't patch anything even close.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoI heard a loud clicking noise while driving to work one day and pulled over to check. Had an "eggbeater-type" mixer sticking out of my tire sidewall. Shop asked if they could have it for their countertop display of weird stuff they pulled out of tires. Anyway, they recommended replacing both front tires, but I only did the one and it was fine. I understand the reasoning, I just don't agree with it because tires simply don't wear at the same rate.
- whaleofatw2022 3y agoAbove is semi dependent on the AWD system. If it is one of the 'typical' ones you see on something like a Ford Escape or Chevy Blazer where it activates on slippage, you are probably OK on normal roads as long as the wear isn't extreme. But if it's something with a 50/50 default split or other 'always on' fanciness, tires are cheaper than Diffs.
- 3y ago
- rrauenza 3y agoWhenever I see a screw or nail in the street or parking lot, I always pick it up and naively hope that karma will prevent my tire from picking up one in another location.
- bluGill 3y agoI figure it costs $10 to repair a tire. So I saved someone $10 every time I do this. Sometimes that someone is me.
- Symbiote 3y agoI pick up empty bottles and put them in the nearest glass bin. There are glass bins on both corners approaching my apartment, so I don't even need to walk out of my way to do this. Most of them would probably stay for a few days until someone cleans the street, but it only takes one unhappy drunk to knock a bottle into the street. I probably look like a terminal alcoholic to my neighbours.
- limaoscarjuliet 3y agoHe is saving our bike tires rather, as he seems to ride the shoulder more than the car lanes (and rightly so). I live in Atlanta, ride both car and bicycle and do not have flat tire more often than average. Perhaps thanks to his help!
- bombcar 3y agoMost roadside debris is on the shoulder as it gets knocked there pretty quickly out of traffic lanes - and it can still affect the cars if you have to cross them. Every time I've had a flat caused by a road item it has been on or very near the shoulder.
- AtlasBarfed 3y agoI wonder if he picks up any interesting coins. Too bad silver/gold isn't probably magnetic enough.
- lostlogin 3y agoA nice bike tyre makes such a difference to bike speed, but puncture resistant models seems generally slower. I love my Continental Grand Prix 5000s but they aren’t cheap and are easy to puncture.
- bjornlouser 3y ago"Nearly every day, Benigno bikes about 10 miles and picks up around six pounds of debris — about the max the magnets can carry. Over the course of eight weeks, he collected over 410 pounds of metal..."
- ajb 3y agoYeah that stood out to me too. What the heck is dropping all this stuff? Round here if you put any sizeable metal (like a radiator or something) out front of your house someone will collect it to take for scrap. So if there were that amount of metal on the roads they would be keen to attach magnets to their vans. Although if it needs a large number of high quality magnets to do the job, it might not be economic for them.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoI've watched trash just blow off of trash trucks, bounce out of trailers. You'd think there would be better enforcement of having to have a tarp, etc. for open trailers that are carrying junk.
- newsclues 3y agoI would love for local bike shops to build these and let people use them.
- StarlaAtNight 3y agoAny tech folks here want to help people that do this collect data on how much they get and where from? Zero clue how useful that would be, but it would certainly be interesting
- verisimi 3y agoHis name is 'Beningo' - meaning "benevolent , kind" from https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/spanish-english/benigno https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/spanish-english/... also benign.
- ASalazarMX 3y agoBenigno is a common name, and also has the same meaning, in Spanish. What a perfect aptonym.
- staplung 3y agoMaybe it's nominative determinism. ;-)
- mschuster91 3y ago> Nearly every day, Benigno bikes about 10 miles and picks up around six pounds of debris — about the max the magnets can carry. As an European, this left me a bit shocked. Where is that debris even coming from? Shoddily "maintained" vehicles? Insecure loads? And why are there no sweeper trucks sweeping the streets and bike lanes?
- secstate 3y agoThe last line in the article jumped out at me: “A lot of folks … they’re kind of DIY-ing it until we can get the level of public service that we really need.” I am through "A Paradise Built in Hell" right now, and that, combined with having spent 6 years in a (small) town leadership position makes me appreciate the unfortunate consequences of thought like that last line. It feels like leaning hard into capitalist democracy rather than socialist democracy. The idea that things don't get done unless someone gets off their butt, puts a line item in the budget and makes sure someone is getting paid to do it not because they want to but because their compensation is adequate is destined to fail in really unfortunate ways. Part of the book referenced above is all about the failure of the "organized" parts of government in times of crisis. It turns out, most people in community want things to be better, but learning that the "city" or "county" will do it for you if you just pay your taxes kind of neuters the impulse to be a part of your community. Instead of cleaning up the road side, people end up with book clubs or art committees, because someone's getting paid $12/hr to clean up the road for you. It's not a great look, and has disastrous consequences when things go really bad.
- jollyllama 3y agoYes and what's going on there is that the official is uncomfortable because the failure of government is being exposed by guys like Magnet Man. They're so petty and feckless that they can't cooperate with him, or deputize him in some way.
- secstate 3y agoHaving been a public official your adjectives for the public official in this case made my hackles go up for a moment, but you're also absolutely right. The hidden assumption in those sorts of statements is that it's all good for volunteers to try to help, but one day "authorized" people will be able to do that work, but only if we are allowed to raise your taxes. Sigh. The problem is, not all bureaucrats are evil, but all bureaucracy begins at neutral and tends towards evil, so there's a sad inevitability involved. And my hackles went up because even I, who consider myself pretty self-aware, ended up in some horrible conversations where I know I preferred the town having authority over something volunteers had historically done. We are all part-nazi, some of us just have more authority.
- beavis000 3y agoThe author David Sedaris is apparently a compulsive trash picker-upper. He's said he has walked for up to 9 hours per days picking up garbage on the side of the road all the while. His town in the UK named a garbage truck after him, and he was invited to meet the Queen of England because of it (she used to meet with people who performed large amounts of community service).
- rockostrich 3y agoHis stories about some of the things he encountered on these walks are pretty funny. Can't wait for the next installment of his memoirs.
- knodi123 3y agoYeah, considering how much inspiration he got from it, I bet he could legitimately deduct the costs from his taxes!
- JKCalhoun 3y agoLoved the video. I was getting some Katamari Damacy vibes from all those bolts and such glomming onto his magnets.
- notatoad 3y ago>And while Atlanta does quarterly street sweeping i don't really know what a normal street sweeping schedule is, but this seems kinda infrequent? i know my town does a big sweep in the spring after the snow melts, but it seems like most of the major routes and all of downtown is on more like a weekly to monthly basis.

- dredmorbius 3y agoThe story discusses, and dismisses, the option of incorporating magnetic sweeping into regular street-sweeping operations, though I find the argument unconvincing. If your goal is to pick up loose ferrous material (much of which incidentally turns out to be dust, some of which is apparently meteoric in origin), you don't need magnets which are capable of yoinking a manhole cover or sewer grating out of the ground. An array of magnets, periodically wiped into the normal trash flow, should do the trick. (This is a case where electromagnets rather than fixed magnets are probably superior.) A fancy-pants solution might use GPS and GIS to note locations of known ferrous infrastructure (grates and the like), though it seems to me that simply by tuning the magnet's strength and reach it should be possible to, say, lift a few grams of nails or tacks, whilst leaving the 100kg+ covers and grates in place. (There are a few smaller utility openings, though I suspect those are rare, as street furniture generally needs to Not Move whilst being trampled by autos, lorries, busses, etc.) This is of course aside from Atlanta's apparently quite stingy sweeping schedule, another matter.
- aaron695 3y ago[dead]
- ornornor 3y agoI wonder if the problem is that it would lift grates up or rather pull the trailer down/crushing the wheels or just immobilizing the bike from the attraction to the grates while not being able to lift them up.
- dredmorbius 3y agoMagnets incorporated into a traditional street-sweeping truck shouldn't be bothered by street fixtures, unlike a on a bicycle. I can see how the bicycle approach might experience challenges, but even there I think the problem isn't particularly severe. Switchable electromagnets which could automatically sense a large ferrous object (e.g., grates, covers) and deactivate or reduce strength over them might be another option. A filtered reply to my earlier comment argues that electromagnets are "massive with generators". This ... is seriously misguided. Electromagnets can be tiny, you'll find them in small motors (electric toothbrush, the haptic vibrator in your mobile device). Given extant electric capabilities of a streetsweeper, a modest grid/array of magnets would be trivial to implement.
- lostlogin 3y ago> Atlanta’s transportation department budget was cut by 12% last year. She said that about $50 million is three times less than peer cities. Can’t they say ‘it’s one third the budget of comparable cities’? Is that what ‘three times less’ means?
- ornornor 3y ago> For now, it’s up to individuals to keep the streets clean. Nice.
- OliverJones 3y agoThis is great. I wish it worked with glass :-) :-) I sometimes sweep up broken glass from bike lanes in my community. I need gloves, a broom, a dustpan, and a trash bag. Not as efficient. Needs a car, not a bike.
- fragmede 3y agosome sort of specially designed vehicle with brushes on the side. what would we call such a thing. some sort of sweeper for the street. idk
