A tragic and sad loss for the Wolfpack. Bad driving behavior coupled with subpar car dependent infrastructure caused such horrible harm.

This is not acceptable. We MUST stop normalizing this carnage!

And she was “hit by a car”? ffs, the driver killed her!

Its a great evening to curl up on the couch with my cat and ‘Life After Cars’ by @thewaroncars.bsky.social, relaxing after a pleasant walk to pick up the book at @quailridgebooks.bsky.social.

If in Raleigh, plan to show up to stand up as true patriot for American Democracy tomorrow afternoon.

We must not allow a further erosion of our liberties by the Administration.

I’m relieved that in the past few hours, the only new news is about preventable traffic deaths and random gun violence. Maybe the dictatorship won’t have any impact after all. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am really quite disappointed in the framing by the WSJ of this issue. The comparison is not e bikes vs other bikes, but rather bicycles compared to cars as personal transport. Are cars going to be limited to 15mph?

But when it’s an Israeli hostage, emaciated after over 660 days in Hamas captivity?

President Donald Trump says the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.

Happy Summer from the @raleighgov.bsky.social greenway.

Make your summer great again by getting outside and using any new bike/ped infra nearby.

This glorious Delk Memorial Bridge over Crabtree Creek is worth a special trip. Thank you @oaksandspokes.bsky.social and those who brought it to life!

The spat between the Nazi car dealer and the fascist dictator is just noise.

It’s entirely possible the whole thing is a charade to distract attention from their destruction, whilst entertaining the herd.

I’m watching the pop culture hit TV series “The Last of Us”. The premise is a Zombie Apocalypse.

Of the many implausible things, one is people would ride horses if all the cars are defunct.

We’d be much more likely to ride bikes. Simple, robust, no fuel, widely available, nimble and fast.

Whether you call them rotaries, traffic circles or roundabouts, they offer a safer alternative to the four-way stop. But the modern roundabout has been decades in the making.

Wall Street Journal, welcome to the War on Cars!

It is great to see one of our country’s leading newspapers print a serious article about #trafficviolence and how drivers imperil the elderly.

This story about the MAGAt Kristi Noem, theoretically the person overseeing our country’s security, having her bag swiped, is just too hilarious. 😂

Late last night, an arsonist attacked my friend Gov. Josh Shapiro’s official residence in a reprehensible act. Thanks to law enforcement’s swift action, he and his family are safe. Anna and I are praying for them and the immediate apprehension of the coward who set the fire.

The tariffs are going to cause maximum cost, pain, and disruption, with little benefit economically or for transportation.

Raising car prices will just frustrate drivers, without shifting anything about car dependency.

#TrafficViolence strikes again, this time sadly close to home.

Pierre-Louis was a student from France, studying abroad here in Raleigh NC with Skema Business School, where I am an adjunct.

The entire school community is devastated.

Find the driver!

Since my community is designed to be car dependent, I have to have these machines.

Today I am waiting at DMV. What a waste of time. I can’t help but notice there’s enough people here spending $$$ to throw a kickin party. Instead we wait in a line angry at being here together.
