“Chicago is where I was born and raised. And honestly, biking just makes me feel at peace. I'm usually not the most calm person - when I'm biking though, my mind is centered. I can pay attention to my surroundings. It's kind of like a meditation for me.” 🧵

We still have a ways to go in winning more popular support for bike lanes, but what Michelle Wu's beatdown of Josh Kraft showed us is that bike lanes simply aren't a motivating political issue for most people. I hope this is something that will give leaders more backbone when facing opposition.
Editorial: Bike Lane Haters Keep On Losing - Streetsblog Massachusetts
As it turns out, a considerable number of informed voters understand that if we actually want less traffic, we need to design streets that favor more efficient modes of transportation.

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.
For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

Spotted in Karlskrona, Sweden 🇸🇪🚲 Perfect illustration of how one parking spot for cars equals 8-10 spaces for bikes. Imagine #lifeaftercars @thewaroncars.bsky.social

It was fabulous seeing all of the great costumes at @chicritmass.bsky.social last night, including a Chicago Pope, a Jeff Koonz sculpture, astronauts, and a lot more! Did you see any fun costumes? 👀

Looking forward to police forces across the country asking drivers to leave their vehicles at home during Halloween. Prioritize the safety of ALL vulnerable road users.

Very frustrating to still see public campaigns like this from Delta PD telling kids to wear bright reflectors on their costumes and people to leave their bikes at home.
The risk to pedestrians on Halloween comes from drivers, not cyclists.

Eight years ago today, while in the Trump motorcade, I saw a bicyclist give the bird to the president's vehicle. I tweeted an AFP photographer's picture of Juli Briskman. It went viral. She got fired. Then she got elected. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...

I’m calmer when I can travel at walking/biking speeds and take in my surroundings… like this pretty yellow canopy of leaves.
