Ok #bicycle people, I need suggestions! I want to light up my bike with colorful LEDs to make me more visible from the side when it's dark at 5PM and I'm running errands. Any recommendations?
I keep seeing brightz, but they seem to get pretty negative reviews about durability.

I was on a Baywheels e-bike just now in a bike lane behind an e-scooter, a skateboard, and a traditional bike. Looked like a scene out of a Richard Scarry book about sustainable transportation.

When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you:
bent sign posts
broken car pieces
broken windshield glass
tire marks, etc.
For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲, 🦽 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.

Media coverage of traffic deaths matters: calling pedestrians "jaywalkers" and treating crashes as random tragedies—not design failures—makes funding safer streets harder.
Pedestrian deaths up 75% since 2010. We know the fixes; language shapes policy.

One problem is that the hard line NIMBYs who understand that filibustering can kill projects will exploit people's good faith to endlessly draw out public input processes so nothing ever actually gets decided or built.

Here it is, your #BlueSky #Bike Content of the Day for Monday, 11/10/25. For the unfamiliar, that is not a road, it’s a separated bike path, whose construction was accelerated after some beautiful, beloved, humans were run over by drivers while trying to traverse this street in a painted bike lane.

The carnage caused by FAA cutbacks cast a spotlight on the massive public subsidies required to have air travel function in the US. People think spending money on bike lanes and rail is socialism while TRILLIONS have been spent to prop up the airline industry and to build and maintain roadways.

If I were in charge of Downtown LA I would make every single street a single lane if it's one way and one lane each way if it's two way. The rest would be tree protected bike lanes and whatever's left for pop out parks and a little parking.

This is a shame. If we had the same amount of murders as we did road and pedestrian deaths, the public would rightfully go into hysterics.
A proposal to narrow the Alameda from four lanes to two directional lanes has been dropped.

The city still plans to make other safety improvements.

There were 78 fire fatalities in 2024, and 253 traffic deaths.
Former Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh is right when she says interagency accountability is the way to achieve Vision Zero. We all have a responsibility when it comes to street safety.

They also lied about the changes being safer. Specifically, the design elements they are removing:
- narrow lanes
- back in diagonal parking
- concrete protected bike lanes
have all been proven to be safer for all road users including drivers.

Need solace. My Encinitas City Council just voted to rip out protected bike lanes on one of our main arterials, in front of a High School.
Reasoning? "These were put in to discourage vehicular travel and boost the climate lobby."
What does one say to that?

Drivers in @sandiego are completely out of control. An uber driver almost hit my wife on Saturday coming back from Ride the Point. He was trying to use the bike lane on Harbor Dr to skip traffic.
Holy shit dude how did this driver get on the Perishing bikeway??
