Something about the shooting yesterday doesn't feel right.

It feels too convenient. A vetted Afgan national that was granted asylum, randomly shoots a National Guardsman near the WH for no reason right when the NG was set to leave DC because there was no violence.

Now the NG is not leaving DC.
Trump vows to 'permanently pause' migration from 'third world countries' after National Guard shooting
The president called for "reverse migration" in a lengthy social media post late on Thanksgiving and said that he wanted to deport anyone "non-compatible with Western Civilization."

Have you ever seen a bike lane sweeper - pulled behind a bike?

Volunteers in Kirkland have a new tool that attaches to the back of an e-bike. It's good for protected bike lanes, sidewalks, and narrow trails.

But I think my favorite part of this interview with KIRO's John Curley is when Curley asserts that incoming Mayor Katie Wilson will be making "every single DEI hire that you can have" including "LGBTQ two spirit" people and Nelson said nothing. An ally to queer community to the very end.

Seattle Neighborhood Greenways and Cascade Bicycle Club are both represented. @nondriver.bsky.social is transportation co-lead!
Mayor-elect Katie Wilson just announced her transition team, with 61 members overseeing different policy areas. Transition teams are largely an expression of values and policy focus, although I expect some of these folks will end up in the administration. publicola.com/wp-content/u...

Welp, after years of planning, pots of dedicated funding, promises that despite other elements getting yanked from the plans that sidewalk repairs were still on the table, the only sidewalk on LWB that got repaved this year was the segment right in front of Bruce's house.

This is genuinely good news (it’s wild that regulators only consider impacts to male bodies in their testing). But we desperately need safety testing for people outside vehicles. The auto industry keeps building models with higher crosswalk kill rates, but regulators don’t even test this so 5 Stars!

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

This race is likely over.
Katie Wilson is up 91 votes in the Seattle Mayor's race as Wilson-mentum continues to pay dividends.
Wilson-mentum is real.

The gap in the Seattle Mayor's race has narrowed to just 4,300 votes, or 1.88%.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Some folks said we were too harsh in our episodes on on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling. This amazing video from Not Just Bikes suggests we weren’t harsh enough.
I'm a longtime fan of Not Just Bikes, but his 95(!) minute video on John Forester and Vehicular Cycling is truly his magnum opus.

If you are even remotely interested in the history of bicycling in America, it is worth a watch.
