Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

Concerning any possible Trump-Putin ‘deal’ in Alaska to end the Ukraine war, it is vital to remember Putin has abrogated every agreement Moscow signed with Kyiv since independence in 1992-the Budapest Memo(1994) and the Friendship(1997) and Border(2003) Treaties. Leopards don’t change their spots.
