I really don't like the term "micromobility" to reference electric scooters, one-wheeled devices, ebikes, etc. It is too technocratic. How about Personal Electric Vehicles, Personal EVs, PEVs?

Great news for people who bike in Chicago! The IL Supreme Court denied the City of Chicago's effort to overturn our 2022 verdict against the City for failing to maintain a protected bike lane which resulted in serious injuries for our client. Trying to exit the bike lane blocked by a stopped bus,

I had a really nice time gravel racing in Iowa City this weekend. Core4 is the race. It’s well organized and a lot of fun. Hot though. Strong recommend.

Tip: If someone, even a bike shop, sells you a bike/ebike that is missing a vital piece, like the key for the ebike battery, this is a red flag that the bike is stolen and that you should not buy it. (Yeah, this happened.)

Insane experience: Biking to work in Dearborn bike lane. Heavy car traffic. Several bikers behind me when 2 Chicago police cars, w/ lights & sirens, come speeding at me in the protected bike lane! Had to jump the curb to avoid. Whatever the emergency was was it worth putting more lives at risk?

I’m having a great time at the Illinois Bike Summit. Obama USDOT Sec, Ray LaHood just spoke. “It doesn’t matter what this administration does. What matters is what all of you do.” Yes!

This is Milwaukee and Western right now. Does any company care less about the safety of Chicagoans than Sysco? This is not unusual for them.
