And yet we're told that walkability, transit, and 15-minute cities are about "forcing a lifestyle" on people.
What fresh hell

Was recently told to essentially “Shut up and stick to bike advocacy” after a post supporting the trans community.
1. GTFO
2. My voice is not some singular thing - bike advocacy is a small part of my makeup-you don’t like me or my position on things refer to point 1

Signed,

As @sgoodyear.bsky.social so eloquently conveys, dependence on a functioning car to satisfy the needs of life is the antithesis of ‘freedom.’
🚗💥 What if life after cars is better for everyone?

In LIFE AFTER CARS, @sgoodyear.bsky.social of @thewaroncars.bsky.social shows how communities can thrive when we design for people, not traffic.

A bold, hopeful vision for the future of our cities.

You gotta pay more for houses with walkability because we don't build nearly enough of them...

Walkability shouldn't be a "perk"

It should be the default

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Terrible story but great reporting by Laura Penington of the Denver Post:
- "A man died... after being hit by the driver of a van while riding his bike"
- "the driver struck him from behind"

And some extra context that you rarely ever see:
- "There are no bike lanes along that stretch of road"

Creeping through rush hour traffic on an F8 at an agonizingly slow pace. This is bonkers! Anyone else think we should speed up transit by creating more dedicated bus lanes?

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Been finding a lot of joy in @jpcoovert.bsky.social channel again. I go in You Tube waves of interest. But whenever I hop back into it, there's a handful of channels that help rejuvenate my flagging morale - this is one of them
