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.

with the laser focus on climate change, in my experience some of the biggest internal barriers to effective energy sector advocacy were precisely those long time volunteers, who were skeptical of clean energy development and often privileged local or aesthetic concerns over systemic thinking

The French do multi-phase pedestrian crossing, and that's why they can have absolute priority and we can't.
Also: their TSP philosophy is fundamentally different >>>

bsky.app/profile/heyj... Rode this project back in February with people who had varying levels of confidence, led by bike/ped professionals. E/W routes are a challenge in north county coastal, this one is vital.
All 3 options keep the protected bikeway though 1 proposal converts the uphill (e/b) side to paint-buffered bike lane where protection is needed most due to speed differentials.
~$3M avg for these 3 alts, that’s a lot of money to add a 2-way left turn lane and reorient the parking stalls.

One school district in South Carolina has had 4(!) crossing guards hit or killed on the job.
These are people trying to fix the problems caused caused by traffic engineers, and are dying doing it.
