If you’re waiting for there to be more bikers in order to build bike lanes, you’ve got it backwards
Protected bike lanes have a near-magical ability to produce cyclists.
This new study of 28 US cities finds that census block groups w/protected bike lanes expanded bike commuting almost 2x faster than those w/standard bike lanes & >4x faster than those w/o new lanes.

At the Nashville SC game, a giant flag for La Brigada de Oro, the Latino supporters section, which is not here tonight due to ICE activity. NSC officials tried to remove it, but were met with vehement objections by supporters clubs, who threatened a giant walkout if they did.

I'm warm and in a house. Open Table Nashville seeks to help fellow Nashvillians who aren't. We'll vouch for this org. Giving feels good. And it's going to be extremely cold this week.

Jackson Ferrell is a law student. He's wearing a sport coat. He's asking that the council continue to fund the eviction right to counsel program, now that the ARP funding for that program is exhausted. He encourages the council to visit General Sessions Court, which he calls "an eviction mill."

FWIW Nashville folks I just called Rep. John Rose’s D.C. office to express my fears as a former congressional staffer (w Rep. Cooper) that all my private data is almost certainly being accessed by a private citizen. Woman who answered says she - and a lot of people - share my concerns. CALL.
