Now that our last big event for the year is over, and I have incredible friends to thank at @bikesd.bsky.social and SDBC for the success of BikeSD Presents. We tried new things, we tried big things, we brought new people into our work and we had a lot of fun! Here's me looking satisfied as hell

I can't stop smiling from last night. @thewaroncars.bsky.social delivered much-needed encouragement to fight the good fight with Life After Cars, along with tons of laughs and (deserved) dragging of SD car culture. Best part was just watching all the head nods, pops & cheers from such a stoked crowd

Traffic engineers designing the main entrance road to the city's largest university:
Let's give the drivers at least two 10' wide 50 MPH lanes in each direction.
And the cyclists? Hmm maybe we could squeeze a few inches for them between the speeding cars and this wall of poison oak

Why keep San Diego Ave open to car traffic on Old Town's busiest weekend of the year? Just so frustrated drivers can circle through the center of the dia de los muertos festivities looking for non-existent parking spots?

Brilliant. The city made signs to show how parking meter revenue funds real, tangible improvements in the neighborhood. This is how you communicate the true cost of parking!
