Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Traffic can change in an instant. A car breaks down, or a bike appears out of nowhere. In moments like these, Collision Warning with Emergency Brake is developed to support you, using radar, cameras, and braking control to help prevent accidents. 💙

Today at 10am ET, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the extent of presidential powers to impose tariffs, and they will have a brief from National Taxpayers Union Foundation to help them.

Just watched a delivery driver sprint to his car because he parked in the road, blocking a lights-on ambulance. He moved the car to the other side and parked it in the street again. So many safety issues on our streets boil down to people’s impatience-fueled disrespect for other people’s safety.

Having grown up in Fairbanks, watching The Last Frontier on AppleTV is a weird experience. I can’t tell if they sent an actual scouting team to go up and do research or if they just sat an intern down with Google Maps and told them to write down all the words. 🤷♂️

Just watched these there cars all turn left from Eckinton PL to Florida Ave despite the no left turn. Enforcememt here would be good, but @ddotdc.bsky.social can you at least upgrade the signage so it’s more obvious?

The new Rivian e-bike sounds pretty amazing. Between the drive system, security features, regenerative braking, optional gear shifting, there's a lot that appeals, especially for urban biking. Curious to see what real-life review say.

Rivian’s spinoff micromobility company just unveiled its first electric bike
Rivian is known for designing its electric trucks from scratch. Now a spinout company has done the same thing for an electric bike.

I can imagine all the reasons why REI is closing down the online ReSupply, but it's nevertheless really disappointing. I'm not much of a used clothing shopper generally, but I've become a huge fan of ReSupply.

The lane going in at Florida/H St/14th NE is terrific, great work @ddotdc.bsky.social. Too often it’s these small gaps in an otherwise effective system of lanes that dramatically decrease the value and safety. This gap has been a problem for years, and it’s such an improvement to fix it. #bikedc

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

I cannot believe @ddotdc.bsky.social is replacing these street pavers on South Carolina in kind. They cost *way* more labor, don’t slow cars, make bike riding less good, and aren’t aesthetically interesting. Is this another historic preservation casualty?

Overheard DC, bike edition:
On R St NW.
Woman 1: I tried to make a joke about the divorce, but he was like “too soon, too soon.”
Woman 2: Well, yeah, he’s still married.

The hardest part of #NationalWeekWithoutDriving was this morning’s trip to @dickssportinggoods.bsky.social. There’s no good metro or bus options from Capitol Hill, and biking (which we did) means crossing NY Ave, which is astonishingly unpleasant.

It’s frustrating that Red Bear Brewing is family unfriendly after 8pm. I get that bars are trying to create a vibe, but that place is otherwise so welcoming.

Found myself in Portland today. Thought I’d share a couple scenes of the mayhem and war ravagedness. Somehow people were still strolling and brunching. 🤷♂️
