friendly reminder that Bikesky has a labeler, and it includes an Anti-Cyclist label that you can use if you’d rather not see people being nasty towards bike enjoyers

This is fantastic!

Anyone here have some resources?
@urbanism.plus I’m proud to be part of a municipal housing taskforce that recommended its city acquire a $10M housing bond which passed last week. Still a lot of work ahead of us. Would love to hear if anybody has any resources that could help put these dollars to their best & highest possible use.

License suspension doesn't keep drivers off the road, why would it work with bikes?

I had the joy of experiencing my first school #bikebus today, to take my godson on Budlong’s inaugural ride! #bikechi
Favorite kid quotes:
“It’s like a school bus but with bike wheels”
“This is the best way to get to school”
“I could do this everyday”

I wrote a longform post on some of my thoughts, pictures, videos and experiences with Chinese urbanism. But Noah Smith consistently misses the mark on what living in urban China is actually like as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese cities. Link in next post.

Our non-existent pedestrian infrastructure along arterials is inexcusable. Concrete barriers should be a legally required bare minimum effort

EVs are, at best, harm reduction.
A sedan EV/compact car is better than an E-SUV.
Walkable urban neighborhoods, ebikes, and transit are even better than EVs.

opposition to bus lanes from people who have more cars than can fit in their driveway and live a resulting life of carbrain-inflicted misery are the equivalent of people who take more than their share of food at a function and start complaining that they have a stomach ache

When I was a little kid, if I saw an old person walking around, I’d have an emotional response and ask, “How come no one helps and drives them?”

Anyway. I’m a pedestrian and transit user now, and when I see an older person walking across the street, I make time to walk slow, just to make sure.

Watching her comments reminded me a lot of the people who like to selectively talk about accessibility only when they want to argue against bike infrastructure. Her comments were rife with misinformation and utterly vile.
How fucking dare Julie Fedorchak invoke the disabled Americans she's waging war against as a reason to cut Medicaid.

The phone number for her DC office is (202) 225-2611

Probably not much of an issue on unsealed trails. Their inherent instability will likely make them less enjoyable on a longer journey such as along a rail trail. However there will be some who choose to use them.

You’ll soon be able to ride your e-scooter legally on Sydney streets. Here’s how
E-scooters are set to become a more common sight on roads and shared paths in NSW as the state government releases its plan to legalise the popular devices.

Last week was a very bad week.

But this setback won't destroy this program I care so much about.

Please share and donate (if you're able) so we can continue our mission of increasing access to cargo bikes via free rentals!

Eh, I'll take it.
I really don't like a lot of "urbanist" things and I love congestion pricing
Literally every New Yorker I’ve talked to about it has said they love it.
