I yielded at a stop recently and a car behind me sped up after the stop and yelled at me through their window that i needed to stop at signs and then proceeded to intentionally hit me with their car because they were so incensed. Their daughter was in the car. Just a fun story for everyone.

When you’re craving that perfect farmers market bagel and all it takes is loading up the cargo bike and pedaling down a calm, protected bikeway with the kids… that’s real freedom. No traffic, no parking lots — just anticipation and fresh air.

I'm old enough to remember when @thewaroncars.bsky.social were the only ones showing up to car shows to ask manufacturers whether it was responsible to make cars so big and powerful.

Today, we have Doug DeMuro asking the same question to the CEO of Rivian.

Why does Trump attack Mamdani? Because, Mamdani says, “We will actually deliver on those commitments (to serve working people). And our delivery on them will throw his betrayal into stark relief. That is a threat to his politics, and it motivates so much of this language and this focus that he has.”

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it.
Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

Dear business owners against bike infrastructure,

I biked to the gym, then stopped at a local bakery on the way home. This was a spontaneous purchase decision made possible by my mode of transportation that the chaotic nature of car operation never affords me.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

In my experience of visiting DC, the only thing I ever felt threatened by was too many cars in the city.

Apparently the danger is bikes on sidewalks. Not cars flipping into poles. No, definitely the bikes.
Another photo. They went through a telephone poll. I often take the lane around this curve to prevent people from speeding around me in a blind corner.

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

(15 in Manhattan btw)
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.

People complain about people bombing MUPs on ebikes and scooters at unsafe speeds. But my overweight and out of shape self can hit 50kph on a downhill on my acoustic bike.

So the issue, if you want to make it one, is the choices of the rider, not the vehicle itself.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.
