I get passed by a hundred potential murderers every day on my bike commute.

it baffles me how many people drive around in the dark completely oblivious that their lights are off.

I busted out the little red dot for Squeaks last week and now every time I walk towards the cabinet by the stairs where I keep the laser pointer she runs to this step and starts squeaking for play time.

in stark contrast to the high speed close pass from a pickup towing a huge trailer last week;
here’s an A+ pass from a driver who slowed down enough to let there be room in the left lane so he could give ample space when passing me.
all it took was an extra 3 seconds.

this family was just trying to make it from the playground back to the neighborhood.
a ditch on 1 side; 45mph traffic on the other—with no protection from either.
Houston’s mayor thinks this is fine.
can you believe people actively opposed a plan to make this a buffered 10’ multi-use path?

why would we design school zones to look safe and attractive with fun mobility for students when we can have this instead?!?!?

#Houston safe passing ordinance:
•3’ for cars
•6’ for trucks/commercial vehicles
This driver gave neither, with his giant trailer coming even closer.
All to pull across the bike lane into a turn lane—instead of just slowing down and going safely behind me.
Video is 1/4 speed.

never let them tell you ‘cars = freedom.’
it’s a lie.
it’s something drivers tell themselves to justify the expense of car ownership & hours lost sitting in traffic.
if the same number of bikes were backed up as cars shown here, it’d take up the same amount of space as only 4 or 5 cars.

another driver not waiting their turn, assuming they can bully a bike out of their way.
she came within inches of clipping my bars; and with a 1,000 lumen headlight flashing in her face she 100% saw me & decided she didn’t care.
