MPLS Bike Wrath

If drivers can't afford a vehicle that keeps up with the flow of traffic, they should cut back on lattes and avocado toast until they can buy a bicycle like an adult.

FUN FACT: MN 169.18 subd. 8, regarding maintaining a safe following distance from vehicles ahead, applies specifically and exclusively to motor vehicle operators.

Outlaw drivers should be spoken to with a level of respect commensurate with their behavior.

Really glad we designated these bus lanes for Traffic Control to illegally use as passing lanes.

Really nice that we designated these bus lanes for adult toddlers to use for their unsignaled little nonsense passes.

Man, some urbanists and bicycle/pedestrian safety advocates still own and drive cars and that is *fucked up*.

Never forget that infrastructure interventions are reformist half-measures. Car abolition is the only way to make our communities safe for everyone.

Jesus, we assumed they were parked. That is fucking *wild*.

These cars look awfully unattended and vulnerable.

Just ban private ownership and operation of motor vehicles. No more bending over backwards to enable the nasty little habit these antisocial turds have of placing their comfort and convenience over the lives, safety, and health of their neighbors.

Stop enabling drivers. Car abolition now.

Incorrect!

Traffic control is only freed from local ordinance. No exception is provided to state statute also prohibiting stopping, standing, and parking in bike lanes.

Further, no exception to local ordinance prohibiting driving in bike lanes is provided.

Always a good day to remember that @minneapolismn.gov doesn't give a single solitary fuck about road safety or the law. All they care about is collecting that bag.

Car abolition is the only real solution to car violence.

mpd try not to break the law they swore to uphold mega challenge, impossible

Bad enough to get around town in the second-leading cause of death in children without engaging in this kind of horseshit.

Drivers, and we cannot stress this enough, are awful.

That hat looks real fucking good on you!

Hey @metrotransitmn.bsky.social failure to yield to a pedestrian at an unsignalized intersection isn't just a petty misdemeanor - it's a misdemeanor criminal offense.

What will you be doing to guarantee this driver does not further endanger the public with their lawless behavior?

If you want the picture on the right, stop advocating for reformist half-measures and get onboard the car abolition train.

I am an ICE taskforce Operator. I bought this Punisher gaiter off Etsy. I spent my weekend asking the guys at the bar where they "hire their Mexicans". A 19 year old with pink hair is throwing organic tomatoes at me. My boss says I cant kill civilians. I'm the most persecuted person in the world.

To be clear: we want very much to force everyone out of their cars.

Drivers have had over a century to demonstrate even the barest interest in behaving like adults behind the wheels of their gigantic human-to-sausage converters. They've flatly refused.

Take their nasty little toys away from them.

The correct conclusion is to never, ever drive a motor vehicle.

Four noble bicycles rest at the base of a monument proclaiming "Victory Memorial Drive."

Pretty nice day for a bicycle ride.

Minneapolis has tremendous bike lanes. Big beautiful bike lanes.

The crooked anti-car lobby says these bike lanes are overrated. Total losers. Frankly, you've never seen bike lanes this phenomenal.

These petrol palookas are slow as hell.

Get out there and lower their self-esteems.

What the hell do we have a VisionZero department for if they can't even stop protective infrastructure from being used to coddle the convenience of drivers?

Charges: Unlicensed driver purposely hit 4 in Minneapolis crosswalks; police say 1 has died The most severely injured in the back-to-back incidents was dragged beneath the car, the charges read.

This is why it matters.

People with Critical Habitat plates who are still driving cars for some stupid reason: how's that cognitive dissonance going for ya?

"Ride a bike," they said. "It's good for your health," they said.

The reason most urbanists are car reformists rather than car abolitionists is because they erroneously believe they are "good drivers" (a nonexistent category) and wish to continue using their cars despite such behavior's obvious conflict with their ethical commitments.

We'd predict that a lot of those folks would be less inclined to park there if their side mirrors started disappearing.

This is not a recommendation, just a prediction.
