"Americans prefer a car-dependent lifestyle."
I can't tell you how much I hate this glib sentiment. The only way to determine someone's true, enduring preference is to give them full familiarity with their options. Americans have no familiarity with their options! They've only seen sprawl!
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.
Are cyclists on regular bikes going to have to turn up to court to prove they were on a normal bike, if they receive a ticket?
Is the issue ebike riders riding recklessly? If so, there are already laws against that, which are doing nothing.
Every argument I see online against public transport has someone saying that it doesn't work in rural communities and they need cars there... I don't think people realise you're not forced to use it...
"American, enjoy real freedom"
That's a hilly one through the Pennines!
People ignore all paint where I am, so what does a bike lane matter?
@thebikinglawyer.bsky.social is on point!!
Why solve crime, when small infractions generate revenue?
There's a woman in DelCo with a solution to unwanted vehicles 😂😂😉
The state I live in requires 4' to pass a cyclist, and that you slow down, but then they paint a 3' wide bike lane. Assuming you ride in the middle of it, vehicles pass around 2' away without slowing.
All it takes is someone in a wheelchair reporting that they can't get by
The interior reminds me of the common spaces at International House in Philadelphia
So far in May I have ridden my bike to First Friday, which had a bike valet; Ridden to, and participated in, a community ride with my local cycling advocacy group, and ridden to a spring beer garden at a local park... Life is good!

3 minutes late on this occasion - sure beats arriving in an hour late and watching my connection leave as I arrive!
That being said, I’m not finished yet - next I’m taking the Renfe EuroMed down to Alicante this evening which is a run by a pair of S130 Talgo sets…
Crazy how safety is only an issue when it comes to transit. Even though driving is considerably more dangerous.
The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages.
If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.
Next step is apartments. Then you have European-style.mixed-use zoning 😮
It's busier than the day, because there's at least one person there 😂
They recently started making malls somewhere you can do more than shop, and it's great
Jesus. We must do something about dangerous pedestrians.
Posted this to Reddit and got told it was my fault I got close passed. I tried to explain that the only reason I hugged the line was that I predicted they'd close pass, and they did! I was doing 20mph when they passed, for context.
Interrupted by Garmin 😂😂😂
Maybe it's from out of state
I also rode my bike today, and made sure to hit up the traffic survey on the newest bike lanes in my town!
www.yahoo.com/news/york-po... I don't ride an ebike, but this is happening a few counties away from me... Can they also warn and ticket drivers? I drive through there all the time, and the driving standards are low in general.
I did the ground investigation for that, when I lived in the UK!
A picture of a cycle computer (Coros Dura) indicating that it used 1.1% battery, but gained 0.8% using solar, for a total usage of 0.3% in 48 minutes on a clear day.
The sun is shining, I'm back on the bike, and my Coros Dura is loving life. Highly recommend this thing!
Not even a bike lane, that's a "sharrow" which has been placed incorrectly by the road crew 😂
@rebcycle.bsky.social can you make a bar plug style, folding, small convex mirror? I'd like it to fold away securely when I don't need a mirror (on trails)
