“Slow Down. Let Our Children Live.” Generations before us fought for walkable streets. They set for us the example we need today. Cleveland 1961: Along a road with no sidewalk, a human wall of volunteers protected children walking to and from school.

We checked and there is no, one, answer to how many people a Tardis can carry. But we are certain it has great potential as a mass transit vehicle, what with it taking folks to another dimension and all.

Especially if it is facing West, it would provide more effective cover if it were wider. Look at the FLASH stops where the West-facing coverings tilt upwards &provide little shelter from sun/rain coming from the West. Designers must not have spent time standing in hot summer sun waiting for a bus.

Credit to MCDoT for trying to improve bus stops. "Seven bus stops...now feature new Axel‑style benches with built‑in solar lighting. These energy‑efficient benches boost visibility during evening, nighttime & early mornings." But how effective are these in protecting riders from sun and rain?

They have no business being in the bike lane. The ass-to-ass parking to deter theft suggests the drivers intend to be there for a while. Brazen.

Monday morning outside Rotterdam Centraal, thousands of cyclists stream toward the station in a carefully choreographed flow. What you’re seeing is the power of systems thinking—the bicycle and train both succeed because they work together seamlessly, where each mode extends the reach of the other.

Cars have a geometry problem. The massive infrastructure dedicated to them is an illusion of poorly allocated space. Cities run best on walkability, bikes, and transit. The personal automobile has no rightful future dominating our streets. Autonomous, EV, nor petrol.

In #weekwithoutdriving today, my father, my son and I biked to our local lumberyard, purchasing the wood to build a bench. They helpfully cut it for us and it all fit in my cargo bike. Shop local!

Radiohead, In Rainbows tour, Merriweather Post Pavillion. Traffic to venue always a nightmare, so we arrived super early. Except it was pouring rain and high-30s/low-40s. Were in lawn and theres no coverage. Opener finishes and Radiohead takes about 90m to setup. We leave after 3 songs.
