Been disappointed by politicians my entire life, but none as devastating as @wutrain.bsky.social turning her back on us. Emphasis on the us. Michelle Wu was different, a rare standout who didn't just talk, but walked the walk, biked the bike and T'd the T. She understood us because she was us.

We built cages and called them cars.
Comic panel of a congested city highway with a downtown skyline in the background. The cars are stuck in traffic and their windows are drawn as jail cell bars, with sad stick figures gripping the bars inside. On a separated bike path to the right, two cyclists ride freely. One asks, "can we help set them free?" The other replies, "no, only they can do that for themselves."

Just stumbled on this picture of me from four years hacking the coffee machine to work after I broke the carafe and it feels like the right thing to share right now.
Me holding the lid of the carafe over a pot to make coffee without the glass carafe

Update: ODOT will not be moving forward with my radically non-radical idea of improving urban mobility by NOT expanding freeways as Director of Urban Mobility. Alas. 😞
ODOT email stating they will not be moving forward with my application for Urban Mobility Office Director

So I applied to this ODOT Urban Mobility Office Director job figuring I'd be insta-rejected but made it past the first screen! What qualifications do I have to direct widening highways to reduce congestion? None, but neither does anyone else! But you bet I could increase urban mobility! #urbanism
Email from ODOT saying my application for Urban Mobility Office Director is moving onto the next step.

Bikes are great but what about when you need to go to multiple grocery stores for #carfree Thanksgiving supplies? Can't do that on a bike can ya?

It'll forever bother me that on a Saturday at 11:15AM it takes 18 minutes to bike down Dot Ave, the exact same amount of time it takes to drive the same exact 3.5 miles. What's incredibly frustrating though is that getting rid of cars would make that trip even faster for people biking! Sigh.
Google maps directions for driving and biking 3.5 miles down Dorchester Avenue, both taking 18 minutes

Neighborhood greenways are anti-bike infrastructure & only serve to move cyclists off main roads & onto residential roads leaving the main roads, which people still need to bike on to get to their destination, dangerous. Greenways are a waste of resources & align with Portland's decrease in biking.

Leave it to PBOT to harden a bike lane with a concrete curb and somehow make it worse by putting the curb inside the bike lane. 🤦‍♂️ #bikepdx FYI @bikeportland.bsky.social
