The darkness is coming and you should be seen. As cyclists our most vulnerable time is during the winter months and I’m here to help. Whether it’s a LaneSaber or a Frame LED highlight, let’s connect on lighting solutions that help keep you safe.

Its possible... you might need to contact your local attorney to see if you are due any "backward paid virtue signaling" 🧑‍⚖️ *would it be wrong to toss the #BikeLaw folks into such a joke? Would I be cited for coercion-by-sarcasm in any court? **having too much fun w/this, sorry 😅

Every time you view or like a post or take most actions on Bluesky or Blacksky your requests go through your Personal Data Server (PDS). It’s also the home of all your data. To date, we’ve used other people’s software to run Blacksky’s fleet of PDS. In the next week we’ll be migrating to our own.

Usually, today is kind of like a "weekend." I get to rest, do a "no where to go but enjoy the roll" kind of bike ride... or just chill w/wife and dog ...the gearing for today is a lot different. Lots of cycling bits today. And a few async techie bits. Not complaining... but def noticing the shift

But if we don't carry our helmet around, how will be virtue-signal that we also can use helmets as a "Thor hammer" to folks who didn't cycle to the destination as we have 😅 /s

We need a range of solutions to address car dependency and create safer streets. It's a toolkit that involves: Redesigning roads to slow speeds and impose consequences for dangerous driving, improved infrastructure, expanded public transit, better driver education, and enforcement.

Again, it’s bad that instead of funding preventative measures to the built environment that would *prevent* crashes or speeding all the energy is put towards surveillance and punishment after the fact.

The other day I listened to a presentation from someone who worked on the recent Massachusetts micromobility commission report, and I really appreciated him mentioning that what is needed is better and expanded infrastructure to support electric micromobility in order to reduce pedestrian conflicts.

Pedestrian and e-bike (or acoustic bike!) conflicts often arise because pedestrians, cyclists, rollers, etc. are all sharing the small amounts of space not given to cars. We need to take space from cars to make room for better infrastructure to support micromobility. 2/

As I always say, all I want is for e-bikes to be discussed in a way that aligns with the actual risks and takes into account the larger context of traffic violence and the fact that cars are still the most dangerous. We need less talk about bans and crackdowns and more focus on infrastructure. 1/

Now, imagine if Bluesky went down and never came back up again. But you log into Blacksky like nothing happened. You 🫵🏾 are used to your friendships and connections being lost because of a corporation’s actions. The collective AT Protocol project is to demonstrate otherwise. Tell a friend.

Birds are conversational. Chatty even. Some, shout too much. Autos, buses, and trains have this steady, more annoying sound. It enters loudly, and leaves slowly. “Cities aren’t loud, cars are,” was this morning’s immediate thought.
