New study suggests that a shortage of secure bike parking is limiting e-bike adoption. Glad to see this issue getting attention. It's intuitive that people with quasi-secure bike storage might be OK risking a pedal bike, but not an e-bike that's more expensive. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

If three NYers were shot up by strangers that got away it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. If three subway riders died after being pushed on 🚇tracks by strangers it would be on CNN and NYT/WSJ above fold. Three NYers were killed by hit-run drivers and nary a peep?

A fun game of "Spot the Bikeway Obstruction." I told the driver it was dangerous. He told me to fuck off.
A protected bikeway in downtown Minneapolis passes a parked Sysco semi-truck. A low metal ramp with two black-and-yellow warning stripes stretches completely across the bikeway from the truck to the sidewalk, blocking the entire riding surface and creating a difficult-to-see obstacle. The ramp is immediately beyond a driveway where drivers cross the bikeway, forcing people biking to watch for turning vehicles while also trying to avoid the unexpected hazard.

This is a devastating, senseless loss. Saint Paul is on pace for more pedestrian deaths this year than last. There’s so much our city must continue to do to prevent this—better street design, more enforcement, more investments in bike lanes and public transit. www.twincities.com/2026/06/24/s...

I'd say that this applies to anyone traveling in a car in any city. Being in a car versus walking, riding, or taking transit fundamentally changes how you view a place and your relationship to it. I wish more leaders set this kind of example. www.npr.org/2026/04/16/n...
Mamdani hasn't had time to really think about all that space he now has, because he spends most of his time at City Hall and around New York City. He tries to keep a semblance of his old life by getting around the city on foot, by bike or train.

"If you spend every single day driving around in a tinted window security detail, you will have a very specific view of the city," he said. "You actually meet other New Yorkers and you break out of the bubble that so many have come to expect of politics, where politicians only seem to be spending time with other politicians or the people who donated to make them politicians."
