!["This is just the most recent escalation of the administration’s war on bike lanes.
January 2025: Grants for bike safety projects are frozen. Grantees are asked to remove bike facilities from proposed projects to get funding.
November 2025: Chairman Graves of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee states, "We’re not going to be spending money on ... bike paths or walking paths [in the next transportation bill].”
March 2026: The administration tried to remove DC’s 15th Street bike lane (spoiler alert: we won the court case protecting it) as a test case to restrict bike lanes on National Highway System roads.
July 2026: Secretary Sean Duffy says he’s defunded “DEI bike lanes” and put $1.7 billion towards “real” projects
Now: Duffy is asking Congress to restrict almost all federal transportation funding for bike lanes, instead asking Congress to fund bike lane removals."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:el5r7gg2gi7fkdyyhlqxfoj3/bafkreif7snwpguz57gzrqhbysdcx33njdvjs6nxvyh7aiodkb5csyyzefa)

with providing funding so we could do more in our community. We did a Bike Day for Children in Poplar on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. We gave away bikes and had stickers and other little gifts for all the children. It helped 87 kids get a new helmet.” - Sunee Erickson, of the Fort Peck Tribal Elves.
