Fast-growing #Charleston SC is a natural for mass transit, which they're finally embracing with a new BRT line paralleling I-26. Bike infrastructure will be part of it too. Kudos to local realtor Matt O'Neill for telling the story www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nm_...

Whenever I see "ebike accident", I know it means a driver killed someone. It's no exception here. Can we stop this insanity?

After a bipartisan, landslide passage in both the House and Senate, @henrymcmaster.bsky.social has signed S.812 into law. Cyclists in South Carolina now may treat stop signs as yield signs, and red lights as stop signs. palmettowalkbike.com/2026/05/20/t...

“In Tokyo, cycling is more than a mode of transport; it sustains every-ness for residents. Most daily errands are completed within a 2-to-3-kilometer radius—a distance easily covered by walking or cycling, even in a mega-city of 14 million people. #Tokyo is a cycling powerhouse.”

For those who don't know: Davis CA is probably the first city in the US dedicated to being bike-friendly, largely thanks to UC Davis chancellor Emil Mrak, who served from 1959-1969. Davis has the highest bike modeshare in the US, at 22% of trips.
