The Greens ARE a threat. But only to the status quo. They want to put power - and, yes, responsibility - into the hands of communities. Ordinary people. Not media tycoons who'd do anything for their country except pay tax in it! Fight back. Vote Green next Thursday! 👍

I've ridden a bike for many reasons during my life. These days it's mostly a mix of utility and escape. On weekdays I use my bike to get to and from work. On weekends I like to ride for many hours so my brain can be completely turned off and I can depart dystopia for a little while.

Lots of Americans have convinced themselves that having a 6000 lb SUV that gets shitty gas mileage and has huge blind spots and is hard to park and costs a ton is somehow the perfect vehicle to run errands in or to drive alone to work in—and they don't realize they've been brainwashed.

I still get news alerts for tons of fatal bike crashes and on a daily basis I am assaulted by the bias and stupidity of police investigators and a profound like of cognition by media that parrot their findings. Look at the way everyone/everything but the driver is responsible.

Intro to a story about a rider killed in Bakersfield, CA

Crux of the CHP report and the news story—the woman riding a bike was apparently killed because she was in that spot and the lighting was bad. I guess the driver wasn't involved.

This part of Carltons thread needs some explaining if you're not in the know. The 'magic circle' here refers to 5 big law companies doing corporate law. They're big cheeses. Frankly, though, the idea we've have to go looking for law breaking motorists is laughable. Ride a bike. You'll see 30 an hour

And yet there is always discourse that frames sporty bikes as uncomfortable or less practical than city bikes. Discourse that frames sporty riders as adversaries to transit riders. Discourse that frames spandex as alien. But everyone who rides is getting around on a bike and wants to get home alive.

Riding on an upright city bike in street clothes is totally awesome. There is zero reason to take shots at sportier bikes or people who ride them to celebrate transit riding. Often it's the same people doing both. Often it's different people with common needs. Everyone who rides are allies.

"Proliferation of larger vehicles threatens to undermine all the road safety gains being made on other fronts" Analysis of real-world collision data from almost 700,000 crashes shows SUV drivers are more likely to kill cyclists, especially children, than smaller car drivers

Cyclists 44% more likely to be killed by “supersized” SUVs than smaller passenger vehicles, as researchers warn against “proliferation of larger vehicles”

The study, which analysed real-world collision data from almost 700,00 crashes, also found that a child hit by an SUV or light truck driver was 82% more likely to be killed

I heard some illegal barriers had been installed on a walking and cycle bridge at Nob End in Farnworth so I swung by to have look. The gap between the two barriers is 65cm and they overlap by approximately 50cm. There's no way to get even a normal bicycle through this gap. ...

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.
