This is bad. Drivers: Phones down. Don't speed. Stop blowing those red lights. Get a rideshare or take the bus home from the bar. Be careful out there everyone.

There are so many mid-block bus stops in Indianapolis at neighborhood side streets, shopping center entrances, & apartment complex driveways, where pedestrians have no crosswalk, no lighting, & 4-6 lanes of high speed motor vehicle traffic to "run and pray" to get across. Dangerous by design.

Police departments treat e-mopeds & e-motos like motorcycles in Indiana. Those riding them thinking they are e-bikes are in for an expensive & awkward police-involved interaction. Motorcycles must have a VIN number, be registered, insured, & the rider must be licensed with a motorcycle endorsement.

Don't wear earbuds or over the ear headphones while cycling. It is dangerous (& annoying) to block your ability to hear around cars, other riders, & folks walking / jogging / skating. If you are wearing earbuds, leave one ear open or get bone conduction headphones that allow you to hear.

Unless there's a big project, Indy DPW Operations shouldn't be driving heavy duty trucks on the Monon Trail and Indy greenways. They have smaller Kubotas with trailers, and we don't know why they don't use those trail-sized vehicles.

Many cities have eliminated wasteful parking mandates for new developments. Property owners aren't forced to build more parking than they need, which is especially important for properties near popular greenways, historic village centers, and transit. Good that Indy is considering parking reform!

Deadly by design. This has been a known issue for a long time, both by safety regulators, Congress members, & the US auto industry. They are knowingly designing, marketing, & selling vehicles that are unsafe for those around them - especially those walking, biking & getting to bus stops.

This crash sounds like a nightmare caused by reckless driving. A speeding driver flips their vehicle in an urban neighborhood. The vehicle rolled several times and struck a bike rider. Several involved have severe injuries requiring hospitalization, including the bicycle rider that was struck.

At least 50 people are crazy enough to ride 204 miles across Indiana on June 27th. Are you one of them, or do you know someone that nuts? mailchi.mp/centralincyc... There is a shorter 168-mile route if 204 miles is just too much.

At the same time US DOT is asking state governors to eliminate safe biking and walking routes, NHTSA removed "safer designs" from their safety framework. This is bad folks. Ignoring proven safety interventions is ineffective and regressive. www.nhtsa.gov/pathways-to-... #VisionZero? #MoreCarnage
