Would be nice to apply these items (that aren't yet) to cars too.

Licensing fees. Required parking corrals. Geofenced no-go zones and slow zones. Fines and impoundment for improper parking. Wish more cities were doing these things because the e-scooter and dockless e-bikeshare companies won't do it themselves. They could even put a speed cap on first time users.

We knew the NHTSA pedestrian crash ratings methodology and reporting was trash. The US automakers with giant SUVs and bloated ego pickup trucks don't want consumers to know how dangerous those vehicles are to others, especially those walking, biking, and crossing the street.

Still wild that the Red Line BRT doesn't run up to Downtown Carmel.

Indiana could really focus on infill and sustainable economic density if they understood the benefits at the state level and put the brakes on polluting rural sprawl. Sadly, there still a push to expand and build new interstates that will destroy farms and woodlands with car-centric sprawl.

We couldn't ask for a better weather forecast for the Sunday, Sept 27th Member Picnic in Broad Ripple Park. If you haven't yet, you can still RSVP. forms.gle/tG45aBriRjNn... Ahead of the picnic, there are 10- and 25- mile rides, at 10am and 11am respectively.

It should also be easier to get a license suspended. Doctors and health centers aren't required to report someone to Indiana BMV if they have a dangerous seizure or fainting condition that would make it clearly unsafe to drive. Other states have a law requiring this type of reporting.

Stop consolidation is something that's happening here in Indy. Are there accessibility guidelines that we can help support? We do see some bus stops in unsafe places to cross the street being consolidated to where there is a new or existing crosswalk (with lighting) - and that's not a bad thing.

Darrion, the victim of this crash, has now passed. He was taken off life support due to lack of brain activity. His family is planning a memorial and media statement at the crash site on Tues, 9/8. We are in communication with his family. They noted the unsafe construction with closed sidewalks.

The new bus stops and marked crosswalks are great! The nasty mid-block crossings on our mind were our on high speed Georgetown Rd. Those blocks are very long, and there are bus stops at logical places near business and neighborhood entrances. Crossing Georgetown is - Yikes!

If someone has a Class 3 e-bike in Indy, but they're riding it responsibly, they are unlikely to run into an enforcement issue. We expect Indy's future e-micromobility ordinance to look similar to what they've done in Carmel and Fishers, but hopefully simpler language.

000

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 02/09/2026

Indy hasn't yet written an ordinance to deal with e-motos or handle the details of e-micromobility. There isn't a speed limit on Indy greenways. E-motos & e-mopeds are motorcycles, therefore illegal on greenways. Class 3 e-bikes are not legal on Indy greenways, but there's no enforcement.

100

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 02/09/2026

Class 3 e-bikes (for IN) are not allowed on greenways and rail trails - unless a local ordinance allows them. Both Carmel and Fishers (by ordinance) allowed Class 3 e-bikes on their greenways. They're handling the safety concern with a greenway speed limit, which is 15 mph in Carmel.

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 02/09/2026

IndyGo is making progress on safer locations for bus stops, but there are still so many mid-block bus stops. Some of those blocks are extra long, and the bus stop consolidation doesn't make sense. In those cases, there should be safer crossings.

100

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 02/09/2026

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.

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 01/09/2026

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.

To clarify, an electric 2- or 3-wheeled vehicle that goes over 20 mph with a throttle control is an e-motorcycle in Indiana. For that motorcycle to be 'street legal' it needs to have a VIN, be registered with Indiana BMV, insured, & the driver needs to be licensed with a motorcycle endorsement.

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.

Central Indiana Cycling @centralincycling.org · 24/08/2026

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.

Also, what the heck is up with the contractor dismantling the demonstration protected bike lane on the opposite side of very wide 46th Street from their sewer construction? They eliminated bike lanes on both sides of 46th St and tossed the safety project materials into the north sidewalk.

Remembering when this was a bike hub, BGI Downtown, and the YMCA, and that was pretty awesome! Not feeling inspired by the plaza proposal. It seems like Downtown needs more walkable residential to support local businesses, not another brick and concrete plaza.

Tonight (7/25) is the NITE Ride in Indianapolis! There is a 6-mile route for beginners, families, and those just looking for a short jaunt. Most of the riders will be doing the full 20-mile distance. This is a wonderful, healthy, & connecting celebration our our city at night with over 1000 riders.

Relative to where to set up, oh boy, that's a hard decision. Monument Circle will include the beginner and family riders that may only be doing the 6-mile shorter route. Also, the Circle is instantly recognizable to residents and visitors.

Ughh. Shadeland Ave is terrible. Just dropped into streetview, and the first view shows folks (with a kid) walking through a parking lot because there aren't any sidewalks. Shadeland is a really unsafe corridor, for all road users.

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!
