This evening I attended this joint organizational meeting of the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition and the Bicycle Alliance of Chapel Hill, and I’m so excited about the future they’re planning together.

I'll be honest the same multiple threat near-hit at the same intersection twice in one day is a new low. @ncdot.bsky.social please stop letting drivers decide when it's ok to enter a crosswalk with an active walk signal. They routinely fail to notice or care.

Allowing right on red + left on permissive yellow at a heavily used, two-way multi-use path would be considered professional malpractice in any other field. We KNOW it leads to deaths and serious injuries. And yet transportation professionals STILL sign off on it. 👇

Is there a cost analysis to this? How much is the town giving up? How much $$ will local businesses earn because of this?

It's odd, to say the least, to hold this public hearing in Hillsborough. Please sign the petition urging NCDEQ to relocate the hearing or add a hearing in Chapel Hill or Carrboro, the communities directly affected by the impacts of UNC-Chapel Hill's cogeneration plant. #carrboro #chapelhill #unc

Lowes has covered bike parking and easy access from Weaver Dairy. It isn’t the most ideal rack install, but it sure is nice to have quick access to pick up hardware supplies by bike!

A beautiful day for a ride to the public library. Who else is getting out by bike before the holiday?

Really feeling this one as we ask the town to narrow a neighborhood road from 44’ so drivers are more compelled to meet the 25mph speed limit. ✍️ Ian Lockwood

Heads up #DurhamNC #BullCity www.reddit.com/r/bullcity/c...
Screenshot of a post on reddit. Text reads: 

"Durham Public Schools switching to 80% bus coverage until winter break
Heads up for everyone with a kid in DPS—from December 2 to December 20, each bus route will only run 4 days a week on a rotating schedule. Families will need to get their kids to school themselves one day a week.

So far, this policy only goes to Winter Break, but may be extended. The school is excusing absences or tardies due to lack of bus service."

...I’m really posting about a system that is failing millions of Americans every day. And I’m doing it from a position of deep professional knowledge gained from decades of research and teaching on this very subject. Trying to fix this system is my day job. It's also my life. 4/4

I complied with this 'don't walk' signal for so long this morning my bike went into anti-theft mode. I was there for over 9 minutes before it changed. It's not enough to build the infrastructure. We also have to care about those who use it. #BikeSky #ChapelHillNC @chapelhillonbikes.bsky.social
Photo of an intersection between an urban arterial and a side street. There is a sidepath running along the urban arterial. The photo is taken from the perspective of a sidepath user, looking across the side street, at a 'don't walk' signal.

Looking for friends in Chapel Hill and Carrboro that enjoy bike trips over car trips when possible. Anyone?
