David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Had to get a new wheel and all it took was a train ride to a bike shop in Madison, NJ and too much money but now i am fully "Back on my BS" (Back on my Bicycle, Sir). 030

David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yeah that's all fair. You do not gotta hand it to light rail or bus service under any circumstances. 010
David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 14/09/2026What would change that for you, specifically? (I live in the Heights and don't have a car, but I understand why folks do). 100

David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I knew this was what his dogs looked like because when he was my State Senator (before maps got redrawn) he sent me a Christmas card with a family photo on the front of him and his wife and the dogs. Kinda wish I kept it. 000
David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Yeah. I can see why this kinda thing is counterproductive. My best explanation is that you get involved and you'll go out and see somebody in your city die under a box truck and some haters come out and want to know if they were wearing a helmet and like that makes you insane. 120
David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Ok fair. I'm not doing that. I got pilled on safe streets because pushing a baby around my city in a stroller felt way too dangerous, and i can see why an activist blog does this for clicks bc it's crazy-making to always feel like everyone underestimates the danger cars pose to tiny squishy bodies. 010
David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I mean, like, I get it, but on the other hand lots of people rely on riding bikes to get to and do their jobs, and three people on bikes were killed in hit & run crashes in less than a week in NYC (which is supposed to be one of the most bike-friendly cities in the U.S.). It's me, I'm the somebody? 100

David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A handful of professional cyclists have been hit by cars before and during races this summer and it was inevitable that one of these crashes would end in death. It should be obvious by now that we persistently underestimate and ignore the danger that cars pose to people. 141

David Sankey @davidsankey.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This was a great book, all the more impressive for the fact that @jonathanslaght.com managed to turn a second-hand account into an adventure story that felt really personal and urgent. 100
