I’m traumatized to this day.

Fire in the Sky. Had no business watching this as a 9 yr old. I stayed late to watch it at a friend’s house and had to ride my bike home in the dark.

I commute all winter long in MI. Cargo bike is ~5 yrs old and going strong. The only noticeable difference is the battery struggles in the winter. I bring it inside as much as is practical.

Who’s got Hoboken or Newark recs? I’ll be visiting in a couple weeks and want to get put on some of that east coast urbanism.

My bike is my favorite fashion accessory. This was a "surprise" dress 👗 gift from my husband and I brought it home for them to see it out in the wild.

Every time I see this bike I make a mass transit joke and no one even laughs. 😢

Just the standard traffic calming measures but they struggled to correlate it to a reduction in non-auto related crime. I think it is valid but relevant studies are few and far between. Would love to see someone take this on in earnest.

It was cool except for all the cops lol. I think there’s a lot that can be done without deploying security cameras and hostile architecture.

Economics aside, 4-6 story midrises can make for some outstanding gentle density.

And plenty of lighting so they can skate at night.

I’m officially CPTED certified now and my official recommendation is to put skateable benches everywhere to “activate the space.”

Among many other things, even decent access to food is a neighborhood crime deterrent.

Nvm, found it but street view is quite old.

Is this a bus stop too? Can you provide a pin to its location?

I’m exploring the use of the cover plate to accommodate a curb ramp down to the street on a floating island like this. Thanks for sharing!

Great example of what I’m looking for. I wonder if the FD has complained about getting to that hydrant?

I like how wide the gutters are here. Makes it a lot easier to maintain debris.

I went to Iowa City and Des Moines this year for a day each and was weirdly impressed. I wouldn’t mind going back again for a bit longer.

We biked to hockey today almost entirely on all ages and abilities infrastructure. And then brought our bikes on the train back home because kiddo was tired after his games. This is what having good quality transportation options is all about!
Cassie takes a selfie on her bike wearing a hat and helmet. A hockey stick pokes out behind her. And on the bike path behind her is a kid wearing a helmet and coat on another bike.
