Walkable cities, academia, and hot parenting takes with statistics, mostly in NW DC/Ward 2+3. Occasionally in real urban centers like Bethesda or Arlington.

Renault sells an official baguette holder for their EVs. It cost 120 pounds. Not only will they not sell us this car, but we can't even buy OEM baguette holders in America.

Fyi, trader joes insulated bags perfectly fit inside our standard monkey bars on the cargobike. Fit one with a kid. Up to three without a kid seat.

Our daycare needs more room for bike parking. And yes there is an urban arrow out of the picture.

Always look at major injuries, not just deaths. (left-YTD2025) (right-YTD2024). Pedestrian and cyclist injuries are up in DC. Drivers/passengers are down.

I didn't see this coming, DC car deaths are significantly down YTD. Last year, we were at 25 deaths and 167 major injuries. This year, 9 deaths and 134 major injuries. Glass half empty part, major injuries are up for pedestrians and cyclists.

Why are there so many faregate jumpers at the airports on WMATA? Or is this the artifact of luggage getting stuck in the gate? Like I just don't believe that 1/10 pax at Dulles are jumping the gate; which is more that double the system average.

In better news, it is kinda crazy that Texas' power mostly comes from green energy these days.

Its always funny to bring up federal tax revenue per capita. 9/10 the top states are solid blue. The bottom is mostly red

Its funny, outside of the DC metro gov, federal workers are mostly in very red rural areas. Broadly speaking feds are in rural areas and/or near military bases (keep in mind 1/3 of feds are ex-military).

TIL: my wife’s rear ebike wheel assembly weighs more than my entire road bike does. Also, it apparently requires cutting a zip tie to remove from the bike.

As a walk/bike commuter, I do often complain about cars. But here is your regular reminder that a key to satisfaction is being able to walk or bike to work. (data from DC commuters for the regional government)

I learned from @51st.news that DC had a MASSIVE lead water crisis from 2001-2005 that nobody seems to be aware of. Does this show up in crime stats, health stats, or education stats in DC? DC's young adults may be really messed up. www.dcwater.com/resources/wa...

Hey @bikeshare.bsky.social, is there a reason there are no stations inside Georgetown’s campus? It seems like half the students just use lime bikes instead.

The deadly reversible lanes on rock creek parkway may die! The city isn't about the whims of non-resident commuters. Now not the biggest fan of cars in the city, but if we've got them, we should prioritize the needs of our residents, who may be driving to the doctor or school.

frozenchippy from twitter @fchippy.bsky.social · 18/11/2024
Hopefully we'll be flipping unprotected bike lanes to protected ones. Hell this doesn't even cost any parking! I'd love to see the city also do that on Garfield in front of the Cathedral! @gawain4anc.bsky.social

I’ve now done the times crossword for 10 years straight. Pretty much my best regular habit. Took about 5 years before I was regularly solving sat/sun. Still not a fast solver on the phone (paper seems better for that). #nytxw

Here are the car-related death rates by race in DC. A black person is 644% more likely to die than a white non-hispanic. A black person is 1575% more likely to die than an Asian. A black person is 65% more likely to die than a hispanic white. Like this isn't even close.

Crazy how quickly crime rose and fell last year and this year in DC. Imagine if they started simply pulling over every driver without tags. It'd probably collapse overnight.

fantastic piece in GGwash about how people shop in adams morgan. basically everybody walks. and cars aren't too different from bikes or transit. basically make some roads for buses and loading trucks and nothing would change. ggwash.org/view/96602/s...

Nice little email. We need more local journalism since the Washington post only really exists to downplay trump.
