Divverter Dyke @fulllanefemme.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Speed is a big part of why I actively avoid taking the bus. I can travel twice as fast on my e-bike. Trust me, riders care about speed. If they notice one route saves them 15-20 minutes due to a dedicated lane and signal priority they will rightly want it on other routes. 3372
