I find people being locked out of the stuff *they physically own* and forced into an overpriced tech ecosystem to be offensive, honestly.

Embarrassing that the stupid republican villages were one of the first places to adopt mass golf cart transportation. They use so much less energy to get around than the people in PT who lease a brand new rav4 every fucking year. U.S. urbanism feels like a masturbatorium of motion for action.

a lot of us are safe streets advocates, because we have had people close to us die senselessly because of our car centric transportation system. so no, we won't find another hill

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

If designed inclusively, cycling infrastructure offers independent mobility to those with physical impairments who are left behind by car dependence. For many people housebound or reliant on others for transport, two—or three—wheeled travel isn’t just a form of movement, it’s a form of empowerment.

We literally have data showing that cars -- especially large trucks and SUVs-- *are* inherently deadly because of their design. I have no patience for this.
No I’m here to tell you that anybody improperly operating a vehicle of any kind on a road poses a threat to everyone around them. We don’t operate our vehicles in isolation. And pretending one is inherently deadly, and the other merely an inconvenience is just obviously disingenuous.

Ebikes are not just bikes with a motor and battery. They are a new form of transportation “Our results reject nesting electric with conventional bicycles, underscoring their distinct characteristics and minimal shared unobserved attributes”

Photo of a woman and two men on a tandem tricycle with a piano mounted on the front end. The woman is sitting on the piano and the men are resting astride the bike. It’s from an episode of The New Steve Allen Show called Campus U.S.A., which aired December 27, 1961.

At first we just smiled when we’d see each other. Then said hello. Then started riding side by side for a few mins with some small talk. And after a few weeks we got to know each other & became friends! I have never made a friend on a car commute. Bikes build community. 2/2

You always risk something when you monetize something you love. For me I haven’t gone on a proper bikepacking trip since I started this business because of the seasonal overlap. Very much miss biking for adventure.

So cool never having to go to the gas station to fill big tanks, then a bunch of little tanks mixed with oil, then spill a bunch when you go to fill the even smaller tanks on tools. - None of that with an all battery workflow! 🔋

I'd rather see wind farms spring up, than watch the landscapes everyone is passionate about die because we didn't save them - because we were so keen on keeping them pretty. These places aren't just a vista. They are a fragile living cloak upon the land. They will not survive climate change.

Anytime you post about the difficulties car culture & absence of alternatives creates for people who don't or can't drive (who are disproportionately poor &/ disabled), you get drivers - many of whom consider themselves progressives or leftists - replying to deflect, dismiss or demand to be coddled.

NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.

Don’t tell me this isn’t culture war posturing. It was a minuscule amount of tax revenue and makes no sense from a budget standpoint (in fact, studies show people who commute by bike save society money), and is done solely to poke a sharp stick in the eye of people who bike for transportation.

Transit officials have said e-bikes account for less than 4% of traffic injuries in the city.” A policy that targets 4% instead of 96% is glaringly disproportionate. Drivers cause the most deaths, injuries, and destruction. Ask yourself why your insurance premiums are so high!
