Reading "Life After Cars" and was blown away by this fact. A light rail station being added to a rural area in Japan reduced health care costs in that community to the tune of $600 per person per year!! 🤯

I saw a guy riding his bike down Melrose in Lakeview today typing on his laptop? Which was propped up on his handlebars? And he was also on the phone?

Is it Amsterdam? Copenhagen? No, it's Paris! After years of investment, the French capital has one of the best problems a city can have: bicycle congestion. So if Paris has done it, why wouldn't other cities follow? 📸 Such an amazing photo by @jbpssx.bsky.social

#FabricofAmerica exhibit had a small display on practicality in fashion. Fashion relies on form & function as much as its style. People's needs move certain trends forward, as with this 1900 cycling outfit. Women began wearing bifurcated garments in earnest in order to ride bikes. #Fashionhistory

The comments on any post or story about bikes or bike lanes are inevitably about how cyclists don’t follow the law, & then they show their ignorance of the law w/comments like “get on the sidewalk!” (illegal in Chicago for adults), “you’re riding the wrong way” (they’re in a contra flow lane), etc.

It's always funny when people talk about cars being "regulated" because we know that massive amounts of death and injury still occur and also, there is so much more we could do to regulate cars yet if you propose those things you're called a fascist

In the last 10 days or so I was almost hit no less than FOUR times after waiting my turn to go through a four-way stop-sign intersection. In each case a car barreled through the intersection and I only avoided being hit because, you know, I expect that kind of thing. 1/x

Riding down Clybourn, it sure is a real mystery why sales tax revenue declined here and vacancies grew, per the CDOT study. It must be the bike lanes! It couldn't possibly be the characterless suburban strip mall architecture along this corridor. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/23/c...
