i’m a little unnerved that there is literally zero snow on the olympics, but at least kulshan looks nice!

i LOVE this closure for safer biking up capitol hill while crossing the intersection of pike/9th/express lanes. seems like a very obvious one to make permanent!

ok yeah i need to make something from moosewood soon

sure the failure of trade negotiations is bad but i think canada has another problem when the hotel complimentary breakfast does not have real maple syrup

damn ok my drivers ed failed me (maybe the instructor was an urbanist super soldier lol)

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

my understanding is that a red arrow in and of itself means no turn on red, right? like a sign might help but i think this driver is already breaking the law

i’m excited to see who runs next year! we really need big changes on city council 😭

when the times and the stranger agree on a candidate, who can really be surprised when he runs away with a landslide of votes?

and it used to go all the way to the county line! (and further south to laurelhurst, to be fair)

hey now, laurelhurst is in the 43rd! but i’m sure the people of hawthorne hills and view ridge have very similar politics lol

no worries! i bet this project was a lot of work

this is amazing! heads up you can definitely take a bike on and off at klamath falls, it is a very popular starting destination for several bikepacking routes in oregon

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with a senior city employee traveling for conferences. it shouldn’t be all the time but it is definitely an OK thing to do. the issue is all the other weekends when he’s back home in chicago

can’t wait to splat into the back of a bus in the bike lane while descending at 30mph 👍

030

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

these cars are presumably waiting to turn right on 6th and unable to due to high pedestrian traffic. sounds like that’s a turn movement that needs to be banned

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

what is the point of a bus lane if it’s so full of cars that the buses aren’t even using it?

heavy traffic in downtown seattle with eight cars in the bus lane in one block, causing a bus to use the other lane

you could spend a lifetime bike touring america’s highways through deeply republican areas and still be more likely to be killed at the hands of a driver while following all the rules on dedicated bike infrastructure in a blue city

just got home from several days bikepacking in rural oregon with no issues with drivers, but as soon as i’m home in seattle, i get called a faggot by a guy driving a lifted pickup as he cuts me off while running a stop sign across a neighborhood greenway 👍

not just narrow, but it disappears around an uphill corner with low visibility for drivers! i always use the sidewalk on this street

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

these ghost bikes are a reminder that we as people outside of cars can be doing everything right, and our lives can still be snuffed out at any random moment by a careless driver. it tells us that our city is not doing enough to build safe streets

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

alley should still be with us. christian should still be with us. maridee and liliana and jaahnavi and steve and all the people killed on our streets should still be with us

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

it’s pretty triggering and traumatizing that the safest bike route between columbia city and capitol hill takes you past two ghost bikes from the past year

yeah i mean my ideal broadway has transit and bike lanes on one side and people space on the other. i think pridefest makes the 49 and 60 detour all the way up to 12th, which… yikes

broadway still bumping an hour after pridefest’s official closure. can we do this every weekend? or just permanently?

took this picture at the SLU weekend market ready to bitch about shutting down the only street in the neighborhood with a protected bike lane, and then two blocks later discovered a much larger market on 6th ave which they are planning to fully move to after this year!

i literally learned who that woman was yesterday from a sticker on a bike rack outside matador that said “renee erickson is a disgrace to seattle”

new york is 87% islands so uhhh i don’t think that bodies of water are a good excuse for bad urbanism. it’s also just as glacially formed with a good number of hills (the lenape called their home manahatta, the island of many hills)

one could say the same thing about new york, which is just as, if not more, geographically constrained. they figured it out, why can’t we?

this seems far worse than the original sounder bike racks, which are my favorite transit bike racks (aside from maybe the ones inside swift and g-line buses)

max k @jmkauff.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

and now that 15th has bus lanes i see no reason that the ave should still have buses on it
