TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Wilson through RWood Manor/Gardens is an absolute 💩 show of aggressive drivers cutting through and families on bikes & foot trying to get to school/work. how do we make this busy corridor safer for non 🚗 users? @andrefor40th.bsky.social @aldermanmattmartin.bsky.social @ward33chicago.bsky.social 071
TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 28/09/2026the passillogical need for drivers to “get in front” of a cyclist no matter the situation is maddening crossing the L tracks at Rockwell is a crazy space where cars routinely cross the double line to pass me or others to get to a 🛑 then another 🛑 kept pace with driver all the way to my street 2100
TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 28/09/2026it is alarming how red lights are being ignored are reds the new 🛑 amazing how sensible cycling laws like Idaho Stop can’t be implemented because drivers are so accustomed to the California Roll better to ban bikes than demand drivers live up to the contract with the DMV and society 0234

TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 23/09/2026“I’m told to drive like this” Amazon driver in bike lane well i lost… “she killed her self, stupid bitch didn’t wait her turn or go around when it was safe” why did bikes have to wait their turn but drivers don’t have to wait for a legal spot? 6220
TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 23/09/2026something about being on a bike in an urban space zipping by drivers stuck in traffic passed Waters drop off traffic, zipped down LFT while drivers crawled down DLSD it almost feels as if you are cheating, is that why drivers don’t like bikes? 190
TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 22/09/2026absolutely terrible move, in process, so bad we can’t stop laughing surprise bonus… no internet service yet but not having TV and other distractions (outside of phone) has been great going to miss the space we shared with Lily but the catastrophe has made the break less traumatic 020

TGS @lilybeansdad.bsky.social · 20/09/2026we can’t afford to not build transit efficiency, bike/ped safety infrastructure these concerned drivers all for safe streets, but not at our/city expense or the ones who equate bikes to cars & demand we all abide by laws ascribed to cars we need to decouple bikes from cars in the 👁️ of the law 0103
