Reposted by Leeann A.Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026As a society, the United States has decided that the ability of drivers to go wherever they want as fast as they want is the priority, at the expense of the safety and mobility of children. If you suggest this is somehow wrong, you are ridiculed and told that drivers are more important. 39920

Reposted by Leeann A.Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There is this fallacy that the cyclists getting killed by drivers are running red lights and doing wheelies in the middle of the lane, when the reality is that cyclists get doored or right hooked.

Reposted by Leeann A.Gravel Influencer @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The mobility of children is simply not taken seriously or viewed as important.
