I’d say that was a pretty successful trip for ice cream! Thanks to @mayorwu.boston.gov for coming out to join us on Monday. Thank you for talking with us and hearing our stories. I hope you enjoyed our Allston Brighton bike community!

I lead a bike ride every Monday evening in the summer where we go get ice cream. All ages and abilities welcome. We leave from Landry’s Boston. Tomorrow we’re rolling out at 6:30 to accommodate a special guest. If you’re down for community or down for ice cream, this would be a good one to attend 👀

Walking downtown, Tremont St bike lane: witnessed one van parked in bike lane with a ticket on the dash! One Jeep parked behind idling. BPD drives by, no response 🤦‍♀️ Third vehicle parked farther up, BTD honks and gets them to move! No ticket tho 🤦‍♀️ A mixed bag RE enforcement…

Lil bit of hope that the Mayor is working on making things safer in Boston. This is the first action I've seen to back up the words we're hearing. Not the whole lane, but I'm happy to have some protection back around the Public Garden (especially they corners)

So drivers *can* be charged with murdering people with their vehicles? Please continue to charge drivers for their crimes. There’s a lot of dead pedestrians and bikers waiting for justice in this city

I’ve lead many Ice Cream Rides, but never had an impromptu meetup with @mayorwu.boston.gov !! Thank you for extending your day a little bit to listen to our concerns and share what progress is being made to increase safety for vulnerable road users

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

This one hits close to home. Boston needs to be better and make roads safer for all vulnerable road users. I’m incensed. I’m sad, and also incandescent with rage over yet another preventable death on Boston’s streets

I am becoming convinced that autonomous vehicles are designed to solve the problem of "I live in a wealthy suburb but have a horrible car commute and don't want to drive anymore but also hate trains and buses and refuse to ride a bike."

Hey, man—I just wanted to let you know that we're all pulling for you. We know it's tough, but we all believe in you and know that one of these days, you'll finally figure this whole "turn signal" thing out. All of us are praying for you and have faith that you'll learn how to drive eventually.

Just remembered this flowchart I made many years ago for Twitter. Still very relevant to BlueSky.
Start:
"I want to reply to this!"

First decision:
Is it an opinion?

Yes → Do you know them?

No → "Why would somebody who doesn’t know you care what you think?" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Are you a recognized expert?

No → "Why would somebody who doesn’t know you care what you think?" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Will knowing this be useful to them?

No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Say the thing!

No → Is it a fact?

No → Is it a joke?

Yes → Is it funny?

No → "Laugh quietly at your inner thoughts" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Who will they think it’s funny at?

Them → "Don’t be a douche" → Do not say the thing

It’s unknown → Is it a question?

Yes → Could you Google for the answer?

Yes → "Turns out there are stupid questions" → Do not say the thing

No → Are they likely to know the answer?

No → "Turns out there are stupid questions" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Will they be happy to hear this?

No → "Don’t be a douche" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Say the thing!

No → "Laugh quietly at your inner thoughts" → Do not say the thing

No → Can you prove it’s true?

No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Will knowing this be useful to them?

No → "Don’t give people useless information" → Do not say the thing

Yes → Say the thing!

End states:

Green circle: Say the thing!

Red circle: Do not say the thing

Do It Yourself Revolution is a platform and movement that designs beautiful 3D printed objects (like fans, speakers, lamps), that you can then 3D print at home (or in a fablab) yourself. They want to challenge mass production with nicely simple objects. And I love their large fan! diyr.dev/
Three minimalist, abstract lamp designs on dark and neutral backdrops
Some text at the top text reads: DIYR (pronounced dear), celebrates independence and creativity. Below, it explains DIYR stands for Do It Yourself Revolution

There was the news seller all shaven and shorn, a harried, married man all tattered and torn, a once-kissed maiden now sadly forlorn, as the rider passed by on a day newly born, and each was tooted with a dandy #bicycle horn. Once upon a time, there were grand selections for the trusty steel steed.

I’ll grimace at each car I pass on my bike in my 100-degree commute home for radiating even more heat with the ~3,000 tiny controlled explosions per minute required to move them.
