Another example of why there’s no “agree to disagree” on the fundamental dignity of people. Unless the social penalties for being a bigot are massive it will just keep getting worse.

Yep the bike lane is the rational and reasonable place to put a traffic control sign for drivers. @mayorq.bsky.social can we take action against these contractors who fail to consider any other users except for drivers when placing signs? These are a danger & hindrance to everyone not in a car.

Hi friends: I haven't written an article in three months. Here's why, and how my experience as a caregiver to a person I love with a disabling, terminal illness upended most of what I think about car dependency and transportation reform.

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

Flexpost cosplaying as bollard. Safety is an illusion.

on the left: two way vehicular traffic. on the right: a two way cycle track. in between: a poured concrete curb topped with a "bollard" which is actually hollow plastic and has been toppled over revealing the scrawny bolt straining to keep it from blowing away in the breeze

Just outside the front door of a bicycle shop, a Clydesdale titanium frame gravel bike leans against a bollard. It's wearing new tires labeled "Maxxis Aspen 32x2.40". Not a typo: these are 32" wheels! Just behind the bike is a sandwich board that reads "Put the Fun Between Your Legs! @cyclecitykc"
