MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 22/08/2026So I did the deed and got a golf cart (for many, many reasons). And honestly, it's one of the coolest little transportation devices around. The way drivers treat & respect a 25 mph speed-limited golf cart vs a 25 mph speed-limited eBike is mind-blowing. 2616
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 13/10/2025SD’s potential SB79 glow up assuming these 215, 235, 7, & 10 stops qualify under § 21060.2(a)(1). FYI: I don't think the 225 meets peak frequency?

MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 15/03/2025About five families enjoying this small park in LA near the river trail. Not a single one arrived by car. 060
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Finally had the pleasure of trying out this “bike rack” my fork couldn’t even fit through the slats. 🤦♀️ 240
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Happy Birthday 1st Birthday to my Cheese, Shai-Hulud, Little Shit, and Chestnut. 120
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Multiple drivers failed to yield to these kids waiting to cross even after they activated the the RRFB. The speeds on 30th Street are too damn high! 2142
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/202414.) I was expecting to see more use of quick build materials considering the rapid implementation of the biking network, but every single separated bike lane I saw was separated with a simple granite curb. 120
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/202411.) Massive separated bike lanes / shared spaces created by removing lanes or whole traffic directions from boulevards 100
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/202410.) Use of thermoplastic striping on top of curbs rather than paint to quickly and cheaply mark new loading zones 100
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20248.) Smol taxies, smol maintenance bois, smol emergency vehicles 110
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20247.) Quick build sidewalk widening used fencing or bollards to delineate space. The hodgepodge of materials felt as if they just used whatever they had on hand and didn’t overthink it. 111
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20245.) The only protected intersection I found. They used bike symbols instead of the typical North American conflict striping to indicate the bike pathway through the intersection 110
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20244.) Bike parking was prolific and on every. single. block. The only long term parking I observed was at the HSR station and was clearly not enough to meet demand. 120
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20243.) Delivery/drop-off zones are surprisingly narrow (guessing around 7-8 feet) with enough space for about 2 vehicles. They are FREQUENT, found both on most residential blocks and larger boulevards. The sidewalk is narrowed at these zones to give just enough passing space for other vehicles. 120
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/20242.) A majority of residential streets are slow streets. Many only allowed only one-way travel for vehicular traffic but often marked to permit bidirectional bike traffic. Some streets closed to vehicular traffic used bollards but many were simply marked with three stop-bars and a symbol. 120
MTBorq @mtborq.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Just got back from Paris, some observations, Part 1: 1.) Raised bike lanes were frequently one-way and fairly narrow—about 4-5ish feet or so—despite large bike volumes. They were separated from pedestrian zones by a granite edge (with or without a lip) and thermoplastic stripes. 2141
