Reducing road safety to data about victims blinds us from larger systemic causes. This severely limits our thinking about effective solutions. The only way forward begins with knowing WHO KILLS WHO. Look for the #CollissionMatrix.

Speeding doesn't actually save you meaningful time. All it really accomplishes is aggressively increasing the chances that you kill yourself or someone else outside your vehicle. It's a mathematically flawed, entirely selfish risk.

Never stops hitting me the way everyone in mainstream discourse agrees that if we want to help people, we first have to convince Republicans, while everyone in mainstream discourse also agrees that Republicans do not have to convince any of us before they hurt people.

i don't think we spend enough imagining how quiet and idyllic life would be if we flipped the ratio of bike/transit : car infrastructure.

Got a 10-foot section of 4” PVC home by bike. Started with it on the right but quickly shifted it to the left so I could shift and use rear brakes. #carryshitolympics

Having 65 closed down for months with relatively minor impacts shows that we don’t need downtown highways completely ruining our riverfront and destroying our city.

I did bike lane cleanup by bike today! The gravel spill in the Seneca lane had bothered me for too long, so I decided to clean it up. Only took about 40 minutes and 5 trips to the gravel parking nearby to spread out the debris. Before/after 👇
An ebike with a trailer attached, in the trailer are 2 buckets full of gravel. A bike lane with lots of gravel spilled into it. This is the “before” shot.A cleaned up bike lane. This is the “after” shot.

The recent hysteria over bike and ebike regulation is infuriating, dumb, and counter-productive.

Since April, I have exclusively charged my ebike and lawn tool batteries with a single portable 100w solar panel hooked into a 1kw backup battery. I only put it out on nice sunny days and it has been enough to entirely power my yard maint and a significant % of my transportation for months.

It’s unsurprising but shameful nonetheless that Sen. McConnell’s office won’t tell his own constituents what is happening. He’s leaving office, and this life, the way he lived it. As a disappointment.

You can put as many Class 3 bike routes, or gutter/door Class 2 bike lanes (see below) as "existing bicycle facilities" on your map as you want. Normal people who *do not want to die* will look at real world version of the city and say, "fuck no."

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

I love how Google spotlights these AI results that put up blatantly bad math.
A google search result for “how fast to run a 1:05 quarter mile” that has an AI search result with blatantly bad math. It claims you have to run at a 3:51 mile pace in order to achieve a 1:05 quarter mile. If you ran a 3:51 mile then each quarter mile would average under 58 seconds.

Not every hardware trip needs a trailer (or a car/truck). Most of the time, a milk crate or pannier can handle the job quite nicely! If only they would install bike racks so I wouldn’t have to lock to a tree. @thewaroncars.bsky.social
A bike locked to a tree. The bike has a basket on the back filed with a can of paint and other miscellaneous supplies from a hardware store. The basket has stickers for Streets for People, The War on Cars, and Olmsted Parks Conservancy on it.
