This severely limits our thinking about effective solutions. The only way forward begins with knowing WHO KILLS WHO. Look for the #CollissionMatrix. 13011

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. 1014648

Matt Stone (not that one) @stonz2.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I had this thought recently- not only does maintenance prioritize car lanes, but also the cars are so violent that they tend to “prune” vegetation growing into their lanes, BUT ALSO their high-speed tires “sweep” a lot of their debris into bike lanes and sidewalks. 000

Matt Stone (not that one) @stonz2.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I have a Trek ebike, the Verve+ 3, and I’ve been pretty happy with it. Would suggest a step-through frame regardless of what you get.

Matt Stone (not that one) @stonz2.bsky.social · 22/07/2026If it were a governor’s appointment, absolutely I agree he should be moving heavens and earth to make them prove Mitch is still with us.

Matt Stone (not that one) @stonz2.bsky.social · 22/07/2026But why would he want the special election? What does the Democratic Party gain by (most likely) having a new GOP senator in Mitch’s place? 150
