“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.

The new trail specifically makes it safer for people crossing the east side of the bridge to reach those destinations. The new 1/3 mile section connects to the already existing path connected to the parking lot on the west side of the bridge, which I covered here: youtu.be/JsmvuNtXh-o

There's a brand new trail in the hills between San Mateo and Half Moon Bay, CA. I stepped out in front of the camera for the first time to check it out and after 24 hours it's already my number 4 most viewed video. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/SlyufTgk1CI

City Nerd argued that Seattle was in the top tier of host cities and I can say the vibe was significantly better than LA and SF. The whole area from Pike to Pioneer Square to the 'Seattle Stadium' was lit. This is urbanism done right, especially for the US. @nerd4cities.bsky.social

On the way back I recorded a hidden path that parallels the trail and I left the sound on (as much as I could due to music rights) as I went back up to the Elliott Bay Trail. Click this one if you don't want to hear me yap. youtu.be/Gldx5xVYVCI

This summer I got to visit family in Seattle while the USMNT was competing in the World Cup and got to see the new bike lanes and promenade along Alaskan Way and the waterfront. Sure looks different than our visit in 2019! Take a look up close! youtu.be/yjrFB_roZn4

Alameda, Ca expanded its protected bike lane network with new additions to the Cross Alameda Trail and a Bay Trail gap closure connecting three schools. Each also came with traffic circles that replaced complicated and unsafe stoplight intersections. Message me if you’d like a local’s tour.

This is a great accomplishment from Emeryville. To me, this is a reminder that you can make big, important, and outsized changes at the local level. When you elect leaders like mayor @johnbauters.bsky.social and are guided by @bikeeastbay.bsky.social you can save your neighbors' lives.

That’s bananas. Emeryville should be ranked much higher. Alameda gets ranked low, I believe, because it counts the navy base runways that are off limits as part of the city.

The GOP has long treated transit like a culture war issue, much like climate change, abortion, or LGBT rights. But Dems don't get this for some reason and keep trying to find bipartisan compromise on transportation issues.

This trail is part of my daily commute. The Cross Alameda Trail is an absolute delight, an important connection from Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood to the Alameda Seaplane Ferry Terminal. Give it a listen and then go for a ride.

Of the 12 Walnut Creek fatalities, 8 occurred on just one road: Ygnacio Valley. Advocates who have been fighting for solutions to this crisis for many years can not take your legislation seriously when there is no action on the PRIMARY traffic safety issues in your district, all involving CARS.

Did you miss the Pretti Good San Francisco ride? Want to re-live it? Here is (nearly) the full ride from the ferry building to Sunset Dunes, past the Golden Gate Bridge, and back along the Marina and Embarcadero. It was a spectacularly beautiful day to honor Alex Pretti & Renee Good.
