If you’re cycling or driving in Spain (including the Canary Islands) any time soon, you’ll need to get up to speed with a series of updates to the country’s General Traffic Regulations which will come into effect from October 1...

Ride in the centre of the lane and always wear a helmet – Spain has new cycling rules coming later this week
Stay informed about Spanish cycling laws. Learn about new helmet requirements and lane positioning for safer rides.

This tool from @observingthecity.ca is fantastic. It shows the traffic mode share by intersection using City data. Many downtown areas are dominated by pedestrians (in green). Yet *we still give most of the space to cars on almost every street.* www.observingthecity.ca/intersection...

Is NYC planning to sabotage bike lanes by adding yet more hostile obstructions ? Requires an edit at least from "on bike lane" to "on bike route".
Traffic calming devices to be jammed into bike lane, intentionally ? Bike lane cut in half.Curb extension trumps bile lane.Posts are neither beside the bike lane nor between bike lanes, but in bike lanes.   Why ?

Beautiful day to enjoy the UNGA #bikeNYC bike lane adjustments on 1st Ave (Tunnel only, surface street is closed), and 2nd Ave (bike lane is shifted one lane further from the curb. Creating multi-block no-stopping zones makes the bike lanes more pleasant.

Back in July, there was a report that got a lot of attention on BlueSky that Waymo was more dangerous than NYC for-hire vehicles. The analysis turned out to be wrong and the updated report finds they are much safer. Good that they updated with new data, though www.openplans.org/how-for-hire...

I also worry about thieves and vandals stripping bicycle parts, especially easy to remove rechargeable electronics (lights, computer, camera, bags of shopping from prior stops on ). Such theft risk makes clunky bike-share bikes relatively more attractive for short faire des courses trips.

Yes, @fern emphasizes authorship and method. A video essay is expertise doing the old work of rhetoric: gathering evidence, weighing and marshalling it into a claim a listener could test. AI slop is statistical adjacency in that same costume. Nearby sentences are not a constructed argument. 1/3

New York City is not a sundown town because it shuts down its summer streets more than 5 hours before darkness, before even the Hour of the Monkey (Saru no koku) or Asr call to afternoon Islamic prayer, Hora Nona, La Merienda siesta, or Vaikal. So, well done Solano, California.

Stopping or slowing a vehicle should harvest energy and charge its battery via regenerative braking (instead of conventional friction braking), which is why electric or hybrid cars are favoured as city taxis.
