The motorist community needs to clean up its act, especially if drivers expect taxpayers to keep building car lanes.

City centers should not be a drive through, they should act as a shared living room.

Cities everywhere are discussing the dangers of ebikes in cities and passing swift legislation to tightly control them. Meanwhile:

It really sucks that killing someone is basically legal in this country if you do it with your car
A Virginia driver who struck and killed a pedestrian less than three months ago had his case dismissed Thursday after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor and completing 20 hours of community service.
On June 18, the driver of a Prius jumped the curb of a Leesburg Pike service road near Seven Corners and fatally hit 38-year-old Sean King.

When they tell you that walkability and public transit can't work here, just remind them that it once did until we let a single industry dismantle it.

Tesla's defective self-driving software will still illegally blow past a stopped school bus and run down a child crossing the road! We warned Tesla of this danger 4 years ago and the safety defect hasn't been fixed in FSD v14 Lite. Why is this product allowed on public roads?

Please learn the difference between ebikes and emotos. They are two different things.

E-motos can be dangerous, but legal ebikes are not.

Data centers and flock cameras everywhere, but if you want to remove car parking to add a bike lane in a city, we need 10 years of studies and community feedback meetings.

Helmets are often misinterpreted as the solution to safety. Put simply, they aren't. Helmets protect your head from an uncontrolled fall. Proper infrastructure is what protects you from multi-ton vehicles. Don't conflate the two, they are worlds apart.

Have you ever tried taking the lane in front of a motorist? Many people are not willing to take their life into their hands to do that.

Flip the script so that what's extreme is requiring people to buy a $50,000, dinosaur-juice-burning, 6000-lb machine to take the kids to school or get a gallon of milk... ...while riding a $5,000, 70-lb bike powered by a combo of a trickle of electricity and your own two legs is just normal.

There's a Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank at the front. They're probably both diesel generators.

There are zero "anti-car activists" (the term being thrown around today) who believe that vital services such as emergency response and sanitation shouldn't be done with vehicles. The issue is personal automobile ownership and the over-deployment of cars at the expense of nearly everything else.

Your Harley goes much faster than a legal e-bike does, which makes it significantly more dangerous.

Yes, they do. That looks like a Tern GSD Gen 2, so the weight limit of the rear rack is 200 lbs.

Well, you see, bike lanes are an attempt to create "equity" in transportation, which will, of course, oppress those poor beleaguered drivers. Also, let's not forget all the auto industry donors to Duffy's road trip. He's gotta help out his friends!

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

“If you care about the bottom line, budgets & taxes, then you should care about urban biking, because it’s a money saver. It’s ironic when so-called fiscal conservatives attack biking, when their efforts just show a lack of understanding of math.” My interview with @modacitylife.com #CityMakingMath

The resulting benefits of a ‘car-less’ household are myriad, but few are as quantifiable as the money most people sink into a depreciating asset that sits unused for 95% of the time.
