Touche!

Dozens of pinkish cones of lilac flowers blooming. A chain link fence is visible in front. A tall brick building is behind.

You can't smell the lilacs blooming from your car.

There are a handful of bushes we walk past for school stop off. It's nice to watch spring arrive.

A 7yo child struggles to lock up her bike to a comb rack. The bike is parallel to the rack as if it were a fence. Another 4yo gazes at her over his shoulder, thinking, "who designed this crap?"

Comb is even worse!

I can't get between the wall and the end. :(

It would have to be wide enough to accommodate moon shaped handlebars. It just put in 4 staples.

The moral panic around ebikes is to the distract from the constant death and carnage drivers are allowed to get away with.

In honor of #BikeSky returning to service, I share today’s clips of the service LaneSaber can bring to your bike.

Look how well these trucks on a narrow country road behave. The first truck revved their engine in annoyance but he was 3ft over so 🤷‍♂️

HumboldtTown Safe Streets tour with @nwnachicago.org @bikegridnow.org & Safer Grand yesterday. A great turnout & fun ride. #Chicago

The streetblogsux guy jumps at every opportunity to tell people that this is an "anti-bike lane group."

Looking forward to your report!

Looking forward to checking out the bike safety event and Archer Avenue bike lane tours tomorrow 4/18 at Palace Hall Banquets. We will be riding over from Bridgeport Coffee at 9:30am if anyone wants to join us.

I was teaching my kid what head banging is and I think I gave myself whiplash.

I'm not terribly bothered by it. I think people deserve more space in general. I think we all owe each other some grace.

There's nothing like an actual hot stove moment with a four-year-old.

Don't ride a bike like you're a car driver.

Slow down/stop for pedestrians, even when they don't hear your bell because their wearing headphones, or are hearing impaired, or their drunk, or children.

Be a neighbor, not a jagoff

Sure but the cyclist can also stop/slow down to miss them. It's a bicycle, not a semi.

Sounds bad. I hope they don't spread this way. I haven't followed the issue too closely but did see they broke some bus shelters. I wonder if it's worth proactively racing out to my alder.

We don't really have them in Bridgeport that I've seen. I did see one in west town and was surprised at how big it was

Are they worse than delivery drivers?
