Lemme introduce you to my chariot, which moves 1 million butts per day.

The "freedom to drive" actually means having zero choice. You are forced to buy, maintain, insure, fuel, and store a depreciating asset on repeat forever.

True mobility freedom is having safe, efficient, accessible alternatives, not surrendering your financial independence to car dependency.

The US Spends More Time and Money Building Transit Than Most Countries. Inefficient Community Engagement May Help Explain Why. Public participation remains essential, and policymakers can take steps to ensure engagement processes reflect the entire community’s needs without increasin…

Transit construction costs in the US keep rising, and projects keep taking longer and longer to build.

One possible explanation? Ineffective, inefficient community engagement processes, we argue @urbaninstitute.bsky.social ⏬

They are talking like traffic engineers haven't been trying - and failing - to fix traffic congestion for the last 70+ years

It's the wrong question to ask

And a good part of the reason we're in the mess that we're in

NYC study shows men are 2.6x more likely than women to bike to work. When protected bike lane coverage is high, women’s cycling rates rise significantly faster than men’s.

When protected lanes are limited or fragmented, women’s participation drops sharply.

Good bike investments give women choices.

Spring is in the air (and no, you don’t feel it from inside a car)!

I have that one!

And last but not least, our entry in the "most creative setup" category: the cargo bike train. @bikefun.bsky.social #nashvillebicyclefestival

i dont understand, 2 days ago i was told there was a deal, i was told it was over and we got everything we wanted, i was told the strait would never be closed again, i was told all this just as markets were hitting their stride on friday afternoon

I moved into a condo last week and *love* the quiet from the 5 1/2” cement walls between units. I barely hear anyone else. They did it right in 1958 apparently.

Khanna: "You have the pope lecturing America about possible war crimes. You have the president threatening to destroy all power plants. What have we achieved? We've created devastation."

Mike Waltz has a freudian slip and calls Operation Epic Fury "Operation Economic Fury"

I was biking in a very different part of the Denver region the other day - one that if you look at the background clearly isn't meant for biking - but I came across this amazing sticker decorating the beg button...

I pity the fool that gets stuck in that car-centered death trap.

Watching Maya driving her car down one of our roads coming in the opposite direction I kept my eye on her because I swear not only wasn't she watching but she was on her phone. See how that works?

Just a friendly reminder it was 77° yesterday and it’s gonna be 80° on Tuesday

We are denying our kids a life I took from granted when I was a kid...

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Hi-speed chases in cities are no different than blindly firing a gun into a crowd.
