“When we think about e-bike crashes and deaths related to e-bikes, the vast majority are cars and trucks killing people on e-bikes as opposed to people on e-bikes injuring somebody else”

Pike Place Market just released new sales data for Feb 2026. Looks like Jan+Feb 2026 had 11% higher sales than Jan+Feb 2025 (before the pedestrian pilot)! Congrats Seattle, you managed to find a way to shop at the market in the dead of winter without driving your cars through the middle of it.

A sharrow—a pictogram of a bicycle with two chevrons over it painted on a road.
An assortment of boost pads in racing games, which all have a chevron shape in common.
I just think that if sharrows are gonna look like that, they should give you a speed boost when you ride your bike over them.
this event supports legislation that would prevent deaths with a little regulation annaleahmary.com/2026/02/stop...
Some good news today!
SB 1167 would prohibit e-motos from being marketed and sold as e-bikes and hold manufacturers and vendors accountable.
This is critical legislation, as e-motos and e-bikes have been conflated, and without this efforts will increase to restrict e-bikes, reducing e-bike usage.
Cartoon of someone cycling on a narrow pavement on which the council have generously painted a cycle lane logo. They're really spoiling us. The cyclist is not short of exciting obstacles to navigate, what fun: potholes, brambles, a car parked on the pavement, broken glass, and the pole of a sign that reads Please use the cycle path

Maybe it can be framed as seeking consensus…
Sounds like we could have a debate! Not you and I, you and Asha…
It turns out this episode’s about studies: the autonomous vehicle metastudy showing they increase VMT, a study showing the problem with illegal E motos, MassBike’s Micromobility report, and a study about biking reducing dementia @massbike.bsky.social @bikeleague.org m.soundcloud.com/biketalk/26-...

We stop dancing around the issue and declare biking to be political, at least in the U.S... also, bike friendly universities and stylish bikes. soundcloud.com/biketalk/26-...

That is a totally great idea. Do people still make movies?
East & West coast American, Dutch, and British bike people on biking against fascism, across America, in a hostile NJ, and with cars, of course @bikeleague.org @bikeeastbay.bsky.social @urbancyclinginstitute.org m.soundcloud.com/biketalk/26-...
Congrats to Oregon, which just this past week passed HB 4007 to define (and protect access to) e-bikes and micromobility, while tackling the "e-moto" problem.
@thestreettrust.org and Oregon Micromobility Network led the charge. www.oregonmicromobility.org
NJ's new restrictions on e-bikes are raising serious concerns for riders across the state. We joined @bikejc.org on @biketalk.bsky.social to unpack what the law does, the situation that led us here, and where we go next.
Don't miss the end where we share some hopeful news on #Hoboken Vision Zero!
There is a wave of anti-ebike legislation, and it appears to have hit New Jersey first. Or hardest. @bikehoboken.org @bikejc.org @calbike.bsky.social @damiankevitt.bsky.social soundcloud.com/biketalk/26-...
