We are not prepared for the silver tsunami of Baby Boomers reaching 80 and accidentally stomping on the gas.

@Zach_Goulding @RyanQualtrics @utahmammoth I can’t wait to highlight the Bike Bus and check out a @utahmammoth game!!
English
Hey @RyanQualtrics! @CoachBalto is going to ride in our Cascade Elementary Bike Bus in Orem. We are the biggest Bike Bus in Utah! He wants to check out a @utahmammoth game on 3/26. We already have tickets but wanted to ask if you could upgrade them?

@bscholl @denversmayor What about dynamic pricing first? You won’t even need to add the extra lane.
English
Hey @denversmayor, congestion to DEN airport keeps getting worse. But we can fix it.
Let’s add a third lane to Pena Blvd and make it a smart dynamically priced toll lane. Here’s how:
- increase speed limit to 75
- lane is free unless average speed of traffic <75
- then ramp tolls automatically to maintain express lane speed of 75
The lane will more than pay for itself. I’m in to help you do this and make it a model for the nation if you’re up for it.

I didn’t know what to expect when the Daily Show told us our clip was airing this week. We saw it for the first time live and we never met or knew about Katie. Not surprised she stole the show youtu.be/cu6ozB7mKDQ?si…

@CoachBalto It was cool that she called out the Bike Bus at her concert too.

I love it every time my friend @CoachBalto lands another celebrity collab. It just spreads the message that we can have kid-friendly cities.

Thing 1:
When driving onto a side street, always yield to people going straight. It has to be said because US drivers are terrible at following this rule.
Thing 2:
We're still in a phase of using the wrong terms, and language matters. This guy was riding his electric motorcycle at 40MPH on a sidewalk. The driver was already making his turn when the motorcycle tried to zip in front of him.
Calling these things e-bikes leads to all sorts of distorted impressions about electric bicycles.

Who the heck has the right of way in this situation? I live out in the country so my head automatically goes to the vehicle having the right of way. As fast as this e-bike is going it should have just been on the road & treated as a motorcycle.

@berkie1 I’ve been wanting to make a video series about how Boston movie car chase scenes aren’t accurate. Like in this movie they say “close the bridge” right as the robbers turn on Commercial st in front of the hockey rink and 5 minutes later they drive over the bridge.

I watched them film this scene. The McDonald's that Jeremy Renner's character died in front of is now 322 units of housing.
Best Movie Moments 🍿@BestMovieMom
During the filming of The Town (2010) real Boston police officers were used as extras. Affleck wanted the tactical movements of the SWAT teams to be perfect so he had actual law enforcement lead the choreography for the Fenway Park shootout.

The path to great local schools:
1) build family-supportive density around local schools (urbanizing the middle class families who want to live in the city if there is suitable housing, and who will vote for sensible school board representatives)
2) focusing on academic standards and "choice" at the level of the school, not the district. That is, every local school should have an accelerated program for high-performing students. Parents expect tracking and will move kids to magnet or private schools if local schools don't offer it.

When parents stop treating kids like packages, kids learn to get around independently.

The American mind cannot comprehend this level of childhood independence. Hope it inspires you!
