Why do US bike lanes (inc. protected ones) end at intersections - where protection is most needed? Without reliable and robust safety infrastructure, a bike lane will prioritize cars. Published a decade ago by @BicycleDutch more: bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/sta… youtu.be/XpQMgbDJPok

@pedalmeapp Curious how often your bikes are stolen and what efforts have been made to mitigate? And what kind of person steals a cargo bike

*Stolen bike* We are currently hunting *Nemo* which was last seen in W3 at 0400 this morning - we have a track record of nearly 100% recovery of stolen bikes so keen not to let that slip! Please keep your eyes peeled for us! Bike likely stripped of branding by this point:

I love riding through the park where I obviously would never have to worry about a driver coming across the grass to hit me.

Michigan: Automatic/Autonomous cars from Detroit to Ann Arbor is a must!! Automatic traffic camera law enforcement is illegal Seems like we’re extremely biased for cars

People react to incentives, so incentivize people to drive safely. e.g. You'll save $100 every time you drive under the speed limit.

@but_cyclists Should have to take a driving test every time you get a new pair of shoes

Cyclists should be made to pass a test of competency before riding a bicycle

"I can't resist it!" That's Dutch King Willem-Alexander putting a Van Raam cargo trike through its paces with 92 year old passenger Ida de Rooij. He was visiting Zonnebloem, an organisation that supports adults with physical disabilities. More ⏩ vanraam.com/en-gb/news/dut… /1

Hundreds of miles of Jersey Barriers along a highway highway extension, and none available to form a safer separate bicycle lane

Our urban canyons should be for happy hours, not car sewers

Paris is making great strides in pedestrianization and bike infrastructure! Though recent, the results are already impressive. Modal share in inner Paris (2024): 53.4% walking 🚶↗️ 30% public transit 🚇↗️ 11.2% biking 🚲↗️ Only 4.2% driving 🚗↘️ And you, is your city changing?

@DetroitGreenway @CityofDetroit @USDOT We’re KILLING IT!

Today I learned about an actual scientific method/ish applied to highway design! Conclusions were disappointing but did note that variable speed limit signs aren’t respected. static.tti.tamu.edu/tti.tamu.edu/d…

@PaulTheUrbanist @detroitdevdoc And why was it removed? We need a history lesson

@detroitdevdoc The lodge was one of the first freeways to be outfitted with cameras and a traffic control center! you can see the panel off to the right for variable speed signs over each lane that were meant to regulate traffic flow during rush hour

This week’s Economist cover story is brought to you by US automakers and regulators, both of whom have been ignoring car bloat for decades.

Everyone having a gun isn’t called safety, it’s called war

In two weeks, Miami school bus cameras cited 11,500 drivers in the first two weeks of school for not stopping, raising around 2 million dollars in fines. Imagine what we’re missing by turning our back in Michigan. Read more at: #storylink" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…

London is ridiculously safe by American standards.

Only in Hamtramck can you hear the Islamic Call to Prayer while sitting at the Pope John Paul statue watching a Bangla performance in the back of a pickup truck pass by as part of the Labor Day parade

@cyclesixmile I am okay with Humvees being used as mobile bollards for parades haha. Would prefer golf carts and bikes for actually patrolling the area! Honestly hamtramck is so small they should have an all-bicycle police force

No one: Hamtramck Police Reserves:

Would love to see @EasternMarket care about bike parking as much as it cares about car parking. Overflowing on a Sunday.

@DE_Gifford COSI! Great place, I didn’t appreciate that section until I was an adult

This is actually the correct width for a city street.
