Oh my

Four years ago Portland, OR reduced the speed limit on residential streets to 20 mph -- and driver behavior barely budged. Moral of the story: Adjusting speed limits isn't enough to change driver behavior; you need to fix street design, too. findingspress.org/article/31956-…

Counterpoint: drivers, all you need to do is not hit people.

Brilliant.

Hey @NashvilleDOT Do you have an inventory of these "bike ways"? How much is really just paint? @walkbikenash

Ah, to witness this in real time, with no injuries to either party - bliss.

& yet drivers bitch about ppl on the non-sidewalked roads here during snow, w/sayings like "we can't always stop on the road & don't want to hurt you" IF YOU CAN'T CONTROL YOUR VEHICLE IN CONDITIONS THEN STAY THE FUCK OFF THE ROADS

New rule - if cops specify that a pedestrian was "not in a crosswalk" they need to include the distance to the nearest crosswalk in their release. For example, there's more than 3,100 feet (.6 miles) between crosswalks on this stretch of Cullen

HEADS UP DATE CHANGE to Tues Dec 21. Same meet spot, same times. Didn't want Santa's sleigh to get too wet w/rain on Thurs.

@FbcLegacy Is the sauce bicycle or beer related?

Patient: my balls hurt when I bike ride. Me: what shorts are you wearing? No I don't wear shorts. Pants? I only ride naked. OK. Wear bike shorts & Hang a photo of your scrotum & a sign "my Urologist made me wear shorts" so you don't get eschewed from the naked bike gang.

We expend a lot of energy getting angry with each other, when we should focus that anger on the transportation system that's been designed to put all of us in conflict with each other.

E-bikes should be allowed wherever bikes are. This whole thing is ridiculous but fill out the survey if you haven't, answer yes on questions 8 and 9, and feel free to leave them some copious comments. Deadline is the 30th. ebikesurvey.nashville.gov

Remember e-bikes are allowed on greenways and have been since 2016. @walkbikenash
