@anu_wil @dhmontgomery visiting this on desktop might be what you're looking for--a metro jump from 9/10 4.5k N1 Copies/Liter to 9/13 11.9k. That's the highest reading since May 7th experience.arcgis.com/experience/a8d…

@MelodySWV What if there was a chicane every 2 blocks to allow emergency vehicles a way in but still slow drivers?

I am talking with Public Works Deputy Director and City Engineer Bryan Dodds today about Phase 2 of Bryant Ave. What questions do you have about the new plan that I can help clear up? Focusing on the actual construction/design.

I wrote about trends at Minneapolis Public Works, which has just had its 2nd major snafu in the last year. minnpost.com/cityscape/2023…

A lot of "entry level" bike stuff is really good. If anything the high-end stuff is the real entry level since you buy it because you din't know any better and you think you need it. Ultimately though you wise up and graduate to entry level.

Anyone in the Twin Cities have a photo of a street sign downed or damaged by a car they could share with me for an article I'm writing? Thanks!

Pontevedra, Spain has seen 20%+ population growth since going car-free in 1999. Mayor of Pontevedra: "Not only have we not had a single road-related death in over a decade, but air pollution has been reduced by 67%." politico.eu/article/pontev…

This information must be kept from the poets at all costs.

There’s nothing more fun than rolling around the city with 100 new bike friends. (everyone you bike past knows it too)

'“When we tested the tyres it killed all the fish,” said McIntyre. From there, they were able to identify the culprit: a toxic chemical known as 6PPD-quinone, which is added to tyres to stop them breaking down.' theguardian.com/environment/20…

@TheSotaSwede @chasesfanclub @paulachesley @WedgeLIVE I would bike

@chasesfanclub @paulachesley @WedgeLIVE You gotta park at schaper park, it’s a bit of a walk

A new report on Covid reinfections is particularly concerning. I've written about it here erictopol.substack.com/p/a-reinfectio…

@TomBasgen Love a Pierce Butler ride!

Folks I had just an exquisitely Tom Basgen ass evening. I charmed strangers. I rode my bike and drank beer. I yelled Steely Dan Lyrics with my hands off the handle bars on Pierce Butler. I am the Peregrine Took of this dumb town.

@UnseriousDude_ @NickAservy @holz_bau @paytonchung The pros you’re quoting are comparing double loaded corridors to single loaded corridors, an even less efficient use of space

@NickAservy @holz_bau @paytonchung Yeah I have no idea . . . just quoting that publication, which seemed to be saying exactly the opposite of what you were saying.

I made this cleared section 10 inches wider. TOTALLY WORTH IT. A few modifications and I'm looking forward to the next clean snow fall.

@being_ulti Do you like to play main lines or go for tricks? Any favorite openings?

I am uuoo on chess.com challenge me if you want but know that I haven't played much since I went on the losing streak of a lifetime, going from 1400 to 1100 in one very angry day.

On Wednesday, @LRB published a long essay of mine on the brutal effects of air pollution, which kills ten million a year. But beyond the moral horror, air pollution offers strategic and conceptual lessons for climate, as well. A long thread (1/x). lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v43/…

One reason I love Elliott Payne is because he’s a huge advocate for winter biking. Please vote @ElliottForWard1 if you live in ward 1! And listen to what he has to say about winter biking. Don’t let the cold scare you, you warm up right away! youtu.be/pdmbaP6pG-g
