I am finally seriously considering leaving this platform and moving to Threads. Such a bummer that Musk is screwing up what was/could have been an amazing tool.
So if this account and my @BikePortland account go quiet you'll know why.

@yourfriendpiper ummm yeah. It's actually weird to me how some people assume I don't! that's one of the problems w platforms like this.

Big news for bicycle riders who are often forced into risky traffic situations and/or feel unsafe due to some of these RVs.
English
@bimboposting Hi. What part of my tweet makes you think I'm "promoting" this? I'm saying it's big news and I'm sharing how these RVs impact bicycle users.
English
What's happening here seems to be a normalization of very dangerous and illegal behavior that likely won't get better as long as local officials remain silent and path infrastructure makes it possible.

I hate leaving town. I also love leaving town. This is one of two separate family trips in the coming 5 weeks just FYI FWIW. Running a business solo is great until you need a vacay. 🤣😲

I relish opportunities to talk about bikes outside our choir and reach new ears. From 2017 but unfortunately (just like I said would happen!), folks still say this "bikers don't pay" stuff.

In 2017, Portland's ABC affiliate station @KATUNews had BP editor/publisher @Jonathan_Maus on their "Your Voice, Your Vote" interview show to talk about Oregon's (just passed) $15 tax on new bikes. The host asked "What abt people who say cyclists don't pay for roads?"

This is a verrry prevalent idea among some of Oregons most powerful elected officials and policymakers.

US transportation agencies keep claiming that expanding highways will reduce climate change. That's absurd. In @voxdotcom I explained why. 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect…

In hindsight, PBOT would rather save up $$ to fix these locations for good w permanent infra that doesn't require maintenance.

Concrete planters for calming traffic removed after frequent collisions - @PBOTinfo thought 2,500 pound planters would do the trick. So did we! bikeportland.org/2024/07/30/con…

@Henryz_mom I think it's impossible to determine the reasons. But seems like a significant change — and especially if other states report similar (so far I've heard WA and CO are also down a lot) — it seems like a legit shift and not a statistical variation.
English
@Jonathan_Maus At a recent meeting someone showed similar stats for Portland road fatalities, relieved they are down YTD from last year. My question: can this be attributed to any specific change? Or is it statistical variation?
English
If my calculations are correct, Oregon has had 23% FEWER traffic deaths statewide in the first 7 months of the year:
2023 YTD - 347 fatalities
2024 YTD - 268 fatalities

These mark a lot of boxes for 💯 bike parking: covered, ample quantity, right up front (for security), staple (best design).
Spacing looks a bit crowded for larger cargo bikes. Always good idea to have an oversized bike section w larger spacing. Overall this looks fantastic.

PBOT says it's a "soft launch" and between these new @BIKETOWNpdx @lyft e-scooters and ones from @limebike, there will be around 3,000 scooters on the streets in the coming weeks
