“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society. Design #walkablecities.

Incredible snapshot of upper-middle-class college anxiety. Elite colleges have affirmative action for the very, very rich. Lower income students, who are less likely to apply, have a small advantage. This cashes out as a clear bias against upper-middle class applicants.

Buccos fans will take the wins where we can get them - even if the team loses. :)

@RobBiertempfel Rob - Been off this platform for much of the past year, thinking I’d get all Buccos coverage I needed from you & @TheAthletic. Had been waiting (and waiting) for your next Fast 5. Eeek! I just heard. Appreciate all youve done; eager to follow wherever you go next - even Twitter.

Quite the milestone! In an environment where it’s so easy to express frustration, it’s really moving to see the community come together. Onward! #VisionZero

LOVE love love @813Christine’s take on the Cass St. bridge and bicycle infrastructure projects in the @CityofTampa. “If we have a quick build model now, why aren’t we doing everything quick build? Why is there still a category of slow build?” tampabay.com/news/transport… #VisionZero

In the face of political leaders who dehumanize young people exploring their #gender identity, Both Can Be True by @J_Star_One is an amazing bit of counter-programming. A meet-cute for the ages.

Yep. Was there to witness. Super frustrating.

Good pickup by the Buccos. Thanks, @RaysBaseball!

How are YOU getting to school tomorrow? It's National Bike to School Day! So grab your wheels and bike, roll, or walk to school. We'll keep the celebration going all month long: watch out for new bikes, helmet fittings, crosswalk murals, special events! #bikerolltoschoolday2023

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 16-7. They have won seven consecutive games with a run differential of 45-15. Yes, those games were against Colorado and Cincinnati. They are still victories. And while this may not be sustainable, they have the third-best record in baseball right now.

Great piece! Vultures are the immune systems of the animal kingdom. Who knew?!

celebrate earth day by asking your state/local elected officials to build more dense housing and mass transit

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…
