People are jerks. Landscaping company put cones up to allow their equipment to move around and do their work. Someone moved the cone and parked their car. Now they are stuck and can go to their next customer. Way to go 😠

Fast and Frequent Bus Service Comes to Chapel Hill and Durham - Triangle Blog Blog A group civics blog covering town council, education, transportation, and recreation in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC.

Blog bloggers love the 405. Many of us have ridden it into Durham for events as it rolls right out of central Carrboro. Now it and the 400 are getting even better! 🚍

I have strong feelings about transit executives and decision makers who don’t ride the systems they are supposed to be operating and supporting.

Tour de France Femmes stage 5: Kim Le Court awarded victory ahead of Demi Vollering in photo-finish sprint and reclaims yellow jersey Anna van der Breggen takes third place among the selection of favourites sprinting into GuΓ©ret

Two days ago, Demi Vollering crashed hard on stage 3 and wasn't even sure if she could continue. And, here she is sprinting in a 4 up for the stage win. Bike racers are tough customers. Tour de France Femmes promises to be more exciting than the mens race that just finished.
