screenshot of a bluesky post that had been hidden behind an “Anti-Cyclist” label. it has a “Show” button on it and a caption that says “Labeled by @labeler.bikesky.social. Learn more”

friendly reminder that Bikesky has a labeler, and it includes an Anti-Cyclist label that you can use if you’d rather not see people being nasty towards bike enjoyers

Sorry for the late reply!

Lots of ways but #urbanism is always a great choice!

This is fantastic!

Anyone here have some resources?

Use any number of urbanism keywords or hashtags. #urbanism is always a safe bet!

On God.

I hate car ownership so much

Memo to NYPD Commish Tisch: Drivers Keep Driving, And Killing, on Suspended Licenses - Streetsblog New York City License suspension doesn't keep drivers off the road, why would it work with bikes?

"... it's worth repeating that car drivers, most of whom have license plates and licenses, cause virtually all the deaths and injuries in New York City."

Uh.

I don't see these scooters going anywhere, and they shouldn't, they're still preferable to cars even during this time, so cities need to invest in solutions now.

Lots of designated parking. You can fit a lot in a single car parking spot.

Yeah, it's a problem, especially for folks with disabilities and mobility restrictions. I hate it.

These scooters are great though and many who can't ride a bike do to certain disabilities can ride an escooter, so they're a win for people with disabilities too.

🔥 Hell yeah!

i may just join the War on Cars instead

Sharing the Road: Research shows bigger, taller vehicles are more dangerous to pedestrians Take an in-depth look at how vehicle design affects safety on and near roadways. Also, see the potential solutions that could protect everyone.

"IIHS findings show that vehicles with hood heights over 40 inches are approximately 45% more likely to cause pedestrian fatalities."

Live every day like it’s Bike to Work Day.

A selfie of me wearing a bike helmet stopped in the University Ave bike lane

The University Ave bike lane, it is so beautiful and smooth and very wide

It's a beautiful day for a bike ride

I had the joy of experiencing my first school #bikebus today, to take my godson on Budlong’s inaugural ride! #bikechi
Favorite kid quotes:
“It’s like a school bus but with bike wheels”
“This is the best way to get to school”
“I could do this everyday”

I wrote a longform post on some of my thoughts, pictures, videos and experiences with Chinese urbanism. But Noah Smith consistently misses the mark on what living in urban China is actually like as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese cities. Link in next post.

An uneven road surface leads to the bus stop opposite Access NS. There is nowhere for people who wheel to go except in the road.

Our non-existent pedestrian infrastructure along arterials is inexcusable. Concrete barriers should be a legally required bare minimum effort
(at Access NS, Bayer's Lake, 311'd numerous times)

EVs are, at best, harm reduction.
A sedan EV/compact car is better than an E-SUV.
Walkable urban neighborhoods, ebikes, and transit are even better than EVs.

opposition to bus lanes from people who have more cars than can fit in their driveway and live a resulting life of carbrain-inflicted misery are the equivalent of people who take more than their share of food at a function and start complaining that they have a stomach ache

It's a lot easier to do little acts of kindness when you're outside a car and better able to identify opportunities.

Thanks for sharing!

When I was a little kid, if I saw an old person walking around, I’d have an emotional response and ask, “How come no one helps and drives them?”

Anyway. I’m a pedestrian and transit user now, and when I see an older person walking across the street, I make time to walk slow, just to make sure.

A very common thing 😭

Watching her comments reminded me a lot of the people who like to selectively talk about accessibility only when they want to argue against bike infrastructure. Her comments were rife with misinformation and utterly vile.

You’ll soon be able to ride your e-scooter legally on Sydney streets. Here’s how E-scooters are set to become a more common sight on roads and shared paths in NSW as the state government releases its plan to legalise the popular devices.

Probably not much of an issue on unsealed trails. Their inherent instability will likely make them less enjoyable on a longer journey such as along a rail trail. However there will be some who choose to use them.

Carbrain knows no party.

Last week was a very bad week.

But this setback won't destroy this program I care so much about.

Please share and donate (if you're able) so we can continue our mission of increasing access to cargo bikes via free rentals!
