The @UCI_cycling recently lost a court case in Brussels.
The @UCI_cycling admitted they had zero evidence which showed trans women on GAHT have an advantage over c1s women. Btw @BritishCycling relied on the same exact research as the UCI when they banned UK trans women.
did I tell you about the time last week when I shouted at a motorist to get her attention so she wouldnβt broadside me and then she followed me into the shopping center parking lot screaming βassholeβ at me?
motorists neither know nor care how dangerous they are to people not similarly armored
There are far too many cyclists who think that if they're just really good boys and girls on their bike that drivers won't kill them. And that is because they are all victims of an abusive system of car dependency.

I understand the sacrifice and longing that goes into training for and qualifying at sports.
I also understand the money involved.
If foreign nations want to help, maybe they should boycott the Olympics and World Cup, stating issues with the current, deadly police state we live in
That would help

AVs claim they are safer than human drivers (not yet true) but street design, speed limiters, regulating large vehicles, and automated enforcement are far simpler technologies that have been proven to work and should not be left out of the conversation.

so much of the bike infrastructure debate is shaped by the presupposition that people who drive cars need their cars, whereas people who ride bikes donβt really need them

"We need regulation of e-bikes!!!" people scream as SUVs and trucks get larger and deadlier and people speed and drive distracted with impunity.
I'm happy to talk about e-bike regulation as long as folks agree that the *most urgent* problem is cars.
