I'm not saying that e-bikes aren't a growing safety concern, but 2023 saw over 3,000 teenagers die plus another 200,000+ teenagers injured due to car crashes... and this problem has been around since before Rick Reilly was even born

"I wonder what longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly thinks about kids using e-bikes."

Have never listened to @thewaroncars.bsky.social podcast, but followed them on Bsky because of urbanist mutuals like @nerd4cities.bsky.social , @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social , etc.

After seeing 10,000,000 posts, I have finally broken down and preordered Life After Cars. Very much looking forward to it

Kept getting UPS texts about a package coming and had no memory of having ordered anything. Was getting more and more confused.

Turns out is was a thank you sticker from @thewaroncars.bsky.social 😅

Wait until you read chapter one of “Life After Cars.”

I preordered mine a while back on Bookshop.org! Cars cost an average of $12,000 a year to operate and I want a better life for us all than being dependent on a car for daily transportation!

S.F. speed cameras are generating mountains of tickets and fines. Here are the totals so far August was the first month that San Francisco’s automated speed cameras generated citations with a fine. One camera accounted for a quarter of all the tickets, according to data.

The fact that SF cameras have already caught thousands of people going more than 15 miles over the speed limit is a perfect illustration of why these cameras were needed in the first place. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

Newsom's Fateful Choice Why the governor needs to sign SB 79

Probably dumb as hell to publish this on a Friday afternoon, but the clock is ticking to get @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign SB 79. Please share — and, if you're a Californian, please call the governor's office at (916) 445-2841 to ask for his signature. publiccomment.blog/p/newsom-s-f...

School streets give life. We need repair and nurturing and life-giving initiatives in our cities. We can do this, NYC. We can be a place that is building communities up instead of tearing them down and apart.

Call the Governor to sign SB 79! Please call the Governor and urge him to sign SB 79!

Rumor is that Gavin Newsom is wavering on housing and might veto SB 79. If you live in California, please reach out to the governor’s office today: cayimby.org/call-sb-79/
