Your house temp went below 60?! 😳 Never went below 67 here. And I thought we were poorly insulated.

So annoying that the Trump administration is going after “fat” people while simultaneously clawing back funding for projects that would give people a safe place to ride a bike, walk or jog.

E-bike: 1

Post your dream ride. (Finland used the Helkama Jaakari to fight Nazis)

Hope you’re listening to Iona!

States rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travel Road safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel.

What's wild about the 85th percentile is that lots of US states use it to set all speed limits, but the original idea (from the 1930s) was to let observed driver speeds shape speed limits on **rural roads**.

It was never intended for urban areas w/pedestrians & cyclists!
