Dear Bike Santa - make my dreams come true.

Hey @reportsstrip.bsky.social @bikepgh.bsky.social @cityofpittsburgh.bsky.social Make Penn Ave a PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL BIKE LANE. NOW. Before someone 💀☠️ Your compromise is shit. Fix it.

A sign placed sideways in a car travel lane would be inexcusable. Our database shows they’re common place for bike lanes.

How bike lanes are maintained by a city sets a tone for how they feel about bicyclists.

I am fed up with this "better than nothing" bullshit in #stripdistrictpittsburgh. We need PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL 🚲 INFRA thru the Strip to Lawrenceville & beyond. ##extendpenn This was a shit compromise at the safety of all cyclists. I do not want to ride in Spring Way with the dumpsters & trash.

It is disconnected from the bidirectional Penn Ave bike lane. Lame. CONTINUOUS PROTECTED BIDIRECTIONAL BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE ON PENN AVE NOW! Smallman Street is dangerous and I am not riding thru a fuckin garbage dumpster alley to patronize businesses in the #stripdistrictpittsburgh

🤣 Bike as transportation since 2010. Not going to buy a car, bro. I love that my mere existence on a bicycle bothers people. 😘🖕

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

You mean Butler STREET?

Infuriating.

She's a troll who should live under a bridge. 😒

She's so CUUUUUUTE

Thanks. I am already trying to make this bike more "me". A friend offered to paint it purple. He paints cars and has all the right equipment. I am looking for zebra print basket liners. I ordered a front basket. The basket has giant holes in it. 😒I already have a zebra pannier coming.

I would love a design like that. 😍

I live in a non insulated wooden 100 year old house in Pittsburgh. So yeah, I get what you are saying. 😕

No worries, I am not diligent on bluesky. 😊

Bought an N+1 bike. 😂 I have a Schwinn acoustic cruiser in my cellar, an EBC cruiser (RIP bankruptcy) getting repaired, & now I own a used Velotric Discovery 1. I hate this color & this design. I love my EBC so much. But I need to preserve my pretty EBC bike & commute on this in winter. #bikesky

Red cruiser ebike on the 6th Street Bridge in Pittsburgh.

Me and PeeWee. 🥰

If this nation had moral standards, a pedophile would not be allowed to host a murderer in the Oval Office.

Ha! I am in a "vee" doing parallel polyam. But I would change my style for this bike.

I pay taxes. Get the fuck out of my bike lane, jagoffs. Had a cursing contest about it with a rent-a-cop too. @bikepgh.bsky.social

Oooohhhhh a polycule bike. 😍

OMG yes.

Well, that tracks. #entitledDrivists

Thank you for all the information. I didn't know a lot of that.

John would have hated me. I rode a ladies Schwinn cruiser with an upright body position on the streets of Pittsburgh daily for 12 years. As much as I love pissing off drivists by merely existing, I really like upsetting aViD cYcLiSts as well. 🤣🤣

I broke out my heated gloves. 😁

BAHAHAHAHAH the recommended route by Ride With GPS is to take Rialto St to the 31st St Bridge! 🤣🤣🤣
For those who don't know, it is one of the Dirty Dozen Race streets, the 13 steepest streets in DaBurgh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Perhaps it's data is based on all the riders from the race 2 weeks ago. 🤣🤣🤣

Doesn't appear to be. 😢

Yup. I can go fast, but I don't want to pedal at 20mph with my assist on max to not inconvenience a drivist so I can go get a glass of wine. Coming to a quick stop even w hydraulic brakes has to be hard on my brake pads. I am not a car. 😒 I want to travel at a steady pace not taxing my bike or me.

Yeah I can see that on the map - but LACK OF PROTECTED BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE is my primary complaint here. I don't want to navigate shitty back alleys. I think it was Berlin Way that is a complete pothole shitshow on Google maps streetview? I was looking at alternate routes just two days ago.
