This was only about two time-lapsed minutes of the Alex Pretti memorial ride in Minneapolis today. I'd guess there were at least 5x more people there than this, and probably significantly more than that. Absolutely mind blowing love and support showing up on bikes today.

Ride Together, Stand Together: Cyclists United for Alex Pretti Over the weekend, tens of thousands of cyclists came together for memorial group rides in honor of ICU nurse Alex Pretti. See them here...

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse, cyclist and a murdered hero that was looking out for others. From this tragedy, I'm heartened that so many people came out to ride in his memory.

Aussi, sur place, ce matin j'ai vu une camionnette débouler à grande vitesse sur Tassigny, doublant par la droit, passager avec enfant en bas age dans les bras. Et le PM surveillent les cyclistes pour pas qu'ils fasse de bêtise. 🤷‍♂️

En parlant du bd. 41e RI, il y a quoi d'en faire un sujet. Une 4 voie urbaine de 200m n'est pas a sa place surtout devant une sortie de metro et une zone de correspondance vers les cars Breizhgo. C'est un lieu qui mérite d'être changé

souvent c'est un tourne à gauche depuis les quais de Chézy. J'attendais voir si ils allais mettre un PV a qu'un qui aurait remonter dans le mauvais sens (souvent) mais ils sont vite partis.

The Municipal Constables were on patrol this morning making sure cyclists were safe and didn't hurt themselves.

It'd be nice to have bike parking protected from the elements at the local market. This is Brittany after all.

What makes me as happy as cycling two abreast on my morning commute, is seeing other cyclists riding two abreast.

It just dawned on me that I've been cycling for a half-century now. Photo taken by my dad in Saint-Foy-les-Lyon, Christmas 1975.

It’s snowing ❄️ let’s all take the least well adapted form of transportation!

It was a pleasant ride through the chaos of snow traffic.

I have seen more of the country I live in by bike than I will in any other form of transportation.

Reader 2 :
Public service announcements exclusively targeting drivers and changes to streets and speed limits will not protect pedestrians who jaywalk... ...What can help pedestrians avoid the front of a car is remembering our mothers’ lessons to look both ways before we cross the street

Reader 1 :
Prioritizing safety over traffic flow saves lives. What we lack is the courage from legislators to implement these solutions. They’re choosing driver convenience over pedestrian lives.
When you design a road for speed instead of safety, people die. That’s not an accident: It’s a choice.

The reader responses to the vision-zero articles are from different planets :

I wonder what was considered "too far to walk" at the time. I'd imagine it isn't that far nowadays.

What a week of contrasts. My bike commutes this week had all the weathers : rain (lots of it), spectacular sunrises and heavy fog.

Some commutes are accompanied by fiery sunrises and other days the fog brings another mood.

I had X-mas lights on my bike

I kept running across friends and people I know on my bike commute this morning. This never happens by car.
