Saw the Japanese movie Happyend at the Gene Siskel Film Center tonight, if you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. Very prescient themes about surveillance, xenophobia, and governments using safety as an excuse for overreach and oppression.

Here are the new plans for traffic diverters instead of PBLs on the Wood Street Neighborhood Greenway - Streetsblog Chicago

While the new proposal is a major change from the original protected bike lane plans, installing traffic diverters will go a long way towards making Wood truly bike-friendly.

We're so excited to get our copy of Life After Cars from @thewaroncars.bsky.social in a few weeks, and we got their sticker just the week before we headed to New York City! We know it's going to be a fabulous read.

Now we're off to bike in the Big Apple 🚴🏻‍♂️
