Vote NO on the SAVE Act!
The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

I often take the underfunded & underperforming Ghound bus. This station is right downtown Cleveland & DOESN'T NEED A NEW USE. IT'S THE FUCKIN BUS STATION. Investing in intercity public transportation is what we need. I don't care how this shit gets dressed up, it is just punishing the poor like me.
For These Old Bus Stations, It’s Not the End of the Line
The streamlined depots built by Greyhound in the middle of the 20th century reflected a more optimistic era for bus travel. A lucky few are finding new uses.

Dammit. This is my river and bridge in my neighborhood. I am leaving Belize right now for this. 😭 My bike commute is gonna suck.

This is infuriating.
I know it's a bit chaotic out there right now, but it's still interesting to see middle class bus riders have to wait in the literal street while a tiny of handful of people driving $50k SUVs cruise around in perfectly cleared lanes.

Pal, there are people who bring AR’s to the grocery store and you’re totally cool with that so maybe sit this one out.

My favorites are the doods who berate me for owning two ebikes. One for shitty weather and one for nice weather. I live in Pittsburgh. I commute daily. I don't drive. It's hilly here. And fuck off. #bikesky

The Redaction This Country Yearns For Most:
I already don't drive. Never have. I bike almost everywhere & take transit if I need to. But I have to fly many places because Greyhound is very unreliable and Amtrak takes entirely too long. Get it together inter-city ground transportation.
Two of the most powerful ways of reducing ghg emissions: drive less and fly less.
By building more walkable, lovable neighbourhoods, we can help people do both!

It's a chrimbus eve miracle. My Spring Hill bus was running late but I still managed to catch the rare Emsworth flyer to get to my sister's house for my family gathering tonight. Saved myself $35 in Uber fees. Thanks Pittsburgh Regional Transit. Not on bsky. 🙄

50% of parking should be removed.

Can we brainstorm some cycling hot takes to create some controversies at the table tomorrow?

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.
If your street has parking on both sides of a divided road and only gave cyclists and pedestrians the left over bits, you got room to make one side for safe active transit.
So many unused parking spaces in so many neighborhoods.
We need parking maximums not minimums.

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.
✨ We’ve long been pushing for Safe Trips in the Strip, and this project goes a long way to make that a reality. See why the original Penn Ave Rightsizing design changed, and how it's going now:

🤣 Bike as transportation since 2010. Not going to buy a car, bro. I love that my mere existence on a bicycle bothers people. 😘🖕
"What do you think about the transportation biking movement?" I asked him. “Just a trend,” he said flatly. “It won’t be around for long.”

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

This right here. This is why I can't get protected bike infrastructure thru some of Pittsburgh's hottest neighborhoods. I just want to survive a ride from 16th St to 54th St and back again. If anyone here works at Allegheny Wine Mixer let them know I would be there every night.
