I’m sure this is difficult, and obviously VU’s to make. But I’ll gently share this reminder that in 1914 Vanderbilt and Chancellor Kirkland asserted their independence from the Methodist Church, and it has certainly been thriving since…
What is amusing about this oft-repeated situation is that the car/truck driver would say they "can't" park in the car lane because it would block "traffic." 1) Bikes are traffic too. 2) As parked, 99% of the time they're effectively blocking the car lane anyway, so just fully use that lane.
I second the vote for Birmingham. There's some amazing stuff downtown, including cool public spaces under interstates, and of course the civil Rights museum. Not to mention lots of great breweries!
Famous Nashville native Emily Kleinfelter is at it again. Check out this on-bike interview she did this morning about a new bicycle "practice park" in Littleton, CO. youtu.be/OuSgxmwLu5I?...
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. I didn't mean to be referring to the stand up scooters. My intent was to differentiate the e-bikes from what is essentially an electric powered motorcycle.
Ride Illinois served as a panelist for the Summit on E-Bike/E-Scooter/E-Moto Ordinances hosted by the Northwest Municipal Conference. Ride Illinois has identified the need to clearly differentiate between legal classes of e-bikes and e-motos as a top priority.
Today's bike lane blockages. 2706 Natchez Trace, 971 Church, and same company, same truck as last week at 947 Church. @nashvilledot.bsky.social can save money by installing concrete protection instead of flexiposts that drivers ignore & sending "enforcement" personnel where violations have ended.
This morning s Tennesseean has "mind blowing numbers" about Vanderbilt's football game on Saturday. Most mind-blowing of all, is that Vanderbilt somehow is 2-1 in the SEC, having only played one SEC game.
Instead of spending money NDOT enforcement personnel who cannot get to locations before the improperly parked vehicle is moved, Metro should divert funding to this type of actual bike lane protection.
