WE KNOW 🚲 AGAINST TRAFFIC IS UNSAFE
🚗 turning right from a side street won't see them as they're not looking in that direction. 🚶no probs. 🚲 avg spd 16kph. But many 🛵 have top spd 30kph, & they're supposed to ride against traffic? Shd ride WITH traffic, like 🚲, & use BLs too! 30kph #cycling

"However, police say they can only be legally operated on sidewalks, pedestrian trails, and parking lots. Where there are no sidewalks, they can be carefully operated along the left edge of roadways, facing traffic, with other pedestrians."
THIS IS INSANE!

This photo was dated 1900, but that can't be right - look at those rim brakes. I'd guess 1930s.

1900 (???)

A few months ago, a friend visited me in Utrecht. As we biked around to do daily errands, she kept saying, "This is like a dream. This is like a dream."

I do believe all cities the world over to soon come to their senses, limit car movement, and build a dream of safe, abundant streets for people.

Happy #BicycleBirthday, John Lennon!

October 9 (1940-1980)

Photo of John Lennon standing astride a bicycle in a meadow.

"As a kid I had a dream - I wanted to own my own bicycle. When I got the bike I must have been the happiest boy in Liverpool, maybe the world. I lived for that bike. Most kids left their bike in the backyard at night. Not me. The first night I even kept it in my bed!"
- John Lennon

When Canadians boo the American anthem, they are booing Donald Trump, not the players, the fans or the people. When Americans boo the Canadian anthem in NY at the Blue Jay games, they are booing themselves as the majority of Blue Jay players are Americans 😊

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
