People are rightfully concerned concerned about losing voting rights in the USA.

Hong Kong shows how true democratic rights can be destroyed silently. False elections where all the choices must be approved by the regime.

Traffic engineers designed this road for speed, ignoring (intentional even?) that there is an elementary school and library here that attract people of all ages and abilities, not just abled drivers.

No matter the posted limit, average speeds here are around 55.

Kids in or out of a car risk death.

How many more children will die here?

Zooming out, it is clearly a place where kids SHOULD be welcome!

An elementary school on one corner, a library on another, and housing on the other.

Why do we choose to build this place “for kids” to be so hostile to kids????

Why do we build car dependency?

The 15 year old was killed at this intersection.

Even a casual observer can see it is designed for speed.

- 3 forward lanes in every direction.
- Every turning move is a conflict.
- No bicycle protection whatsoever.
- wide turning radius makes crosswalks dangerous.

We have sacrificed yet another child to Traffic Violence.

The victim who was a 15 year old girl, cannot speak for herself, as her life was sadly cut short.

As strangers we can stand up and demand change. Not doing so is accepting child sacrifice.

A tragic and sad loss for the Wolfpack. Bad driving behavior coupled with subpar car dependent infrastructure caused such horrible harm.

This is not acceptable. We MUST stop normalizing this carnage!

I am really quite disappointed in the framing by the WSJ of this issue. The comparison is not e bikes vs other bikes, but rather bicycles compared to cars as personal transport. Are cars going to be limited to 15mph?

When it was a photo of a Palestinian child used to spread misinformation about hunger in Gaza, they amplified it on X.
But when it’s an Israeli hostage, emaciated after over 660 days in Hamas captivity?

Happy Summer from the @raleighgov.bsky.social greenway.

Make your summer great again by getting outside and using any new bike/ped infra nearby.

The spat between the Nazi car dealer and the fascist dictator is just noise.

It’s entirely possible the whole thing is a charade to distract attention from their destruction, whilst entertaining the herd.

I’m watching the pop culture hit TV series “The Last of Us”. The premise is a Zombie Apocalypse.

Of the many implausible things, one is people would ride horses if all the cars are defunct.

We’d be much more likely to ride bikes. Simple, robust, no fuel, widely available, nimble and fast.
