Dear Bike Santa - make my dreams come true.
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:

After a long, drawn out process, the Penn Ave bike lanes through the Strip District are done.

🤣 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.”

Are these styles of riding as different as they seem?

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

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.

Las Vegas could expand the Monorail and have dedicated bus lanes. And install protected bike infrastructure. Their streets are absurdly and excessively wide.

Why do so many commuter ebikes not have chain guards? I am not a lycra velodrome user, just some chick who wants to get around town without black marks all over my pants. 😡 It's fucking annoying.

Exactly. I have no choice to go through a dimly lit park where people like to mill around in the dark. 😒
Women deserve the freedom to move - yet many still feel unsafe cycling
No one should have to choose between a busy road or a dark path. When cycling’s safer for women, it’s safer for everyone 🚲
