One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

Gov. Polis is increasing the EV tax credit from $6,000 to $9,000. But lowering the e-bike credit from $450 to $225.

Transit is safer, cleaner, and cheaper than driving alone, yet only 4% of CDOT’s budget is dedicated to transit projects. Completing all seven unfunded BRT routes costs less than one highway widening project. It’s time to prioritize people over pavement. Learn more at: tinyurl.com/recaltrans

Littleton rocking out with the Toronto style curbs for their protected bike lanes. Looking good!

They join Boulder as the second city in the metro area to have bike lanes that protected with these popular barriers.

Both 46th Ave and Lowell at this intersection were supposed to be protected bike lanes. The 46th Ave PBL was cancelled and the Lowell PBL has been delayed indefinitely due to lack of funding. This is another crash in Denver that could have been prevented.

“No one uses the bike lanes!”

“Actually, they do—just efficiently…You might not see it jammed with riders at rush hour like a car lane because—surprise!—bike lanes work. They move people quickly and cleanly. You just aren’t sitting behind them idling.”

See article for more anti-bike comebacks.

Brent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · Sep 4

“We can’t all be expected to bike.”

Fair. But that’s not the point.

“Not everyone can or wants to bike. But some people can & do—and they deserve a safe, efficient, affordable way to move through the city. It’s about freedom of choice.”

This & other useful comebacks, in @momentummag.bsky.social.

My friend JUST got hit by a bike in front of STK. Luckily, they're okay since it was a low-speed collision (the driver was turning into the parking garage), but removing the posts was a terrible move. @denverbicyclelobby.bsky.social @westword.com @denverite.bsky.social @yimbydenver.bsky.social

We send our thoughts to the family and friends of the person killed biking this weekend.

Unfortunately, this crash was predictable. Neighbors have been asking for street safety infrastructure upgrades to W 14th Ave for years.
