Never say to your kids "WATCH OUT FOR CARS!" with neighborhoods designed for people, not motorists.
Unsolicited advice: build neighborhoods with space to play, hang out, and chat with the neighbors.

This photo of two very different group rides passing and exchanging high fives captures two things I love about the Midtown Greenway:
1) it’s used in all weather (this was a chilly April day)
2) it’s accessible and loved by all kinds of people

Listening to Geraint Thomas' TDF podcast, he says a lot of riders in peloton are worried that Pogacar will go so fast in tomorrow's uphill TT that they won't make the time cut. Stage 13 (Loudenvielle to Peyragudes) features an 8km climb; from what I can tell, time cut is ~33% of stage winner's time.

Bike lane opposition is always about vibes. Advocates have hard data about safety, traffic, and economic benefits. Opponents just say things "feel" different. Despite the city's own Better Bike Lanes Project showing no impact on congestion.
