This should be some of Chicago's most valuable real estate for public space that would attract tourism from all over the world, but instead...a highway.

Urbanist Beavis and Butt-Head: A 13 part 🧡

Beavis: β€˜Uh, this place sucks.’
Butt-Head: β€˜Yeah, it’s like, totally boring. Huh huh.’

If anyone deserves an e-bike, it’s Beavis and Butt-Head. Stuck in single-family zoning sprawl, they’re forced to walk everywhere. Imagine these two in a 15-minute city!

Laura's Bunch bike is parked at school with 4 helmets in it and the raincover on. It also has LED lights in rainbow on the side.

At school pick up today one of the neighbor kids we help walked up to my friends' Tern GSD (longtail cargo bike) & started putting her stuff on his bike.

I laughed & said β€œThat’s not our bike & I can’t fit all 4 of you in there.”

She shrugged & said β€œI want to try this one.”

Something new is coming to one of Seattle’s most historic neighborhoods.

We’re installing a protected bike lane from Occidental Ave S to the waterfront, closing a critical gap in the City Center Bike Network!

Can't wait to put these guys on flights to have them tried in Den Haag.

This is why pavement color differentiation is so important. If it looks like car infrastructure (grey asphalt), it will be treated like car infrastructure.

It's not fool proof, but it serves many purposes, one of which is clearly establishing who belongs where, and who doesn't.

A key aim of the DCC's Active Travel Programme is decluttering footpaths. Yet along the Fitzwilliam Quay to Londonbridge Rd scheme, they've managed to install a forest of signage for just 500m of cycle path.

Good cycling infrastructure should be intuitive & legible, not need constant instructions.

"Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else." β€” Susan B. Anthony, 1896.

Yet today, women only make up 40% of riders. This International Women’s Day, let’s push for ambitious and inclusive cycling policies that make our cities more equitable places for women and girls. #IWD

Velotric e-bike in the South Tacoma Station bike locker

Since my new commute is door to door transit, minus the mile from my house to get to the Sounder station, I've started using the Bike Lock lockers for my end to end connection.

Can't beat $.05 an hour.

You don't give people mobility options with painted bike gutters. You do it with this. πŸ‘‡

Absolutely no clue about wars, unemployment, fascists, or grocery prices. To be the Branch Manager is bliss.

Can you believe people have been calling this "freedom" and the "greatest country on earth" for decades?! Brainwashed nation.

There were more bills for this, some in our daughters name. Total was $32,000.

Well, we woke up to complete covered ground with snow on Monday and now this, so I don't even know what's normal anymore.
