The people who voted for this no-bid contract knew better. And they did it anyway.

Proud of Allie’s grandpa (aka “GP”) for speaking out about the importance of this bill in saving lives so there aren’t more families like ours, forever missing someone. 🩷

UPDATE: A NC House committee advanced the SEATBELT Act to require proven speeders to use Intelligent Speed Assistance tech as a condition of regaining their license👏👏 Thank you to the FSS members for your advocacy - NC residents, we need you to call on your state lawmakers to pass HB 1199! ☎️

The historian Gordon Wood, who died yesterday after being run over by a motorist in East Providence, was my dissertation advisor. He was 92. Here are some memories of him. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/gordo...

Red bars are U.S. states and blue bars are OECD countries.

It is hard to overstate the lack of seriousness with which we treat the ability to own and operate machines with the ability to kill and maim

A bike planner died on his community’s streets, and I wish that this was a unifying moment for the transpo practitioner community to come together to demand networks of all-ages facilities for people on bikes. Not ITS or robocars or bulbouts. All-ages bike facilities. RIP Riley O’Neil.

RIP Riley O’Neil.

Hey #bikedc! Tomorrow's the last day to provide feedback on DDOT's plan to improve safety on a crash-prone road segment. The proposed design includes upgrading painted bike lanes to protected bike lanes. Plans here: tinyurl.com/NOI-26-68-MS... Submit feedback here: tinyurl.com/NOI-26-68-MSED

DC friends, they've started up checkpoints again. There's a checkpoint at Rhode Island Ave NE and South Dakota Ave NE. And fuck ICE.

"This is a focused, life-saving intervention aimed at the most dangerous drivers on our roads," FSS Founder Amy Cohen praised the passage of Illinois' #StopSuperSpeeders bill, which now awaits @govpritzker.illinois.gov's signature. Learn more via WAND News ⤵️ www.wandtv.com/news/stateho...

DC teacher uses ‘bike bus’ to boost attendance, improve safety

At this point, @citycastdc.bsky.social is creating rage bait with their clumsy "story" on automated enforcement. The rhetoric is both tired and legit dangerous for the District. So even if no one reads this...a thread re their 'How your city could be better' ep #forclicks /1

Join us tomorrow (May 20, 6:30pm, Freedom Plaza) for the Ride of Silence to remember the Allie and the many other cyclists who have been injured or killed doing what we all try to do every day - just get around safely. Details here: ggwash.org/calendar/eve...

The Ride of Silence is 2 weeks away. As we spend #BikeMonth celebrating, shaking off winter hibernation, and/or welcoming new riders to the roads, save a moment to remember those we have lost to traffic violence. DC: ggwash.org/calendar/eve... Elsewhere: www.rideofsilence.org/locations-do...

Curious about a bike bus? Live or attend a school in Ward 5 nearish to Taylor NE? Join us for bike & roll to school day on May 6 @8am at Corner of Taylor & South Dakota Ave NE for a marshaled ride along Taylor with breakaway groups to the various nearby schools. RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

And now only 2 days left to give comments on the Taylor Street protected bike lanes before the deadline! Take the survey in favor of the lanes and add your comments to the map: bikelanes.ddot.dc.gov/pages/taylor...

GoDCGo is having a bike bus webinar! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

“Today, I shed tears of joy as I learned that the Maryland General Assembly passed the bills that will establish the ISA Pilot Program,” said Mindy Badin, the mother of Brett Badin, who was tragically killed while crossing the street on Rockville Pike in Maryland in 2020.

#StopSuperSpeeders has cleared the first hurdle in California. 🙌🏼 Thank you to our members who testified. Thank you to Assemblywoman Soria, the bill's sponsor.

Never would we have had so much fun in a car. Watching for Metros, taking imaginary photos, greeting everyone on the trail with an enthusiastic “hey bro!” If only Allie were here for the laughter. 💖

Truly no better way to share our city than by bike! Thanks to @wababikelibrary.bsky.social, we made it to the National Zoo, playgrounds, ice cream x2, mini golf, the Wharf, the Mall, ate a sushi boat, and made some CORE cousin memories!

Want safe bike infrastructure on Taylor Street NE? Join us at DDOT's open house this evening!

DC has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix its housing crisis through the 2050 Comp Plan rewrite. OP's current proposal squanders it. I built a tool so you can see exactly where they're falling short: dc2050.org 1/4

Is this anyone’s dog? Found in Brookland, DC, 17th and Hamlin

Since the 15th Street Protected Bike Lane was installed: • Crashes ⬇️ 46% • Bike injuries ⬇️ 91% Removing the PBL between Constitution Ave and the Tidal Basin would increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles at one of the busiest times of year.

Any traffic engineer signing off on removing a safety intervention - that has plenty of data backing up its effectiveness - could/should be liable

Safe bike infrastructure saves lives. Please take thirty seconds to sign @waba.org’s petition to save DC’s 15th Street bike lanes: 🚲 waba.org/action-page/...

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Gone are the days when out-of-state drivers could repeatedly drive recklessly in our communities while escaping consequences. We are going to court, winning judgments, securing settlements, collecting penalties, and filing new lawsuits. If you drive on DC streets, follow DC traffic laws.

Cameras only issue tickets when drivers are going 10+ mph over the posted speed limit. The solution is to reinvest the funds back into street safety, e.g., a safe street redesign at that specific location. The current Mayor has made it her choice to sweep the funds into the general fund instead. 👎

Memorializing bike rider Kenny Jimmenez Rivera, killed February 13, 2026 at Upshur St. & Georgia Ave. NW in Washington, DC by a hit-and-run driver. @ddotdc.bsky.social @mayorbowser.dc.gov

The District of Columbia has experienced 8 traffic fatalities so far in 2026, compared to 25 in all of 2025. DC is on a pace for 60 fatalities this year. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @ddotdc.bsky.social, what actions are you taking?

And because we love @ward5familybiking.bsky.social so much, commit to joining their next family bike ride in March and earn a #TranspoBINGO square on the honor system.

Our first cancel since inception! Safety first. Play @transpobingo.bsky.social bingo instead!

My dear friend Nader alerted me to two Iranian members of the Arsenal family, Aref Jafarzadeh and Amir Housein, who were killed while seeking freedom in Iran. We remember them. ❤️

A ride for Alex Pretti is being organized in DC on Saturday, 1/31. Meetup at Dupont Circle Fountain at 1pm, roll at 130. Dress warmly and wear layers. #BikeDC www.instagram.com/p/DUERoBsj6e...

Anyone in #bikedc planning a memorial ride on Saturday?

We've had our issues here in DC, but the good people of the Twin Cities are really going through it right now. Please support them if you can.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here. I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and it’s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

Yet another car on the trail tonight around 7:30pm at S st NE

2014 MMB: In 10 years, well have ZERO roadway fatalities and serious injuries. 2025 MMB: We're back to 2014 levels! Our strategies are working.

A bit of light: beloved infant teacher Ms Irma, who was struck by a driver in Nov 2024, continues to fight for recovery. She needs your support. Please consider giving and sharing. 🫶🏻 gofund.me/2e71a2ca1

"Slow down to fuck over ICE" is actually an anti-speeding message that may resonate with drivers
