Even the cozy coup has car bloat, it is now in truck form. One of my kids daycare friends had one out today and am so glad he avoided it #carbloat #tuckfrucks

Guilty as charged, made it about 26 hours before being banned! @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social thank you, this is great! #alxskeets #alx #bibabanned

There is so much stupid stuff in transportation. Between the 2009 (left) and 2023 MUTCD (right), the FHWA flipped the names of two signs. It is confusing and f#$king pointless. #transportation

A more accurate headline would be Lawbreakers Caught Creating Multiple Safety Violations. #bicycle #bikelane www.wpxi.com/news/local/r...

Obviously some horrifying stuff in the Epstein emails but Mr. Rich Pedo puts these silly notes at bottom of his Gmail account. Occasionally I see these on other pompous emailers and smile but it warms my heart that Mr. Rich Pedo thinks they did any good

They fucked around and found out lol! #GOPoops www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQI...

Did not get all of the road diets I wanted this year but Annandale Rd from Galanis Dr to Medford Dr in Annandale, VA was a pleasant surprise. With about 14,000 cars per day, I believe this is the highest volume street VDOT NOVA District has approved thus far. #fairfaxcounty #bikeva #annandale

For a few weeks, I have been waiting for my agency director to sign off on $1.2 million purchase order. Meanwhile, ICE Barbie tried to buy 10 engineless Boeing 737's from an airline that has not owned 737's for more than a decade (owning 1 for few months in 2012) www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really enjoyed meeting folks at the YIMBYs of Alexandria social! Please tag yourself if I missed you! #alx #yimby @alexgoyette.bsky.social @stephelms.bsky.social @elenasor.bsky.social @materialsdan.bsky.social @jonathankrall.bsky.social yimbysofnova.org/alexandria/?...

@maureencoffeyva.bsky.social @takiskarantonis.bsky.social I appreciate the work of County staff but this is frustrating, especially as they used technical jargon to state the current condition rather than say no. Can you please ask staff to make ped signal automatic instead of requiring beg button?

Rode through Arlington's new Army Navy Dr cycletrack! Street was formerly a 6-lane stroad. Overall, this worked pretty well. Busiest intersections have bike signals and the many driveways are narrower with green paint. Plenty of people biking including @yimbyalexandriaken.bsky.social #bikeva

Was talking to someone at a social last week about why highways come down. A key reason is the city has to be at the head of the table, especially as no state DOT lead will consider whether a children can safely ride their bike from one end of the project to another, let alone consider it a success.

From Rails to Trails. I wonder if the Draisine was the origin of NYC's ban on bicycles from the sidewalk #bikenyc

Last Chance! SGS is THIS THURSDAY! We have a scary surprise guest, and we are 🐝BUZZING🐝 with excitement. Can you guess who it is? We are ready for an evening of inspiration, friendship, and commitment to the fight for our communities. secure.everyaction.com/9tRhMhLZM0-a...

Last time the Democrats held the Virginia trifecta, they enabled local govt workers to unionize and now four years later, 99.9% of my coworkers ratified our first union contract! Thanks @adamebbin.bsky.social @ssurovell.bsky.social and all those who voted for that legislation! #union

#OTD The Erie Canal, completed 200 years ago, transformed America's economy, explains a historian. Although the canal idea was widely criticized as impractical and against “God’s will”, within a few years, shipping rates from Lake Erie to New York City fell by over 90%. buff.ly/crXWkth

I can't believe #HotGirlsForCuomo made a website. You've got to see it! 🤣😂🤣😂 hotgirlsforcuomo.com

Surely someone in Maine can run for Senate who is not too old or has a Nazi tattoo? Democrats have some bench strength there right?

Can confirm this approach works well! Neat to see so many families out and about on cargo bikes

VDOT gives a lead pedestrian interval on Gallows Rd and Cottage Rd but by allowing right on red, negates the safety benefit for people walking or biking across. #bikeva #fairfax zdesjardins.smugmug.com/Biking-and-w...

Would have liked to see this project permanently cancelled but a deferral is welcome news! VDOT has poor track record working with local jurisdictions as evidenced by this vote and I do not expect that change in 2026 #495 #tpb

Hope to see you there!

Once again, South Korea sets an example we should follow

Took the family on the Arcade and Attica Railroad for #railway200 ! Was a beautiful day for a train ride and the locomotive had a great-sounding whistle #trains #steamengine

I have wanted a Tern GSD for years and lucked into a gently used one! With my youngest sitting up, I cannot wait to take him and his older brother for a ride. #tern #cargobike

Rode from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario via the Shoreline Trail which opened a new section in Westfield, NY. Was not looking forward to riding along Buffalo Ave but turns out there was a bicycle boulevard option instead. It was a great ride and saw a lot of Buffalo's Outer Harbor I had not seen before

This program has been a ton of fun to help run! Here's to many more years of riding! #bikedc #bikeva

Turd Blossom has spoken!

Even at 34, I am bringing down the average age of the room #publicmeeting #bikeva #alx

A PHD came to talk "innovative intersection" designs today. Puts up a photo of the largest diverging diamond intersection in the world and it worked so well, traffic from the next intersection down backed up into it!

BPAC Holmes Run Trail reopening Ride! Most of the kids on the ride were not born or don't remember when this trail was closed due to washouts 7+ years ago. Thanks @nradshaw.bsky.social for organizing #bikeva #alx

Help make it easier and safer to walk or ride a bicycle to the Braddock Rd Metro and beyond! #bikeva #alx #bicycle

I am genuinely confused by all this pageantry. He was not an elected official. I cannot think of another time a regular citizen being killed garnered this response. It’s perverse.

“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk newsweek.com/charlie-kirk-s…

RIP Hunter Mill and Tyson's Marina. I like boats but if you can afford one, why leave it on the street? I saw one that had to be worth $100k www.ffxnow.com/2025/09/08/p...

Certainly put a smile on my face!

🚨 NEW STATION ALERT 🚨 Fairfax County, we've got news for you! We’ve installed four new stations: 📍Woodland Park Rd & Cooperative Way 📍McNair Farms Dr & Thomas Jefferson Dr 📍Huntington Metro North 📍Huntington Ave & Metroview Pkwy

This is the kind of political leadership we need to change our streets.

Thank you Representative Nadler for your service and recognizing the need to retire! www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

The city installed some except bikes signs below do not enter signs that I had requested a few months ago! #alx #bikeva #bicycle

Saw a Trek Fetch Bakfiets in the wild. Reportedly, Trek only sold 250 of these nationwide. Looks pretty slick and well-used though! #bike #cargobike #bakfiets

Innovation was the 80th Metro station to get @bikeshare.bsky.social there are several nearby stations to help people ride to and from the Metro. #bikeshare #fairfax #bikeva

Like their vehicles, Jeep's records are so unreliable, they wrote to me asking to extend my warranty on a car my father owns

Hi everyone. Typepad, the company that hosts the blog that I haven't updated in years, is going out of business. I'm going to try to export the data to someplace (?) but if there is something you want to copy from that you have until the end of the month.

Been playing with Legos for 30+ years but until today, had no idea duplos could connect to some classic Legos! #legos #toys

Reminded of why traffic forecasting is BS. A reviewer requested a very expensive validation on a very low traffic volume corridor which has barely grown in 2 decades. Like did they read anything else I provided? #bikeva

Been a rough couple of months but happened upon a road diet I fought for. It is far from perfect but should improve safety for all #bikeva #bikelanes

Apartment building site is available again! The owner is moving out and a for rent sign has appeared! #z4h #zoningforhousing
