Great to see @seattledot.bsky.social out on the Union St parking protected bike lanes this morning improving visibility at intersections! This is part of the Even Better Bike Lanes project @sngreenways.bsky.social has advocated for. Cc @jseattle.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com

Legislators need to pronounce this proposal as dead on arrival. The climate crisis is getting worse, and Trump is determined to stop climate action. We need these funds to go to build the infrastructure and services needed to reduce climate pollution - as voters made clear when they approved it.

Oh no! Do you need a last-minute gift for someone who likes bikes? I got you. Select local pickup (Wallingford/U District) from the Seattle Bike Blog shop! I'll be around all evening and even tomorrow. www.seattlebikeblog.com/shop/ #SEAbikes #Seattle

80% of people in the Westlake Station mezzanine have no idea which way to go.

I just Limebiked a half mile to the light rail station. It turned a 12-minute walk into a 4-minute ride and cost $1.66 after tax.

After pricing overhaul, 20-minute bike and scooter rides now cost the same as transit fare for LimePrime subscribers #SEAbikes #Seattle

1/🧵 2025 was a transformational year for walking, biking, rolling, and transit in Seattle. After years of delays, long-promised projects finally opened—thanks to sustained community advocacy. Here is a look at what opened this year 👇 www.seattlegreenways.org/get-involved...

We heard about 18th & Wabash, a brand new protected intersection planned to help keep people biking and walking safe, so we trekked out in the cold after some snow, just in time to film it before it was partially rolled back. So what's all the fuss about? www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpKJ...

AI "news" is so fucking awful. Seattle Bike Blog has great search engine karma, so we often get "cited" in these slop stories. Here's one that just popped up about the Rad bankruptcy. Nearly all the figures in the piece are just plain wrong, but then the AI attributes the errors to us! Fuck this.

Here's my Starter Pack of AI slop-free Seattle and PNW news outlets. Please let me know if you know of more that have committed to not using AI. go.bsky.app/CgTfMoe

NEWS: Katie Wilson will swap out current interim SDOT Director Adiam Emery for a new interim Director in Angela Brady, who currently serves as head of the Office of the Waterfront and Sound Transit. A search for a permanent Director is expected next year. www.theurbanist.org/2025/12/17/k...

Customers set to be screwed as Rad Power Bikes files for bankruptcy + Former St. Paul Councilmember says a Rad battery fire destroyed his house #SEAbikes #Seattle

Today’s the deadline to get something from the Seattle Bike Blog shop if you want it to (most likely) arrive by mail before the 25th! www.seattlebikeblog.com/shop/

I know I said I like biking uphill in the rain, but I draw the line at so much rain that it causes historic flooding.

Sara Nelson has officially adjourned her final meeting both as a Councilmember and as President of the Seattle City Council.

You can't even buy a safe replacement battery, they're out of stock. So probably a lot of people are just continuing to use an unsafe option (myself included).

The Burke-Gilman Missing Link would like a word.

I ask anyone else with information on the hit and run or video of the area near the intersection of Beacon Ave. S and S Stevens St. from late Saturday night to early Sunday morning to please contact the Seattle Police Seattle Police Traffic Collision Investigation Squad at 206-684-8923.

Thank you to neighbors & activists who held a vigil last night, raising the visibility of this tragic crime. We must shine a spotlight on traffic safety — thankfully the vigil resulted in a nearby business coming forward to share potentially helpful video footage with SPD officers on the scene.

I was so sad to hear about the death of a cyclist due to a hit-and-run on Beacon Ave. Allie was a beloved community member, avid biker, & advocate for safer transit & streets. My condolences to their family and friends. But condolences are hollow if we don’t take action to prevent the next tragedy.

While we don’t yet know all the details of this tragedy, we do know that we can save lives through better street design. Making our streets safer, especially for the most vulnerable road users — people walking, biking, and rolling — will be a high priority for my administration. #VisionZero.

Early Sunday morning, a driver struck and killed a 38-year-old named Allie who was biking across Beacon Ave S. The driver fled the scene. As a lifelong cyclist who’s had my share of close calls, my heart goes out to Allie’s family and friends.

I got to talk to one of Allie's friends, who confirmed they used they/them pronouns. Allie was described as a strong human being with an incredibly distinctive personality and a great sense of humor.

The crowd here at the vigil did comply with SPD's request to get out of the road by 10pm. The SPD supervisor who came out to talk with the crowd did say that someone approached them with potential camera footage from overnight specifically because they saw tonight's vigil.

I'm on scene here now. Looks like the crowd is letting 36 coaches through.

HAPPENING NOW: A group of protesters have reportedly taken over the intersection on Beacon Hill where someone on a bike was killed by a hit-and-run driver early this morning. I'm not on the scene yet, but was sent this photo from Beacon Avenue and Stevens Street.

When you read “held up at the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia,” you really expect it to be more than this lovely little neighborhood safety project.

The Allan-Harvard diagonal diverter, approved in 2018, held up at the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia by a legal challenge until 2023, was finally completed today. 🍾🎉 #BikeHfx

The conversation is over, Harrell did not weigh in at all.
