Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via

Last month, Sen. Deb Fischer's (R-NE) husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand. Yesterday, he tried to shake Doug Emhoff's hand. The Second Gentleman replied: "Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?” REPOST if you love Doug Emhoff!

THIS, THIS, THIS. I've studied nuclear physics, been inside a reactor, planned waste management strategies. It's always the waste that makes them something we should NEVER have done.
