If you're having a bicycle event where you want some connectedness with your snacks, GoGo squeeZ has some pedal-themed pouches. 6 'Pedal Peach' in a 12-count organic pack. UPC 48860 04932 #BikeJoy

The common disembodied "Car Hits Pedestrian" came to mind when I saw this headline.

If you ever have someone mention that a quick-build traffic chicane is ugly, it's because they envision flex posts. If they say they're too expensive and slow to deploy: a chicane can be created for under $800 with American-made materials. Deployed in about an hour.

Two kids killed by school bus drivers in Maine about four weeks apart. There are many contributing factors in vehicle crashes. Front blind spots caused by hoods are easy to fix with policies favoring better design choices. #VisionZero NTSB

When the buffer on a U.S. curb-protected bike lane is red, what should it be called? The reverse Dutch?

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

Air pollution from an hour of a gasoline lawn mower is about the same emissions as a 100-mile vehicle ride, according to a study, which recommended mowers have catalytic converters. From 2001. Largely ignored for 24 years. * peer-reviewed Environmental Science & Technology Electrify stuff.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.

In a late-night email, CDC revoked remote work accommodations for employees with disabilities—without explanation. This illegal move forces workers to choose between health and jobs. Blanket bans are harmful and unlawful. When rights are stripped from some, protections for all are weakened.

One of Beethoven's most famous songs was inspired after learning that trees produce oxygen. He named the song "Fir Release". You can tell that joke any day of the year. It's evergreen.
