Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Wow. This is great

Here it is, your Bluesky #Bike Content of the Day for Friday, 6/26/26. Having clean air to breathe is the most basic of human rights -

“LOITERING IS NOT PERMITTED IN THIS AREA!!!” It’s a “reflecting” pool. I guess contemplation, pondering, circumspection, mulling, wishing, hoping, and fantasizing are also verboten?

I may be the only human on the planet involved in long-running West Virginia Baseball and Knicks Basketball text-chats. What an amazing time to be alive!

My dog came scarily close to dying last weekend when he aspirated. We got him to the Vet hospital quickly and they saved him. If he had passed, though, I wouldn’t have shared the news here, with strangers. But, I’m seeing at least 10 pet death posts here every day. Why has that become a thing?
