Damn now I want to see if I can figure out where my Zune went because this was the correct take, even if mine was a pretty ugly dark brown shell.

Guess who finally saw the cute new USPS truck, out in Rockford! And I think this one was electric

New on Nebula: I went to the city that instituted the first urban growth boundary in America. It was a good idea 68 years ago, and it’s an even better one now nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

A big week for witness slips with important bills coming up, including the Idaho Stop! By Wednesday, 3/18 at 5pm: - Please sign as "Self" in the firm/business field; - PROPONENT or OPPONENT as noted - "Record of Appearance only" Bills and links follow in this thread. (1/9) bsky.app/profile/bike...

was in a silly mood last night, so, I drew this meme. ... weed was a factor. 😄🖖🏻

The Senate race between incumbent Kirk and Duckworth already proved this, and it was racist to boot!

And this is also why zoning reform that allows for neighborhood commercial by right is incredibly important. Music lessons, haircuts, Tupperware parties, all the below were run out of regular homes. Preventing secondary incomes limits traditional women's roles and independence.

I deleted my repost about the Trump admin removing the olive branch from the design of the dime. False alarm, guys

Never mind the lobbyists: Ride Illinois and Chicago, Bike Grid Now! say it’s essential for state legislators to pass law designating cyclists as “intended” road users. @bikegridnow.org @rideillinois.bsky.social @nikhunder.com @atalliance.bsky.social @chicritmass.bsky.social @stevevance.net

And reminder, this is why Hick is withdrawing. These are the preliminary results for senate delegates in the counties that have finished the assembly process, and he is getting ROMPED.

Make no mistake: Hick is doing this because he thinks he might lose. And we should take his word for it that he can.

Avid cyclist can't believe your kid biking to school needs bike lanes, "they probably can't even climb Tourmalet."

SO RELATABLE!

When they say "The Netherlands was never built for cars", show them photos like this, displaying a sea of parking in Utrecht.

It's extremely windy today and if I only owned an acoustic bike, today's errands would have been in a car. Our Ebikes remove the barriers. They neutralize winds, flatten hills, shrink distances, and make up for lack of energy. E-bikes don't replace bikes, they replace cars.

So delightful! Lucky Nettelhorst got this opportunity :)

If ever there was a day to use e-bikes, today is that day.

Been seeing it particularly on r/chicago and r/Illinois subreddits.

In 2013, CDOT sent a letter of enthusiastic support for NACTO's Urban Street Design guide. They have not signed onto the Urban Bikeway Design Guide despite Gia Biagi being a contributor

You're on public comment in planning chat.

(Dedicated bus lane on Michigan when?)

Yup. Massive branch went down across the street, blocking not only the entire street but my, my next door, and the across the street neighbors houses too

Comic art that only references other comic art is inbred. Study impressionism, silent films, folk art, photography, wood carvings, animals at the zoo, *something* outside of comics if you want your art to have a personality.

Field trip time, hitting up this and Black Dog. Shame the cafe where I proposed closed in 2024 :(

Police are a fiscal liability

Heartbreaking stories of how the DOGE chainsaw impacted public servants. www.departmentofgovernmentwaste.com. Here’s one:

If this doesn't describe what I want my weekends to be like, I don't know what does.

Show me one person on a bike rolling through a stop sign and I’ll show you 100 drivers speeding in an elementary school zone.

It makes zero logical sense to require speed limiters on e-scooters & e-bikes but not SUVs that weigh 100x more. Useful research here. findingspress.org/article/1587...

Old Station (2025)

SimCity2000 got me interested in transportation issues and eventually into planning grad school and my current job.

To the yet-unblessed, a very happy 312 day to you:

A top sign of car brain is refusing to let a 14-year-old ride transit alone but allowing a 16-year-old to drive a car. The perception of risk is completely misaligned with actual data. Two undeniable truths: 1) violent crime on transit is very rare and 2) teenagers are horrible drivers.

"a recent survey conducted by the Cubs showed about 37 percent of fans travel to Wrigley Field by car, while the majority walks, bikes or uses public transit." Why build more for the 37% that will lead to more cars (and more congestion) when Wrigley Field is so transit accessible?

We posted on Instagram about the need for a lower speed limit in Illinois urban districts and someone commented about cyclists speeding too 🤦‍♂️ Had to educate them about the dangers of several thousand pound vehicles moving at high speeds and how physics work

This theory has support from research regarding walking/biking trends among kids. From 1969 to 2017, there was a 77% reduction in kids who walked and biked to school.

Rare Kam Buckner L. I’d sooner be forgotten a thousand times than have a highway named after me. Here’s a better idea. In 2020 we renamed (Stephan A.) Douglas Park to (Anna and Frederick) Douglass Park. Let’s change (Andrew) Jackson Park to (Jesse) Jackson Park.

I feel like some of the current administration's jingoism comes from ignoring what Ukraine's been up to against the previously much-larger Russian Black Sea Fleet.
