Yikes!

This is so scary.

Who else loves the feeling of trying to guess whether there’s a car about to hit you? Thanks for the opportunity to play, FedEx!

Protected bike lanes make riding so much more pleasant

Our bot has posted nearly 2,000 of your 311 reports since we launched it:

Love to see it!

so cool 😎

Pittsburgh: your 311 reports to @311.dashcam.bike are working. The city has installed cameras at bike lane violation hotspots and illegal parkers are automatically ticketed by mail. Keep up the reporting! www.wpxi.com/news/local/1...

“Bikes never stop at stop signs!”

Last October, we live-tweeted PA Supreme Court oral arguments in which a cyclist got a $25 ticket for "impeding traffic." The cyclist fought the ticket: xcancel.com/DashcamBike/... In a major victory, the Court just AFFIRMED our right to take the lane 🎉 bikepgh.org/2025/06/17/p... Original thread:

Bicyclist was just doored on Butler St. He dipped in and out of consciousness before being taken by the ambulance. The police decided not to show up because “the biker left the scene.” In an ambulance. This is why our city crash data sucks — nothing is reported. 2023 had more than five crashes.

Is this the worst bike lane in Pittsburgh?

Beautiful day for a bike ride

Seen in Philly: ICE vehicles illegally parked in bike lane. An unrelated fact: your city’s 911 may ignore calls about illegal parking in the bike lane, but you can leave it ambiguous by saying that a car is blocking the “travel lane”. Photo credit: www.reddit.com/r/phillycycl...

No amount of driver education or enforcement will fix this. People are not patient. Vulnerable road users need real separation, not just paint.

City: “don’t block the bike lane” Westin: “if u want otherwise no worries”

This driver parked half in a parking space, half in the bike lane. Parking legally would have been easier, and it’s free today. Why do drivers do this?

It's the audacity that gets me. Parking in the bike lanes and just hanging out while cyclist(s) approach...

We will be in DC tomorrow! Find us at the E-Bike Test Ride Alley and learn how you can advocate for safer streets on every ride with our in-app 311 reporting.

We’ll see you on Saturday, DC!

Who do you call about this?

Anyone know what this sign means: "Tow away: no standing or parking any time" Quite confusing!

Anyone accidentally leave their dumpster in the bike lane?

Try the @dashcam.bike NOTICE stickers! Incredibly satisfying

It’s 3/11 — Happy National 311 Day! Be sure to follow our lil 311 bot @311.dashcam.bike

Tomorrow, 3/11, is National 311 Day! Take an extra moment to notice the things in your city that need to be fixed and submit a 311 report to let the city know. bikepgh.org/2025/03/07/c...

Ugh @dashcam.bike would be such an epic tool here. There's spots on Pine in #Philadephia are too narrow, so folks spill out into the bike lane. It also creates an awful passenger door zone 😬 #BikePhilly

We're in Philly this weekend! Join us at the Philly Bike Expo.

Just ordered 120 of these stickers from @dashcam.bike if you wanna pick yours up locally! #bikedc

Note the wheelie #Pittsburgh #Bikesky

We absolutely cannot recommend that you do this....!!!!!!! 👀👀👀 #bikedc

Never in my life have I lunged for "buy now" faster. But also, we need to be able to buy these locally???? #bikedc

New stickers just dropped, get em at shop.dashcam.bike/products/sti...

Amazon sneaks in to any gap in a protected bike lane. Found in Berkeley, CA.

The Trump administration seems to have halted the Road to Zero Coalition’s work. Not surprised, but sad nonetheless. Here’s to hoping the “clarification” results in good news.

Our one-tap 311 reporting makes it easy to report all those little issues you see around a city but don’t have time to call in. Broken ped signal? Cracked curb cut? Pothole? It’s more than cars blocking bike lanes! Follow our 311 bot to see what people are reporting: @311.dashcam.bike

Good bot. Not a parking spot!

Big news! We've migrated our 311 bot from Twitter to Bluesky. When people in Pittsburgh or Boston use dashcam.bike to report hazards to 311, we mirror their reports here. You can find all reports at dashcam.bike/maps/. Can you give our new little bot a follow and a share? @311.dashcam.bike

Upsides of biking in snowy weather: - Drivers pass you more safely - Less sweating - Cuter outfits

nice

Bikes Don’t Pay Road Taxes Guy has no response to Yes They Do (on our latest Instagram reel: www.instagram.com/reel/DEi4i6q...)

PSA: if you don’t run red lights, you won’t have to direct traffic with your hands

The snow is telling on you

Congestion pricing in action: Buses leaving 1 minute late and arriving 14(!!) minutes early. If that keeps you, you're going to have to rewrite a lot of schedules!

How to park in a bike lane: Step 1: run over sign

Biking in the snow is magical

Earlier today, Pittsburgh City Council held a meeting to listen to residents who petitioned to remove a bike lane. I live-tweeted that meeting below. I’d like to offer a brief summary and reflection in a separate thread below. (1/3)
