I remember reading a USDT study a few years back that hypothesized that autonomous vehicles *could* lead to a significant increase in single occupancy vehicle trips and egregious peak travel congestion. But I'm not going to look that up.

My current, beautiful view. Who says transit isn't stimulating 😁

In a shocking turn of math, increased e-bikes usage has led to increased injuries and accidents related to e-bikes.

"I did not participate in my local government and now I am enraged they made a decision I disagree with."

Good times

Wait, transportation is a market, too?

Show the world what your body can do! Get out and take a walk! Ride a bike!

The walk to school, the final frontier

Why we say that only solid infrastructure design holds motorists accountable for their actions in a way that paint and signs never could.

Suspending gas taxes might be politically popular, but it doesn't save drivers money and takes away funding for infrastructure. usa.streetsblog.org/2026/04/09/t...

An example of car-scale development masquerading as "walkable" -- no signage is visible at human distance in the walkable environment.

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

One of the worst things about cars is how fucking LOUD they are. Think I'm wrong? Look at how we build our cities, the sound walls we erect to enclose freeways.

"[Criminology's] focal concern with public safety does not typically extend to injury and death on the road."

I hope the next president turns that ballroom into a homeless shelter.

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

"Police Excited To Transfer The Responsibility Of Road Safety From Themselves Directly To School Children."

Oh, yeah! I'm going to be purchasing this self-published monograph, "Streetcars of Omaha and Council Bluffs by Richard Orr," that I stumbled over in a Dallas HPB. Perhaps I will share excerpts from the book while *railing* against the current Omaha Streetcar project. 😀🥰

Shade. Seating. Snacks. Zürich’s transit kiosks.

I will admit, once more: e-bikes and the people who ride them are annoying and that is a ME problem. It is my reaction to their existence, not anything inherent about the safety of the device or the behavior of the operators. New things are annoying if you aren't the one enjoying them.

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Who? Who could have predicted this? Sure, you say, "Anyone." But really? Could *anyone* foresee that routing a significant supply of energy resources through a sensitive piece of geography susceptible to closure because of shifting political and military postures was a bad idea needing alternatives?

There's no rule saying you can't continue to seek child-like joy as you get older. There's a bike for every need, ability, and stage of life. How you move through the world should be your choice, and your city should give you the infrastructure to make it happen.

Normies when you tell them you biked somewhere that they drove to.

Five years ago, I didn’t even own a bike. This morning, I rode my cargo ebike to the grocery store. This afternoon, my family did 10 acoustic miles like it was no big deal. I love both my bikes for different uses, but my ebike was absolutely the gateway drug. Absolutely cannot recommend one enough.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

If you're having fuel problems I feel bad for you, son I've got 99 problems, but gas price ain't one. 🖕😀🖕

Civil Rights icon, @doloreshuerta, made a brave move today, revealing a secret she had been holding for 60 years for the sake of the Farm Workers movement. You can read her letter here: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Thank you to all the workers at transit agencies around the country (and worldwide) who connect communities by moving people through their professionalism and dedication. We literally wouldn’t be anywhere without you!

The secret to true happiness is to spend as little time driving as possible.

American cities are cities of walls, and not particularly interesting or permeable walls.

Parades prove that cities (even Dallas, where the agency added cars to their trains to accommodate St. Patrick's parade observers) can adapt to using transit when the concept of using a car is unworkable.

Amsterdam of today was made possible by good policy choices.

Did you all clock connections today (spoilers for those who are behind.)

If you're in it, you are it.

It’s brutal out there.

Bollards are useless if they are nothing more than glorified paint. They are basically anti-tank defenses and should be constructed as such.

Oh . . . Are your gas prices rising? 🤣🤣🤣🖕🤣🖕🤣🖕🤣🖕🤣😳

Ahem! (🎶🎶Mi,mi,mi,mi🎶🎶) 🎶Cars are the fucking danger🎶 🎶Cars are the fucking problem🎶 🎶Leave people on bikes alone🎶

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Every day, something just like this. www.insidenova.com/headlines/up...

Look at this out of touch wealthy elitist! His mom and dad pay for his bike, food, and clothes.
