Riley was killed by a driver yesterday while riding in a painted bike lane on Halsted in Bridgeport. My life was personally improved by some of the bike racks Riley installed despite never knowing him. Please drive safely & advocate for safer bike lanes. Paint is not protection.

CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken, but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲 Please spread the word

It happened just outside of Bernice's Tavern. A white BMW doored the cyclist who was thrown under the wheels of a semi.

Nothing I’ve ever done takes as much courage as it does for her to get up and go to school every day while the full weight of the conservative legal apparatus comes for her. And she’s not only still out there but crushing it. Happy pride, Becky. We’ve got your back no matter what SCOTUS decides.

I’ve said for years and I mean it: If I’m ever killed on my bike or as a pedestrian: You are all expected to politicize the shit out of my death. There would be no greater way to honor me than to use my death to prevent more senseless fatalities. You can start doing it before I’m even buried.

I’m checking is hilarious

@mayorq.bsky.social Begging you to send someone to Indianapolis to teach us how to do this. Our Public Works Dept loves to pretend we can’t have trees or traffic calming because of curb lines

You can just block 😉

You ever notice how drivers who park in the bike lane will always go "So sorry!" But the second you say to them "I want you to move your car" their sorrys turn into "fuck you"'s? Spoiler alert: They're never actually sorry

old enough to give you the wedgie of a lifetime

I still think about this and laugh. All-timer from @philbraun.bsky.social

When I reported on the 15 Minute Cities protests in Oxford I was struck by the way lots of people I spoke to described themselves as a car driver in a way that really felt like an underrecognised form of identity politics. Having said that OH MY GOD

A company vehicle is a moving advertisement. The way you drive reflects the business you represent. Respect other road users. See where it happened on the @UpRide.cc map https://upride.cc/incident/asda-great-quality-low-prices-sht-drivers/

"Bikes can replace car trips" ≠ "Everyone MUST replace their car and ride a bike for all trips."

It's the thought that counts

Wow what a great way to brand the city one year into our Vision Zero mission. We are definitely serious here, folks.

The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after Doug Ford banned speed cameras and the effect is so obvious it's not even necessary put a line marking when that happened. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit.

oh I get it now maybe this is what they mean by "vision zero"

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

Happy Bike Month to all who observe.

This!!!!

I have to explain this way more often than I would care to: IndyGo’s budget is separate from other city budgets, and cannot be diverted to other causes without returning funds to the federal government. Great clapback from Director Wilson. www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

I follow a lot of people because I subscribe to lists. This recent run of BlueAnon conspiracy nonsense has really helped me whittle it down.

The Indianapolis Song🇺🇸

www.wthr.com/article/news... This is pretty unfair to the car because most of our gas in Indiana has ethanol in it, so it's unavoidable. Now if it was a human being that crashed into the wall it would be different.

New tone is 'Vision Just a Few' cuz its easier to achieve than Vision Zero.

Gotta blast! Two classics brought to you by THQ are coming to Nintendo Gamecube - Nintendo Classics! Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, and Nickelodeon's Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: Jet Fusion drop on April 16th. Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack and Nintendo Switch 2 System Required.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

My point being: Biden really should not have done that. And people called it out at the time.

The work was happening with or without the Blue Line. Local businesses would rather watch infrastructure crumble to dust than go a day without complaining.
