Still haven't seen it but now on Hulu...

Hey @islandpress.bsky.social... is it too late to put this on the back cover?

Nothing to sell, but I do cohost a podcast where @wesmars.bsky.social and I wonk out on all kinds of transportation topics — including car car bloat. Check it out: lookbothwayspod.podbean.com

"I wonder what longtime Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly thinks about kids using e-bikes." - Nobody

Wee!

No emergency that I could see; just parked there (for a long while) protecting & serving...

Bring them buttons back!

This sign at Bethpage Black, where the Ryder Cup is finishing up today, kinda looks like somebody tried to combine my book cover styling with the @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social podcast title...

I really don't hate John Forester, but I do hate how we traffic engineers let his nonsensical "research" dismantle our approach to safe bicycling infrastructure

My wife lands at an airport late last night expecting to pick up a regular-sized sedan and Avis gives her this... seriously.

Heavy on the victim blaming...

He's an expert... allegedly #DanPatrickShow

Makes me happy to see new work by Donald Shoup still coming out... he might be more like Tupac than Snoop Dogg www.emerald.com/books/edited-volume/17768/chapter-abstract/97269655/Eight-Parking-Reforms-to-Improve-Cities-and-Cool

Even the older cars are growing... www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/706600489091694/

I've been stopping at this great little restaurant to buy myself a breakfast burrito about once a week for the last decade as I bike to work. In the short time since Denver got rid of their minimum parking requirements, they turned about half of their old parking lot into outdoor seating...

In addition to all the fun @davidzipper.bsky.social and I have on the @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social, I also went on the @strongtowns.org podcast that came out today... www.podbean.com/ew/pb-khitc-1962fdc

@davidzipper.bsky.social & I will be taping the next episode of the Look Both Ways with David & Wes (@lookbothwayspod.bsky.social) today at 4 PM EST... If you have any questions you want us to try to answer, add them here. Or join the show's live chat on YouTube and ask us while we are recording!

Our autonomous future is upon us...

Is it a mystery because we don't yet know what the topic is? Or because we just can't quite explain it succinctly??

Does the NY Times still employ editors? Or is this story about HOAs?

If you happen to be due south of Denver tomorrow...

We'll see...

On the latest episode of the podcast, @wesmars.bsky.social & @davidzipper.bsky.social discussed why US transportation agencies are often led by people who don't actually care or know much about transportation (ahem, Sean Duffy).

USDOT's insistence that cities remove colored crosswalks has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with LGBT censorship. From the latest episode of @lookbothwayspod.bsky.social

Mentioned this back-and-forth on the podcast yesterday... and the city is removing it yet again: www.boston.com/news/local-news/2025/08/27/newton-removing-italian-flag-colors-from-street-again/

Episode 4 is now available on YouTube & all major podcast platforms! Today, we talk about rainbow crosswalks in the crosshairs, the misery of Paratransit, & road safety north of the border. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdP4r4G6158

NHTSA is investigating "why" Tesla is super slow when it comes to reporting these so-called self-driving crashes... and I'm pretty sure I can already tell you why: they don't want to report them

It's been a few weeks, but time to start on the songs for Part 3 of the book: Make No Mistake

Will be covering the conflicting goals of sustainability in my Sustainable Transportation Systems class tonight... and I'm never, ever short on good examples of such

Many people love speed humps -- and for good reason: They work. But many cities won't install speed humps on streets with more than an eight percent grade. A listener asks: Are those rules a mistake? @wesmars.bsky.social answers:

@davidzipper.bsky.social unloaded on Tesla in the latest episode: “It’s one thing to argue – which is debatable – that if you buy a Tesla and use Autopilot you’re agreeing to the limitations and risks of doing so." "But it’s another to basically treat everybody on the public road as a guinea pig."

15 minutes until a live Look Both Ways with David & Wes (and I promise that my mic volume will be better; maybe not perfect, but better)... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bBP...

Looks like it’s time for our ‘shit on Elon Musk’ week…

Again?

Now I want some orangey text under my words....

I'm sure this will be paid post haste... www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/tesla-must-pay-329-million-in-damages-in-fatal-autopilot-case.html

Episode 2 is out... Here are a couple of the many podcast options: - open.spotify.com/episode/5CRA... - podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l... And as seen on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=paz7nNdnkyk

LBJ's Humpday Podcast Picks for July 30th This week comedy meets politics, a smart new take on street safety, and cinephiles battling over the century’s best films. h/t @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social ‬ @davidzipper.bsky.social @wesmars.bsky.social ‬ @nytimes.com medium.com/@lanrickbenn...

Hate what happened but love the way they wrote this headline... well done @denverpost.com

Josh Max totally sounds like a fake name...

Hear that, urban transport nerds? Take it from Politico! Next livestream of Look Both Ways with David and Wes is this Thursday at 6p ET. Audio recording to follow via podcast platforms (episode 1 is available now). Livestream link: www.youtube.com/live/ZZ633Gc...

Today in "What we all already knew but it's nice to have the numbers," protected bike lanes work better. Researchers at UNM and CU Denver find protected bike lanes see 53% more new commuters than standard bike lanes and 281% over sharrows. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

I got home last night and was very happy to enjoy one of the following cakes... the other was posted yesterday by one of our great local bakeries (www.facebook.com/share/p/1CFd1GwdSi/)
