Take notes: campaigns that include bikes are winners.

“The prudent driver sets the speed not the imprudent driver” Two lane roads restrict antisocial driving behaviors in safe and effective ways. Another though provoking episode of @biketalk.bsky.social. This one crosses the political divide with conversations and voices you might not hear.

"California’s car culture currently thrives on a collective cognitive dissonance and it’s reflected in our infrastructure. We call ourselves environmentalists but allow our transit systems to languish. We remove bike lanes just months after installing them We reject much-needed housing near transit"

DOT is extending its public comment period requesting ideas for the next surface transportation bill, until Sept 8th. Maybe they haven't gotten the comments they want and/or they've gotten too many comments like ours, which they don't want. so send in comments now. bikeleague.org/take-action/...

Secretary Duffy believes the U.S. DOT should NOT be funding bicycle infrastructure. He said “I do think you see more congestion when you add bike lanes and take away vehicle lanes. That’s a problem.” Disagree? Submit Your Comment by by August 20 #bikesky www.votervoice.net/mobile/BikeL...

Zohran’s citibike numbers make me feel like we need to start demanding bike share stats from our politicians in the same way we demand tax returns

Nobody bikes to the hardware store! @Quaxing @americanfietser.bsky.social

Yay!!!

This is both-sides journalism, like we can't find truth. Do bike lanes inevitably cause congestion? Opinions vary. Sorry, not a free article. @cycletoronto.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/w...

I'm not the first person to think of this but I would dearly love a medieval fantasy in the classic style with nothing changed except the bicycle has been invented and everyone rides them.

When complete, East Marginal Way could be the finest industrial bike route in America.

Well said Future Urbanist Club.

Cozy up in your favorite chair or sofa, grab your earbuds, sip a delicious latte, and tune into this weeks Bike Talk episode #2529!

This piece shows a cool pro-bike lane Calgary councillor…But- what’s up with the premiers of Alberta, Nova Scotia and Ontario coming out against bike infrastructure?

we're in.

A new form of ghost bike

That’s so cool! Montreal’s bike share system is rolling out trailers that work on BIXIs as well as personal bikes. They’re hoping to have 50 by the end of the summer, and hundreds over the next few years.

I think this is most places.

Chicago’s vote to totally eliminate parking mandates near train stations is a great response to our city’s housing crisis and traffic woes. chi.streetsblog.org/2025/07/18/c... @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social @stevevance.net @abundanthousingil.bsky.social @activetransporter.bsky.social @ctaction.org

Having seen the congestion, safety, and emergency access arguments deployed against bike lanes in literally hundreds of places, why have we not developed a little guidebook or something on how to deal with them?

This morning we gathered with friends, family, and neighbors to honor Blake. He was killed by a driver while riding on Fountain Avenue in West Hollywood. We will honor his memory by continuing to fight for safer streets for everyone.

Great article about NYC’s concern for e-bike speeds, and maybe in a follow-up we’ll learn why that concern doesn’t apply to car speeds. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/15/e...

"Return the Posey Tube to two-way car traffic!...The Webster tube could be repurposed for bikes and buses! That would move far more people for far less money! ...it would provide a superior, environmentally progressive connection for bus riders and cyclists (and even pedestrians)!" (!s added)

Who has better fans than this?

In our last episode, we talked to bike activists in two cities who made their own bike lanes with opposite results. soundcloud.com/biketalk/252... @pattybikes.com @cascadebicycleclub.bsky.social @merlinrain.bsky.social @seattlebikeblog.com #bikesky

These are the bikes I keep being impressed and amazed by in NYC! So this is how they come into being… @workersjusticep.bsky.social projects.thecity.nyc/delivery-wor... ‘No One Else Has a Bike Like Mine’: How Deliveristas Trick Out Their Rides - THE CITY

It's amazing how the government is still saying they're doing it to "get people out of traffic." By the way, good job @cycletoronto.bsky.social ! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I have wondered how possible a solar bike is…definitely more possible than a solar car…so here’s an answer.

Is our culture waking up to the fact that kids used to be free to bike? Or are these articles in @laist.com and @theatlantic.com (www.theatlantic.com/family/archi... ) coincidence? laist.com/news/los-ang... #bikesky

The judge said no one has to be consulted before ripping up the Bedford protected lanes because it's not a major modification. This means every bike lane can be made protected without telling anyone, too. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/09/b... @nyc.streetsblog.org
