A new analysis finds that "the highway lobby employs hundreds of lobbyists, spends over $100 million every year, uses a full suite of advocacy tactics, and brings along public officials to keep us all in a car-dependent transportation system." UCS's @kevshen.bsky.social breaks it down in his blog:

We didn't run a special Bike Bus yesterday, and that's mostly down to me being a bit burned out with everything generally, but some aspects of Bike Bus specifically. Any other ride leaders struggling to muster your same enthusiasm?

Should I start a newsletter

Found our master ring of bike lock keys after being lost in our apartment wilderness for 6 months! The purest sense of relief I’ve felt in 2026.

I'm something of a strava artist myself.

When I was a city transpo planner, if I spoke out on something another part of the city was doing, I’d be reprimanded at a minimum. Heck, if I spoke out on what a neighboring city was doing, it would be a breach of professional courtesy, and I’d limit my career. But fire and police can just vibe.

All I do is win win win at swim signups

Peabody Bike Bus still rollin!!!

This may be Cambridge’s last large-scale opportunity to build more city, and it is blowing it. It starts with the proposed 4,600 (!) parking spaces in yet more above ground garages, but that’s not all.

Playing with School of Honk at Wake Up the Earth, and @markey.senate.gov shows up to dance!!!

Such a huge loss. A champion in car racing, lost both legs above the knee in a crash, and became a multiple gold medalist in handcycling. Always smiling. www.bbc.com/sport/formul...

Co-sign. Cod in fish and chips is tradition, but catfish is just a better tastier fish. Tilapia too.

Swapping a brake lever on this Bird ebike requires removing and then reinstalling the power button and fishing its connector through the handlebar. I hate Bird.

He’s gonna rename it Trump Air II isn’t he

By my count, there are about 38 household on my block, and at least six have cargobikes (just saw a neighbor roll by on a new Tenways bakfiets). Loving it.

Given Spirit’s on-time record, maybe 5 AM ish

I can’t believe* that Cambridge entitled a six-level parking garage within sight of an Alewife T entrance. What a wasteful blight.

I am not a financial advisor, yadda yadda, but I would submit to you fine people that it's never been a better time-- not since February 2020 or, you know, some time in 2008- to reallocate a BUNCH of your investment assets, if you have them, into fixed-income, bonds, β<1, or even β<0 products.

Massachusetts somehow threaded the needle of incompetency that gave us a dumb privacy-compromising law that somehow DIDN'T rid us of Meta platforms.

And imagine how many more bridges states could replace if they didn’t scale each one to meet some ridiculous traffic forecast.
