Nothing to see here, just your average experience on Route 8 (thanks @juanjpg.bsky.social for the video!) • Bus takes 16 minutes to go one block • Riders give up halfway and just start walking • 2 other buses manage to catch up in the meantime

Stone Way N sure looks like it has plenty of space for some protected bike lanes to/from Green Lake. One of the many great examples of how good we are at wasting space for the personal vehicle while so many who cycle this roadway endure the looming dangers from cars.

Seattle should legalize more housing options like this so more friends can live with each other on less land www.fastcompany.com/91334548/in-...

Biking home from elementary school dropoff past the local middle school. Doors being flung open on our right. Left lane is cars coming off the freeway ramp and still going fast. In the afternoon, we have to navigate this with our 7- and 8-yr-olds bikers trying to get home. #oakland #claremont

One of the best examples of intergenerational housing I've seen in North America. 4 generations, 4 homes, 1 lot. Vancouver family builds own private neighborhood. youtube.com/watch?v=A0Ut...

Dropped some truthbombs about cars on teevee today.

Hey cargo bike folks! 🚲 There’s a new online hub at cargobikelife.community.forum, where we can share tips, stories, and resources about e-cargo bikes. It’s designed to bring us together as a community and make it easier for newcomers to learn about the lifestyle. 💡 1/3

How much of downtown Seattle is just queueing space for the freeway?

Sheffield’s first ‘Dutch-style’ roundabout has opened. Compared to installing traffic signals, the design is safer for pedestrians and cyclists, causes less delay to people driving, and creates more green space. www.facebook.com/share/v/18e3...

With a budget of almost half a billion dollars for the Montlake lid, you'd think that WSDOT would have installed some big flashing 'No Turn on Red' signs.

GOOD NEWS: SDOT has initiated a planning study to extend the 5th Avenue protected bike lane along the eastern edge of Seattle Center. Currently, it's a major gap in the network.

Looking at Seattle's zoning capacity, just 9.7% of the 215,000+ potential homes that could currently be built are located in neighborhoods with the best access to downtown: Queen Anne, Madison Valley, Magnolia, Leschi. Meanwhile 26% are north of 85th Street. This is a recipe for more driving.

Toronto showed up tonight and put Ford and his government on notice. This is just the beginning.

The corner market, pub, coffee shop, restaurant, or cafe is a defining characteristic of old neighborhoods and provided a place for neighbors to meet each other. Zoning largely prohibits these types of businesses, depressing social interaction that benefits our health.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV. Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

If your city couldn’t avoid making a huge city-damaging mistake, then do the next best thing – remove the mistake, and repair your city. Like #Utrecht Netherlands did. (via @bicycledutch.bsky.social)

Vancouver knows what’s up. 🔥🔥🔥 First “The Discussion” posters spotted.

Now this is a pup that travels in style

Seattle Fire just responded to Stone Way N between N 38th and 39th Street to a driver hitting someone on a bike. The cyclist was transported to the hospital.

Cities aren’t crowded. They’re just full of cars.
