We pre-taped Episode 23, so it feels like it's been way too long since David & I talked... If you feel the same way, join us today at 6 PM EST for a live taping of Episode 24!

Drunk guy and his drunk buddy stumble out of bar in Broad Ripple. Finds parking ticket on his car, because he parked in metered parking space right in front of said bar. Complains loudly about how the city takes his money again, in addition to the taxes he already pays. Drives drunkly home.

What's up Bloomington, IN mayor? Why do you suck? Your small college city is ideal for a section of bike and pedestrian blocks.

Giant pickup trucks and tank-like SUVs are a dangerous scourge. They need to be heavily regulated and the drivers should have specialized commercial vehicle driver training.

Hmm. Direct flight to the Northeast. I can go ride trains and such. Won't say more because my Midwestern breathern will take offense.

This is important for Indianapolis. We desperately need locally generated infrastructure funds to invest in, upgrade, & make our streets safer. Due to a bargain with the (anti city) state legislature, the funds will match state money. That state money comes from Indy in the first place.

Was getting interviewed on Indy transportation and road safety topics (twice today, different issues) and thought, "Would they publish it if I said things are buggered at the state and federal level. We are unable to fix it at the local level with that much dysfunction."

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Pee before reading this!

Oh. This is not good. This is very not good. Another reason for @teslatakedown.com to include SpaceX.

Imagine. A stroller full of bricks. Improved crosswalk yielding and enforcement mechanism in the same tidy package.

It could be today.

What if sidewalk blocking e-scooters were regularly relocated to centerline crosswalk traffic calming features? Win 🏆 win, right?

@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

Heads up NITE Ride fans, the jersey pre-order deadline is May 31st. mailchi.mp/centralincyc...

A nasty anti trans scribble popped up on an Indy greenway sign. 5yo neice and I engaged in her first coverup graffiti. No photo because technically not legal. She thought it was super fun!

And yes, it gets worse. Having worked professionally and voluntarily to address climate change (and coming chaos), this kind of crap is really disheartening. Please vote, and register to vote if you're not. There's a whole army of bums that need to be shown the door.

If Indianapolis is really going for #VisionZero, reducing fatal and severe crashes, shouldn't we address dangerous motor vehicles: - Prohibiting dangerous modifications - high bumpers, ram bars (w/ enforcement) - Putting a higher wheel tax on oversized non-commercial SUVs and pickup trucks

Amazing weather this week for Bike to Work breakfast meetups in Indy.

The attacks on transit at the federal level are unbelievably bad for jobs access and mobility. Attacking transit is another way to force car-depencency, increase pollution, encourage sprawl, and increase costs for those with the least margin to handle that inflation.

This is how they always win. They win bigger and harder when you lose and people die.

Join hundreds of bike loving friends at Guggman Haus on May 3rd, 1-4pm for Bike Fest! Plenty of room. Live music. Outdoor patio. Beer, coffee, tea, cider, wine, and free apps.

The stock market is not the economy. Also, WTF stock market? Irrational much? Been shifting a higher % into more conservative investments over the past year. Because this market feels like a bubble. Fuel prices up is generally bad.

This is bad for Indiana public health and quality of life, especially for those most vulnerable.

Bike to Vote. Social ride and early primary voting today, 5/2, in Indy. centralincycling.org/ride/bike-to... @centralincycling.org

May is when we shift into a higher gear. It is impressive how much is going on between @visitindy.bsky.social's Trailmixer Festival and all the Bike Month rides and gatherings.

So much going on today and this week on the Greater Indy greenways. Check out the Trailmixer Festival calendar and get outside! thetrailways.com/trailmixer/ @centralincycling.org @visitindy.bsky.social @mirrorindy.org #HealthyFun #Community #ActiveTransportation

Well deserved and overdue!

The incompetence is seeping into all the facets of federal govt. The suck expands.

Not owning a car means I rent a car on occasion for longer trips. They're always new low mileage vehicles. That's a nice perk. Wish hybrids and EVs were standard options, but that's likely going to be an issue for a few more years in the US.

Even in a backwards state like Indiana (where much of the state's power is still fossil fueled), individuals can choose 100% renewable for their home or business power supply. If your supplier is AES Indiana, here's the link. www.aesindiana.com/green-power Collectively, we can speed up the shift.

"In early April, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index tanked to a record low of 47.6, down from 53.3 in March. This is the lowest reading since the survey began in 1952..." This is bad for the markets, no? finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman...

These huge cars don’t belong on our streets. Wish we would have the same strategy here. www.ft.com/content/3eb7...

In the lawsuit, Sheriff Marté argues that the law violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by holding people without a judicial warrant or probable cause of committing a crime. DETAILS | 🔗https://tinyurl.com/2u3dh8ax 

Need something fun and light with good people? Pedal to the Pacers on Sunday, April 12th. Bikes + basketball = awesome! www.nba.com/pacers/ticke...

I contacted both of my Indiana Senators today, asking them to get onto the right side of history. They haven't listened to any prior contacts about Executive power abuses and congressional ineptitude / complicity, but I'm going to keep shouting into that void.

He's crashing markets on Monday to bring them back up on Tuesday. Classic taco 🌮. This is the chaotic crap we get from a self enriching nut job and his insider trading cronies. Merry Taco to all who hate this crud. And yes, it can get worse.

Who else has champagne 🍾 chilling?

Volunteering makes us feel better, right? Lots of opportunities to chip in. mailchi.mp/centralincyc... 🚲 #Volunteering #Community #ActiveTransportation #HealthyFun #SafeStreets #BikeRides

Maybe, today is the day. I'm going to bed with hope.

The Indy cycling and events calendar ramps up big time in April! Spread the word. mailchi.mp/centralincyc... #ActiveTransportation #HealthyFun #SafeStreets #Community #Sustainability #WhatGasPrices

Had a chance to stop by No Kings New Orleans. Great energy! Uniting folks across multiple causes.

This is a real life take.

This concept of exceptionalism is wild for anyone who actually keeps an eye on metrics of success, happiness and health. It seems more like American desperation. Making messes to hide failure.

First day in the 80s. All the loser dorks have their fart cars out today, enjoying those high gas prices. Vroooomm blatblatblatttt kapow blatblatblattt. I think even higher gas prices are what they deserve - and that's on the way.

The oil barons realize that this stupid war is likely damaging long term their production and pushing countries toward wind, solar, smaller EVs, and nuclear, right?

Can I get an order of those Hormuz tacos? 🌮 😋

Spent hours researching 17 fatal crashes, attended my first Indy Fatal Crash Review Team meeting, spent 3 hrs discussing safety interventions --- then almost none of the interventions were put in the recommendations. That includes, no traffic calming or speed reducing recommendations.

Parking minimums are stupid.

Can Friday be the day? Please.
