My last four days: * Friday, 20 miles at Critical Mass on the gravel bike * Saturday, 41 miles to/from Stone Mtn. with a roadie group * Sunday, 12 miles, two mountain-bike loops at Ft. Yargo State Park * Today, 8.5 early-a.m. miles running errands on the e-bike. My legs are sore! But I'm happy.

First Bluesky post, Hall of Fame division.

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets. He'll make a great mayor

An all-timer today in the "don't be nice, be predictable" sweepstakes when interacting with drivers on the road as a cyclist. So I'm waiting for a break in traffic in order to pedal out from my driveway, and a car stops dead in the road. I stare at it, trying to determine intent.

📣 Come visit Propel ATL's booth at Atlanta Streets Alive this Sunday, 2-6 p.m.! ⁉️ "Where's my project?" is the powerful question we're asking ahead of the May 20 Atlanta Department of Transportation budget briefing and May 21 public hearing. We’ll have two interactive ways for you to engage:

Yet another cool milestone on my ebike. Roughly 95% of these miles (over the last 15 months) directly replace car trips.

One of the best pieces of local reporting over the last year (if not THE best.) Thrilled to see it recognized and (belatedly!) making some waves.

@urbanizeatl.bsky.social Not sure who needs to get this but the "magic link" login is not working. I put in my (pre-registered) email, get the email with the link, then when I click I am told that it's an invalid link.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

The regime is clearing out everyone in the military who's not a loyalist in preparation for martial law. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Enjoying pregame at @atlutd17.bsky.social with my youngest! #UniteAndConquer

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me. Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

Best iteration of this meme ever. (Credit: pikachu_922 in @thewaroncars.bsky.social Discord)

@lathburyjason.bsky.social Apparently we were in the same room but I managed to avoid meeting you. Happy Georgia Transit Day, Jason!

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

This is why we can't have nice things, and why @thewaroncars.bsky.social is becoming less of a tongue-in-cheek title with each passing day. So GA DOT literally installed this RRFB (on-demand pedestrian crossing signal) two weeks ago.

We currently have... *checks notes*... ONE of these projects under construction. So we gave MARTA a pile of extra money for basically nothing.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity. He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud. Which of course is fucking crazy.

Most cyclists in Atlanta know exactly where this spot is. I hit it at the exact right time this morning. #sunrise

Hit-and-run asshole driver took out two mailboxes, street signs and a fire hydrant on my street, knocking out water service to about six streets. But hey, what can you expect when we build our society around minimally trained people operating heavy machinery with minimal licensing? #CarsRuinCities

Posting client content on my personal account is way better than posting personal content on my client's account... amirite? Anyway, I'd be re-posting this anyway, so here it is again.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

This is the way.

Tune in TODAY, March 6, to WABE, 90.1 FM, to hear Propel ATL executive director Rebecca Serna and activist Satya Bhan on "Closer Look" with Rose Scott. The topic: "The Human Cost of Mobility," our annual look at traffic crashes, their systemic causes, and potential solutions.

@letspropelatl.bsky.social has a new report out today exploring traffic fatalities in 2023 across Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties. They found 45% of crashes involving pedestrians happened within 150 feet of a bus station: www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

Rode my ebike down to the Georgia State Capitol to join @sairaforgeorgia.bsky.social to rally support for our public health workers at the CDC, and to call on state leaders to grow a spine and push back against indiscriminate cuts by "DOGE." I can't believe I gotta rally for this sh*t...

It was nice to be in her corner, cheering, for just one day. Apparently one day is all you get.

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

in his statement "cancelling" congestion pricing, sean duffy calls people who ride the subway "an elite few" and i just feel as a communication professional that they gotta decide if they're going with that or crime-ridden drug den homeless shelter

Here we go. Trump is moving to kill NYC congestion pricing (which is working spectacularly well). USDOT is trying to pull federal permits that have already been given. Very much an open question how this will unfold.

❤️❤️❤️

So much winning.

These fucking idiots are firing the air-traffic controllers!

The assumption that drivers don't have to pay attention to their surroundings when they aren't in motion is a big problem.

Thanks, I hate it.

"Suppressing disease studies to own the libs."

I wrote about the great Don Shoup, who was the kind of person you'd go to for an answer to a single question about parking and come away with 20 more story ideas about how to fix everything in LA

Got an email about the annual FAFSA filing for my college-attending daughter. Immediately got into an online chat with a Dept. of Ed. agent to voice concerns about data security and privacy with DOGE's Muskrats pillaging government servers. I suggest everyone in a similar situation do the same.

Some absolute HERO used packing tape to keep the beg button pressed at the Bill Kennedy Way / Memorial Drive pedestrian scramble. The only thing wrong with this is that I didn't think to do it first.

This is insane. How is offering resources for communities working to ensure fewer people are killed on streets and roads a partisan political issue? Yet here we are. smartgrowthamerica.org/federal-acti...

Georgia Department of Transportation has proposed two safety-enhancing projects -- one along East College Avenue (SR 10) in Decatur and Avondale, and another along 14th Street (SR 9) in the City of Atlanta. Each project includes new bike lanes and pedestrian safety improvements.

The fact that so many people learned about Tulsa from HBO's "Watchmen" (and originally incorrectly assumed it to be fiction) was absolutely eye-opening.

The guy who once said this is now overseeing and approving USAID's illegal, unconstitutional destruction. Shame on you, Sec. Rubio!
