"It may not look like much, but it'll make point 5 past lightspeed."

Given how large it loomed in my driver's ed class, I assumed that PCP would be a bigger part of the conversation as an adult.

NBC's tagline for the Olympics is: "For two weeks, we're all on the same team." It really implies a, "...and after those two weeks things will be even more nightmarish." It's...a bit sad, no?

If you watch the video of this crash, it is 1000% clear that the driver was not "avoiding a cyclist," as some initially claimed. She clearly blew through the light at 35+, swerved to avoid cross traffic with a green light, and smashed through the building entrance. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=925...

If you can please join the app and throw a few bucks their way while you're at it. It's basically the cost of a streaming service and goes towards creating a safe network for everyone (remember a robust bike network isn't just for bikes). This is really a valuable tool for the East Bay community.

Is it actually possible for police to write about traffic crashes without sounding like racist robots?

For the 2nd time in a couple weeks, Marin residents are banding together to simply buy a property to stop a development there. www.marinij.com/2026/02/05/s...

I’m really interested in seeing how this app does around Vancouver.

Need this for Atlanta!! @mayorofmarta.bsky.social’s bike routes map is great for trip planning, but we need something better for actual navigation

nice work bring done in the 510!!! Bravo

Love it!

Man, if BART ceased operations, I would literally consider leaving the Bay. So much of my QoL is based around BART existing. If you see people gathering signatures, sign the petition! And vote yes this November to save transit! It's gotta happen!

Hey East Bay bike riders, I wanted to share something I've been helping with The Android/iOS app "Bike Streets" is a navigation app that is built around a network curated by people who actually ride. This means the directions it gives won't throw you onto a terrifying 4-lane road, like Google Maps

Goodness, what a tragedy. We need sidewalk bollards everywhere yesterday!

Why do police report on crashes like this? Like, they wouldn't do a post about gun violence with snazzy font that said, "MAJOR SCHOOL SHOOTING" I'm not sure what my main point here is, but there is worrying level of insensitivity here.

Freedom for kids is great. Freedom for parents is great. Running into neighbors who say "I love seeing your son riding his bike to school, the way it used to be!" is priceless.

I just noticed that the Caltrans-owned school zone crossing of Ashby Ave/Ellis St clearly *used* to have r1-6 paddle signs that apparently Caltrans grew tired of replacing.

America: where the alignments of $100B transportation projects are chosen based on whether a chain store would have to be relocated.

What people need to understand is that safe bike infrastructure means not only freedom for kids, but *freedom for their parents*. I just met a captain at San Quentin whose kid rides 3.5 miles to middle school every day. A parent doing drop-off and pick-up would spend 60 more minutes in the car.

Every city that I know of that’s established an in-house team to deliver ‘missing middle’ small-capital projects has had huge success.

Followers of this space may remember that one of the Bay Conservation and Development commissions was also in his car when he voted to close the RSR Bridge multiuse path. I'm sensing a theme.

In a fascinating union of two of my interests, it turns out that the technology that built the special effects of star wars (motion control) was invented by UC Berkeley to research how Marin residents would react to development proposals if they could see realistic video renderings.

stephen miller told me woke 2 keeps eating his prosecutors so I asked how many prosecutors he has and he said he just goes to twitter and begs people to apply to become federal prosecutors so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding prosectors to woke 2 and then kristi noem started crying

The e-moto boys have come to Berkeley. I just saw two 12-year-olds on Sur-rons ripping at 20 mph on the sidewalk.

Drivers: "I know I almost hit you and your kid in a crosswalk. But I did wave, so I think that we're even."

Please take 30 seconds to sign this petition urging better off-road bike and ADA-accessible trails on Mount Diablo! actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

Another setback for the Oak Hill project, as lead concentrations 360 times(!) the allowable limit were found at the site. Apparently the state is offering an expedited clean-up - several months vs the typical year and half - since there is funding about to expire. www.marinij.com/2026/02/03/l...

The Super Bowl has led to an appropriate number of bollards being deployed in San Francisco. Should be like this all the time, imo.

North San Rafael was totally fogged in this morning at 930. Super spooky.

When this sidewalk gap on Andersen Dr in San Rafael gets fixed, I'll be able to take credit.

Being (almost) 40 means having tennis elbow for literally no reason whatsoever.

Great job on the RSR Bridge shuttle headway management, MTC! No notes!

Incredible. @bryanculbertson.com noting that AC Transit operators are forced to cover the Clipper readers with their hand for the first minute the system boots up in order to avoid a system crash.

ICE agents here are saying that people were "threatening them with handguns," by which they *literally mean,* "hand guns." As in, making a gun with your hand. 👉🏻

Womp womp. Apparently the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association-backed "Save Prop 13" initiative failed to qualify for the June ballot. 🤣 www.abc10.com/article/ente...

Hoboken has: 1) No freeway interchanges 2) Few multi-lane streets 3) Small blocks 4) 60k population in 1.25 sq mi (a little smaller than Emeryville So it seems like the recipe for Vision Zero is to smash the freeways, road diet everything, & build dense housing.

But please tell me again how zoning reform does not result in more housing being built.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Did the handyman redoing our neighbor's stairs really have to use crime scene tape?

This family's blood is on the hands of the LA City Council and former Mayor Eric Garcetti. There's just no other way to put it.

Apparently they applied some non-skid paint on Saturday that was not drying properly. Staff intended to indicate that it was open Sunday, but the alert got "stuck in the outbox" for some reason, and they resent it after my prompting. Anyway, the east sidewalk has been open since Sunday.

Leftists in '25: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '26: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '27: We're not voting for Gavin Leftists in '28: We're not voting for Gavin Gavin in '28: *loses the general against a JD Vance/Erika Kirk ticket* Liberals in '28: Why would leftists do this? 😡

"Wake up, babe. A new NIMBY group just dropped."

It feels like we should at least get a month free after all this time.

Me every night after the kids are asleep and I have to choose between work and reading my sci-fi novel.

9 out of 10 scientists agree that climate change is real and a huge threat. So here is why we are platforming one guy who says the opposite!

The 3-year-old, pointing at our neighbor's Cybertruck: "Daddy, why are some cars pointy and other cars smooth?" Me, after a very deep breath: "Well now, once upon a time there was an agency called NHTSA..."

The idea that being on an arterial means being close to transit has always been a bald faced lie that enables classist, racist zoning. Anyone who thinks about the geometry for 2 seconds can see through it!

My dear wife has an inscrutable knack for unintentionally setting things down in incredibly precarious ways. I came home yesterday to find she had achieved a new personal best.

WSDOT: Hi SEPA we want to build a massive "diverging diamond" interchange on I-90 at SR-18 to facilitate additional sprawl is that cool? SEPA: Sounds fine to me City of Seattle: Hey SEPA, we'd like to allow people to build more homes in the heart of our city SEPA: Slow down just a minute fella
