Bike Week at Huntsman WSG 2025 Well over 10,000 athletes, representing 36 countries, descended on St. George, Utah, for the annual World Senior Games. Cycling was but one of several dozen Olympic-style events. Three days of road bike races would determine the […] [Original post on sfba.social]

@bikenite #BikeTooter I can't ride due to COVID, but my brain has cleared enough for some light reading. Any Bob Roll fans out there? (Certainly, there are those who can't stand him - it's hard to be neutral.) And yes, I'd rather be #Coffeeneuring @coffeeneuring […] [Original post on sfba.social]

@coffeeneuring Coffeeneuring Challenge Ride 1 My theme within a theme is #CoffeeDog. The couple ahead of me at Wingen Bakery had a dog. I asked if I could say. While I was paying attention to Casey-Rose, the barista said, "It's Todd, right, do you want a red-eye […] [Original post on sfba.social]

In February 1968, CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite, having just returned from a two-week fact-finding trip to Vietnam, said in a special TV report that the war was ‘mired in a stalemate’ and a US victory was not possible. Negotiations, he said, were the only way […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Bike trail design question: This parking lot sits on top of an abandoned rail corridor. Below and above it are mixed use trail sections, so the middle of this parking lot sees a lot of bike usage. Parallel roads on either side are higher stress. Is there an […] [Original post on sfba.social]

My local @indivisibleteam has done great work on #teslatakedown - impressive here where every street has many Tesla owners. My local group believes we have to be on X, FB, and Insta. Now that we have a dedicated social media person, I haven't seen any Bluesky posts (the bridg.gy is working) […]

Hey GIS mapping friends. I was a StoryMaps user for years for blogs, but the platform went away and I can't migrate to ArcGIS because I use a Chromebook (it's all I need). BTW, everything I ever wrote has been deleted. What do you think of Felt? It seems built for online-only users like me. I […]

New study (longitudinal data!): protected bike lanes *cause* people to take up cycling as their way to commute. Painted bike lanes have no discernible effects. ROI on protected bike lanes is the highest of all bike infrastructure. Who could possibly have imagined it, eh 🤣 […]

Climate Change 2025... An unrealistic ‘wall of dust’ is barreling across Chicago — so vast, it’s visible from space. Satellite imagery shows the storm swallowing highways and buildings, plunging the city of 2.6 million people into darkness. It has triggered […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

In my day job, I work for a media company that focuses on the toy industry. Apropos of nothing, I decided to add the Mastodon plushie (aka #plushtodon) to the latest products on our Toy Insider website. Please boost this so our editors will frustratingly tell me to stop trying to make Mastodon […]

Bicycling is a transportation issue and it's a public health issue. We're a stronger, safer, healthier nation when more people can safely ride their bikes. That's why we're alarmed about reports that the CDC's mission-focused work of preventing chronic disease may be eliminated.

Happy Earth Day! Here's your sign to take a moment today to go outside, hop on your bike, and take a moment to appreciate the nature around you. Read our Earth Day blog to get inspired: bikeleague.org/small-rides-...

A super useful thread on what to do now that the GOP has a framework for reconciliation.

Bloomberg: "Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner announced that he is leaving his job Wednesday as the #Trump administration threatens to pull back on funding"

18 years ago, Canada’s oldest national newspaper, the Globe and Mail (which tends to be centre-right), published this issue on climate science, impacts, and solutions. The editor-in-chief’s letter was titled “The environment will be the single most important issue of 2007.”

“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.” -Elon Musk, March 6, 2025 “In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was […]

Yay! Our amazing vibrant @indivisibleeb.bsky.social group was featured on Maddow showing up in Oakland demanding @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social stand up against the Musk/Trump regime. @maddow.msnbc.com

Rachel Maddow tells Hakeem Jeffries directly: "It feels like we are in the middle of a Ketamine-fueled middle of the night autocratic power grab that is rendering Congress and policy irrelevant, and making the rule of law an afterthought if not a joke." 25 min version: brittain.tech/maddow224.mp4

Thank you Rep @ericswalwell.bsky.social for your town hall. We with Livermore @indivisible.org ask you to do everything to stop cut for Safety net funding and illegal DOGE activities. Republicans have to pass the funding on their own (they have trifecta) without Dem votes.
