There is a real bike detour while work is being done at Skyline Park. This is good stuff Denver DOTI.

Another sobering reminder that sometimes truth is bullshit. Insane bullshit in this case.

The trends are clear, we need to build more safe infrastructure for people that have to or choose to bike.

Just another reminder that paint isn't protection when it comes to providing safe spaces for people outside of cars.

Day made! It’s super fun to be able to walk into my local bike shop here in Colorado, @HardtFamilyCyclery, and walk out with a copy of my favorite Dutch publication, Carrier. Shout out to Jos and the team at @cargobikefest.bsky.social 🙌

One thing that is on my mind this morning: There is a dangerous counterfactual attack on e-bikes all across the US right now and there are no bike companies or bike orgs pushing back with clear storytelling to combat it. A multi-billion dollar industry without a clear comms strategy.

Oof, bill in Iowa would ban bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, wheelchairs, strollers, skateboards, and other devices from roads with speed limits above 25 mph www.bikeiowa.com/Feature/2118... If you live in Iowa, or visit for RAGBRAI or other reasons, look to the Iowa Bicycle Coalition for next steps

I should not, on Feb 1, in Denver Colorado, be able to step into my back yard and pick a fresh salad, yet here we are 😵‍💫

Meanwhile in #Denver. Such a disappointment :( denverstreetspartnership.org/mayors-repor...

It's honestly wild that Denver presented a road diet plan as being "good" for ped safety back in December but now says that same plan would only have "moderate" safety benefits Yet, the new plan for a weird, unbalanced partial road diet with more lanes of thru traffic is rated as "good" for safety🤣

The American people are done with forever wars. Congress must stop this President’s reckless military adventurism.

Can confirm from personal experience. Five years later (plus 2 days as a point of fact) I can look back with certainty knowing I never would have made it without what affectionately became known to all of us as 'my care team' ❤️

Well shit :(.

Along with our partners at Obvio, we released alarming findings from a landmark Colorado driver behavior study. Read the press release: https://ow.ly/yTZL50Y0mTN View the full study: https://ow.ly/Sf0f50Y0mTL

All wheel drive on my cargobike comes in pretty handy on days like this

This🙌 It's easy to tell when I'm driving in the Denver metro area - my going the speedlimit (or just under to really piss 'em off) creates such a backup I'm at the front end of a big yellow line on google maps 😎

Symptom

Note that congestion pricing has reduced serious crashes while speeding up traffic. Normally there is a tradeoff. But congestion pricing lets cities have their cake and eat it too.

Opinion | "We built a transportation system that requires everyone to drive everywhere for everything. And now, our endless-lane model is collapsing under the weight of its own inefficiency. " https://www.westword.com/opinion/opinion-no-more-highway-lanes-for-colorado-40825034/

"The real question for Mayor Johnston is this: How many lives is Denver willing to sacrifice to preserve driver convenience? So far in 2025, we have lost 87 people — and counting." www.westword.com/opinion/sacr...

As the Co-Chair of the DOTI Advisory Board, I don’t take criticizing the Mayor lightly. But we just hit the highest number ever of people killed in traffic crashes in Denver, and it’s not a priority for Mayor Johnston. Something needed to be said. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/17/d...

Thanks for this story @stinasieg.bsky.social . This photo of Mr. Jackson is amazing 🙌 www.cpr.org/2025/12/15/m...

Giant gold star for whoever pulled this off to welcome @thewaroncars.bsky.social to town🙌

“We have asked people to show up to public meetings, give their time and give honest feedback. If this is how we’re going to operate, we should just stop holding public meetings because it’s not fair to the citizens of the city,” “Trust is broken.” www.denver7.com/news/local-n...

Excellent reporting thread by a Denver resident whose only 'skin in the game' is a desire to not get killed riding their bike. If only folks that chose to walk or ride bikes had a billionaire or two on the standby, imagine how different our world might look :(

It's not just cutting traffic, it’s cleaning the air. A new Cornell study found that in the first six months of NYC's congestion pricing: 💨 Air pollution dropped by 22% in the core Manhattan zone. 🌳 The benefits spread to all five boroughs AND the suburbs! news.cornell.edu/stories/2025...

To summarize: See Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown. I’m certain he can trust her this tome 😵‍💫 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

If you think pedestrians and cyclists, don’t particularly like sharing the road with drivers, wait till you meet other drivers. Drivers are probably the most anti-driver people out there.

She's doing that monotone word salad thing she does when she's lying

Understatement

Outstanding reporting on some absolute political bullshit happening in Denver right now. Thank for the coverage @denverite.bsky.social . Powerful photos @kevinjbeaty.bsky.social 🙌

Denver is really good at doing studies and making plans. If you want the city to do better at actually *implementing* those plans, please consider supporting the Denver Streets Partnership for #ColoradoGivesDay. Donate today at www.coloradogives.org/story/gtnd5f

Drivers: I couldn’t see you, it was raining Drivers: I couldn’t see you, there was frost on my windows Drivers: I couldn’t see you, it was dark Drivers: I couldn’t see you, the sun was in my eyes Also drivers: I never see anyone using that bike lane, let’s rip it out.

Yay! Some good news in the NYT today ❤️. Well done @modacitylife.com www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/h...

Hey #BikeSky! Can you help me with an art project I’m working on? If you’re part of a local bike group that has stickers, can you mail me 3 of them? As long as they mention your city or state, or they have a social media handle that people can follow to see what state you’re in.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Shout it from the mountain tops 🙌

Sometimes roadside rubbish can trigger a tsunami of feelings. Me from a few years ago: keithsbikeblog.com/2022/03/21/r...

Wow

Nobody should have to experience the loss of their loved one in traffic violence. Like you, we are worried about the safety of our kids, spouses, parents, friends & ourselves when we bike. You can make Colorado a safer place to bike & protect lives today: https://bit.ly/BicycleColoradoCGD

Out in the neighborhood quickly rounding up compost leaves before the HOA committee assigned to other people’s business determines this to be rogue behavior 😂 #cargobike for another win 🙌

Here’s an old Halloween reminder that bikes are joyful. Sound on❤️. Dinosaur was a complete stranger to me (of delightfully questionable judgement 😂)

This is great news!! Trying to look thru the ads was demoralizing.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)

Yes please.

Slightly out of the frame (on left) but a FedEx trucks ran through a stop sign while a woman is pushing a stroller through the crosswalk. It feels like many drivers treat our basic traffic laws as optional now in Denver. We need more automated enforcement.

"They need to focus much more attention on the major arterials that are part of the high injury network. It also requires political will because we are talking about changing the way our streets look and feel, and that inevitably creates some resistance or pushback.”

CAR-CRAZY FACT OF THE DAY. Every 24 hours, US drivers run over 15 children in parking lots and driveways. jalopnik.com/u-s-drivers-...
