Besides the less traffic, which is awesome, it also means there's less garbage being pumped into the air. This is a tangible, real effect of creating more bike lanes in cities. This is a very

Taking the whole lane ✔️ Distracted (singing) ✔️ No helmets ✔️ No lights ✔️ No reflective vests ✔️ Riding in a pack ✔️ The textbook radical anti-car cyclists our culture despises.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

"...for every 30-second increase in traffic delay per mile traveled, there was a 1% increase in visits to fast food restaurants. While that may not seem like a lot, the researchers estimate that over a year, it amounts to about 1.2 million more fast food meals in Los Angeles."

The worse traffic gets, the more fast food people eat
The longer commutes get, the more people stop and get fast food on the way home. Which means ending gridlock could have far-reaching public health implications.

People tell me to be safe while biking, and while I appreciate it, what I'd really appreciate is people going a step further and pondering *why* they think biking is unsafe. Because then they'd have to grapple with the fact that we've designed our society to make biking "dangerous" for many people.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

If you drive in winter, the most pro-social thing you can do is just have patience. Slow down. Wait for pedestrians. Wait for cyclists. Park farther away and walk if you need to in order to keep bike lanes and bus stops and crosswalks clear. You’re in a mobile living room, you’ll be fine.

It would be a HUGE shame if anyone were to spread that far and wide, and people used it to make spurious reports. Lots of them. I would absolutely not be in favor of that, because it would be unethical and mean. So don't do that. Nuh uh.
