Google Maps should have an e-bike choice for route planning and ETA.

SDPD are enforcing the ebike ban on Mission Beach Boardwalk. In the video they ticket an older man on a pedal assist bike and another guy just hauling his surfboard to the beach. There are no bike lanes on the only parallel street, Mission Blvd. #bikesky

The Marina Is For Everybody is an incredible sign in its own right, but especially so when deployed in opposition to a new housing project in a census tract where the median household income is ~$250k/yr, and average home values are $2,000,000+

Over 4,500 bike lane obstructions were reported to our mobile app last month

Whenever residents ask their city not to remove parking spots, not to build bike lanes or bus lanes, or to include parking in new developments, they’re promoting a fossil fuel economy. They might not realize it, but they just are

Yes, so please fund our rapid bus expansion so the city will have no excuse 🙏

It's disheartening seeing the almost inevitable GoFundMe links after pedestrian deaths or serious injuries. So many systems failing people all at once.

can't make this up

I’m doing research for a video project on confronting traffic offenders. I want to hear your stories on situations where you gave feedback to someone doing something wrong on road/sidewalk/trail. Please use this link or message me your answers. I will keep them anonymous. forms.gle/aHXxjWGHiRwe...

Fun Sausalito fact. During World War 2, the population was over 30,000, more than 4 time its current 7,300 residents. www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com/sausalito-hi...

Nothing riles people up like asking them to pay for their own externalities they create by driving.

Expecting non-drivers (who are disproportionately poor and disabled) to pay for infrastructure that entrenches the very car dependency that hinders their mobility comes from a place of privilege.

You may think this is an exaggeration but the one tried and true thing you can do to get a squishy liberal to turn into a hardened reactionary is to propose removing street parking for protected bike lanes.

Obstructing bike lanes poses a large danger for bicyclists, skateboarders, scooter riders & and wheel chair users like the one shown. When a bike lane is obstructed it forces people to exit the bike lane into faster moving traffic that is not expecting them. This action has proven to be deadly…

It's not just the costs of the land and the opportunity costs for other uses or parking fees. Parking has to be maintained, regularly repaved, just like roads, which costs millions. Some people think roads & parking is just ground which somehow exists for free.

Sometimes it’s wild to remember the public, often broadly, believes things like this against a backdrop of a bankrupt highway trust fund, and massive state government use of general funds to backstop roads.

So just to get this straight: people buy cars and expect the municipal government to provide them with a convenient space within a finite streetscape to park the car. And they expect to enjoy this service free of any charge. Do I have that right?

Based on this draft network, looks like the highlighted step needs reanalyzing. Any roadway with posted speeds of 25 mph or 3k ADT is out of alignment with the referenced guidance.

Rode past a bunch of cars idling on the Embarcadero while it was room temperature outside. Must be nice to have so much money to literally burn.

I do. not. want. to know. about how delightful the weather is for cycling in California

No this is not an April Fools Day joke. No this is not AI. They really did this.

It’s a #bikesky commute Big Mac: Morning work from home, midday ride into the office, afternoon meetings, then a ride home 🍔

I find it hilarious when somebody tries to scare me on my bike by honking their horn. Do they have any clue the amount of nerve it takes to ride a bike on US streets? Lol that they think they're gonna get a rise out of me by making a noise.

I think cars can be fun and useful, but municipalities have to start enforcing laws against drivers summarily slaughtering and maiming their residents. Drivers are already the leading cause of violent death/injury in our communities, and without a serious crackdown, they'll kill/injure millions more

It’s so much worse than I could have imagined. Door zone paint only in one direction, sharrows in the other. Preserving parking was prioritized over cyclist safety.

🙌 Honestly, this is the secret weapon. Even the cheapest EV (something like the Dacia Spring) costs $135 a year to charge. And that's assuming you drive it as efficiently as possible. It's more likely going to be closer to $150 a year. In a cost of living crisis, this is how cargo bikes win out.

The City of San Diego released their Draft Bicycle Master Plan Update Network fp.mysocialpinpoint.com/sd-bikeplan let's take a look.

$1000 fine for killing a woman in a parking lot with a modified pickup truck that must be noncompliant with regulations - protruding tires for one. Shameful. Should be a hefty personal punishment and impoundment of the truck until it’s made compliant. @visionzerovancouver driving.ca/auto-news/lo...

@biketalk.bsky.social guest Asha Weinstein Agrawal made a good arguement that peak continuous power is more relevant than throttle. My take away is a high enough power assist ratio on a "pedal only" assist will act a lot like a throttle. I find throttles make starting from a intersection safer.

An ER doctor biking to work was murdered on the same highway in cold blood just a few years ago. Paint is not protection.

Nicely written. Deaths and injuries due to driving are not natural. Everything about these systems: the roads, the vehicles, the rules, enforcement ... everything about them is human engineered and we can design the dangers right out of them.

I live (literally) at the start of the new 3rd Av bike path and had to go somewhere (literally) right at the end so I just rode the whole thing end to end on a Citi Bike and JAYSUS it’s a marvel, DOT knocked this one out of the park

There should be an equally loud horn inside your car that goes off when you honk the outside one. Also speed limiters set to 65mph required in every car, like seatbelts

The absolute worst April 1 posts are government agencies joking about stuff they should actually be doing.

Maybe if we actually didn't treat non-car transport as a joke then we wouldn't be as fucked by this fuel crisis.

The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing: "NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."

This is the wrong lesson and the wrong take. The popularity should be a massive signal to municipalities that people are desperate for car alternatives. They should be carving out safe spaces for these bikes (away from cars) to make it easier and safer for people to leave the car at home.

When i was struck by a car that ran a red light the driver received a ticket for running a red light and literally nothing for sending me to the ICU for 10 days.

When cars kill, it's just the cost of doing business. When e-bikes get popular, suddenly we need strict ordinances to stop "accidents".

It's that time again! New pod recording this Tuesday at 6p ET on YouTube Live. Link below. On the agenda: 🔸 Are higher gas prices already changing travel decisions? 🔸 Why is walking in the US becoming (a little) less deadly? 🔸 Why are states subsidizing ridehail commutes?

if you honk at paratransit or school buses when they are discharging passengers double-parked because god forbid we have loading zones in this city (a thing i see/hear people do on a near-daily basis), your car should be cubed in front of you and your license should be suspended

We need this in San Diego for No Right on Red signs

In-Progress Final 4 Scores as of 3/21 - Moreno Valley is in a league of their own

Medical visit by ebike. That's a hospital across the way.

Back again.

Thank you! What to do next: 1. Ban right turn on red 2. Stripe crosswalks on all sides of intersections 3. Eliminate slip lanes 4. Narrow lanes to reduce design speeds 5. Install raised crosswalks and bulb outs 6. Additional traffic calming near schools, parks and businesses like speed humps

i was at the padres game last night and apparently there's enough money to close 3 blocks of J street and one block of 8th street for EVERY HOME GAME, but not any money to close 5th. UGH
