Mineral Belt Trail, Leadville Colorado. E-biking and leaf peeping at 10,000 ft

16% percent of downtown is surface parking lots. That doesn't include curb parking and parking garages. Tell me again how it is hard to park downtown. denvercpd.konveio.com/downtown-are...

Sometimes it seems like people will do anything but build safe streets. Radar?! Really? www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

🚨🚨 If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be: "the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute." BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE 🚨🚨

Denver recently implemented a fee passed by votes to make sidewalks the city’s responsibility. The project and funding started just this year!

No. www.theverge.com/news/780757/...

Biking through a city at night can sometimes be a spiritual experience. The glow of traffic lights. The reflections on wet pavement. You notice everything but no one really notices you. It’s perfect.

This is me when our mayor makes really dumb decisions and the comms team has to contort themselves into knots trying to justify it

New research finds that 1 in 5 drivers near school zones is distracted. Most were using their phones; some were fiddling with their cars' infotainment systems. Drivers of big SUVs and pickups were more prone to be distracted. doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

will the absence of universal health care in the US mark the moment its citizens notice how far their continent has fallen behind?

“In fact, the average driver saves just 26 seconds per day by speeding.” www.cpr.org/2025/08/31/c...

I realize it's a broad generalization, but I keep thinking about how much 21st century urbanism is about undoing mid-20th century planning.

"...crash data and observational studies from around the country found asphalt art actually improves safety, by making crosswalks more visible to drivers. As it happens, six of the seventeen intersections in the study were in Florida, which has the nation’s fourth-highest pedestrian fatality rate."

I've been riding on Paris' transit system and I don't think I've waited more than 6 minutes for a ride. Metro transfers also blowing my mind. Transit in the US is so unbelievably bad.

Paris is beautiful. Transit is great. The new protected bike lanes are very nice. But you Parisians ride bikes like psychopaths. It's like someone lit every cyclist on fire and they're trying to put it out by riding. The transition from protected lanes to YOLO intersections probably doesn't help.

Cities need ambitious plans for pedestrianization. Whichever American cities figure it out will have huge advantages from the increase in creativity, productivity and happiness.

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

Look at the size of these f***ing bike lanes

Peer reviewed studies also show us that bike lanes do not cause gentrification www.dropbox.com/s/bhcuksoqk2...

Raised intersections are good. Design manuals which are too afraid of these are weak.

For my bike/pedestrian #advocacy friends: here's a great opportunity to tell USDOT directly to prioritize our issues! Feel free to share: bikewalkkc.org/blog/2025/08...

It is possible to retain some of the old and continue moving into the future. NIMBYs couldn't imagine this but it is possible.

I genuinely think Denver's leaders have never experienced this or they have and they do not understand the implication In the worst cases they understand and do not care

In London. Walked through an area last night that was bustling. Small restaurant after small restaurant. Pubs, shops, & people on the street The small footprint & density of places meant so much choice. Low traffic volume meant people were walking & hanging outside. You could hear human interaction

Ruined the neighborhood character with these flex posts smh /s

Bus bypasses and cycle tracks this is what my vacation camera roll looks like.

I can't see over these bollards Mayor they're blocking everything.

A major way we avoid talking to another human being is by driving cars.

View of cargo bikes parked on the side of the elementary school playground for first day of school drop off. You love to see it.

We are thinking of Denver City employees right now. Thank you all for the work you do.

Reddit being correct

While Denver’s budget situation is about to result in layoffs, the city wants voter approval for the long-term debt needed to take on some big, and in many cases needed, city-wide projects. As a Denver voter who is also an employee who might be getting laid off, it’s all such an incredible mess. 😕

@wesmars.bsky.social and @davidzipper.bsky.social have a podcast. In true Wes form I'm not sure he told anyone 😂

I got to experience Summer Streets last weekend. That was fun. Everywhere should do stuff like this more often.

I rode a bike on Broadway today and it was pretty rad.

Bureaucracy is so gross. The ghost bike is on the outside of a signal pole near the curb. The ADA curb cuts are on either side and prevent anyone from using this area as sidewalk not that anyone would as this is directly next to a fast flowing arterial. Excellent use of your time DOTI.

Denver's Executive Director trying to spin why we are decreasing the amount of bike lanes built

Tonight riders gathered to remember Alexis Bounds killed by a driver in 2019 and to highlight riders like Salih Koç recently killed on Denver's streets in preventable crashes.

Thank you to our Bike Mayor Ben Shpurker for speaking at the Alexis Bound Memorial ride tonight. #BikeDen

Andy Singer drew this. I like it.

This might be the first time I vote no on a Denver bond. Mayor Johnston's administration continues to ignore true mobility projects and ignores the community. Shame.

When NIMBYs make websites your friends make better ones safer-alameda.com

Today I had a driver give me the "Sorry I almost killed you!" wave after nearly turning left into me and my friend. Of all the things drivers do, the oopsy wave is among the most infuriating to me because it completely diminishes the potentially life-altering implications of their recklessness.

The upcoming Denver bond has some suspiciously timed additions that clearly benefit the Broncos and their new stadium plans. Rather than give them a handout we should ask for more urgent projects to be funded. A friend made this page you can use to sign the petition www.stop-the-broncos-bond.com

Jeff's normalization of riding his bike while doing his job is incredibly awesome www.denver7.com/about/commun...
