As someone who has a permanent injury from being doored, I find fault with authorities who prioritize parking for car owners above dedicated lanes for cycling more than I do the loser who hit me with his door.

Based.

OK, hang on this gets better. Bow Mar gets their emergency services from Littleton and Columbine Valley @kylec.bsky.social @spencersoicher.bsky.social townofbowmar.org/services

Geometric illiteracy strikes again. Lots of big boxes with wheels in a limited space means no more space. No amount of "good" driving changes that. Bone heads, man.

Imagine how these people react if they don't get free parking in Denver

Really amazing when compared to previous statements made by FDNY. All FDs should talk like this.

Cars are weapons www.9news.com/article/news...

We just handed the Broncos millions of dollars basically. For infrastructure around the stadium yes, but let's be honest, our most recent bond was because they threatened to go to the suburbs.

We just had a hail storm in Denver that ended not that long ago and I just got a cold call from a roofer 😕

This is a real loss for Denver. Hoping for her future health.

Yesterday we saw this car flipped on our walk home from the park. This is a quiet neighborhood street. I can’t imagine how fast and reckless this person must have been driving. I really want more diverters on neighborhood streets.

This is why I don't have a ton of patience for the "If cyclists would just behave" arguments that some use to explain opposition to bike infrastructure and other policies to keep people on bikes safe. Just seeing people riding on the road is enough to drive some people mad.

"No one uses the South Broadway bike lane, it's always empty."

Globally, car culture claims 3,500 lives a day. Yet our moral panic is spent on ebikes, people riding on sidewalks to stay safe, and pedestrians wearing dark clothing or wearing headphones. We have normalized mass casualties while villainizing people just trying to exist outside of a vehicle.

I am very frustrated at the well-meaning but apparently unpersuaded people who say, "There is no e-moto/e-scooter problem! That's made up to distract from the problem of cars!"

I keep thinking about all those times at community meetings they've defended the need to always "listen to the community" when anti-mobility sentiment is almost always rooted in hatred

"I'm going to live here for the next 75" Excellent!

alright this guy absolutely has scrambled eggs for brains

It must suck to be a MAGA believer. Cities are scary. Vegans threaten your way of life. Trans folks exist to force you to accept their ideology. Immigrants have sunk the economy. Wokeism tries to make you feel guilty about discrimination. Haughty scientists say petroleum is bad and vaccines are good

"In an extreme example in February, police in Santa Ana, California, said a man threw a bicycle at a car in traffic, damaging its hood." Uh huh, and what happened to lead up to this I wonder? www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The Pedestrian Dignity Zine is so close to their funding goal. Help out if you can! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

USA Today decided to examine why drivers are killing cyclists and landed on a terrible Both Sides framing. We even have an avid cyclist appearance. This is a horrifically bad way to cover traffic violence. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The @nytimes.com is whitewashing mass murder again. "An SUV drove into the crowd." No, the SUV didn't drive. Someone drove it. And don't get me started about the journalistic abuse of the word "tragedy." That word had a meaning once. @nateschweber.bsky.social

T-shirt worthy. And every city should make their own version. "If you're here to complain about Denver bike infrastructure, I hope you have a really bad day"

Grumpy that the message around the need for LWB to be accessible for disabled people -- and how that access is actually *increased* when the road is closed to cars -- didn't make the news coverage.

"fact checker" in the bio. WTAF!?

Drivers will really call bikes toys that don't belong on the road, then use the empty interstate at night as their own personal drag strip for hours on end, disturbing the sleep of hundreds of local residents. Car brain is a disease that is not compatible with a civilized society.

This is actually a good argument for pro-bike/pro-transit/pro-public space mayors to really double down on their policies. If they're going to accuse you of waging a war on cars if you take a small handful of parking spaces to improve your city, you might as well take a whole lot more.

When I drive I notice the subtle things operating my car does to my brain. Windshield bias creeps in so easily. It's why I want my decision makers on a bike not just spouting theory.

Community member accesses road to protest lack of road access.

Instruction manual for listening to NIMBYs

The phrase “Jews will not replace us” is a longtime antisemitic, white supremacist phrase. Disgusting. www.brandeis.edu/jewish-exper...

About time we realize how insane some NIMBYs are. It's not just "neighborhood concern". It's OK to not listen to some people and to actively discount them as well.

Sometimes reddit has some bangers

There has been a lot of controversy in my DC neighborhood about a project to remove a median to make room for concrete barriers to protect the bike lane. The drivers complain that there will be head-on collisions now that they are only separated by paint. They fail to see the irony.

Strange how so many will shame people on bikes for not wearing helmets yet don’t have much to say about bike lanes without protection. Via @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

“Those were the three fronts of their attack: social norms (who belongs in the street?), laws (who has legal priority in the street?) and engineering (how do we build to make driving work even in a city?). On all three fronts they did their best to make sure that the automobile came out on top.”

I read (and enjoyed) all the quote tweets about this post/story, but I still don't think most rational transit-oriented folks understand how the typical driver is completely ignorant and off-base regarding free and subsidized parking. Talking to norms about this is worse than bike lanes IMO.

Two different deliveries done within a block of each other even though there was a protected bike lane. It is possible despite what the haters will tell you.

Not once has a carbrain ever written the words "not everyone can ride a rocket ship into space" when literally only one in a billion humans can do so, but they'll gladly write those words about bicycles, which are, by far, the most common form of human transport on earth.

Try this instead: "Colfax BRT will be transformational for the corridor, once construction ends and the system begins operating as BRT, we'll have a great opportunity to evaluate its effectiveness. Until then we'll let the experts continue their work." Why is this so hard?

This dude has been given every opportunity to learn and understand bus rapid transit and transportation in general and yet he chooses to be wilfully ignorant. Fucking maddening how dense he is on things that affect Denverites day to day movement. denverite.com/2026/05/22/d...

Remember, don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth
