A sign placed sideways in a car travel lane would be inexcusable. Our database shows they’re common place for bike lanes. How bike lanes are maintained by a city sets a tone for how they feel about bicyclists.

Since 2010, pedestrian deaths in the US 🇺🇸 have increased by 80%. During that same time, pedestrian deaths in the EU 🇪🇺 have dropped by 37%, but that stat could be about to change. A new video by NJB. 👇

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

When they claim car culture is "rugged American individualism" and you remind them that free roads, subsidized gas, and mandated parking is actually just socialism for cars.

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

"...Instead of the public conversation centering on traffic safety for drivers and neighbors, everyone seems to be talking about bike lanes...a phenomenon that I call the “bike lane fig leaf,” where culture war rants about bike lanes cover up more meaningful discussions about vehicle safety. "

Trick-or-treating is fun, but don't forget a frightening reality: Halloween continues to be the most dangerous day for child pedestrians. 🎃 Avoid a Halloween Horror Story With These Road Safety Tips: www.canadianfamily.net/avoid-hallow... #TrickOrTreat #Halloween #Halloween2025 #KidsSafety

We are disappointed to learn that Councilmember Kerr has downgraded the Orange Ave Backbone bikeway from a protected bikeway to unprotected bike lanes in the door zone.

It’s pronounced cyclist.

[VICTORY ALERT] Governor Newsom has signed AB 1154, which will make it faster, cheaper, and easier to add small accessory dwelling units to existing homes. Our statement: cayimby.org/news-events/...

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

Zohran leads a RIDICULOUS pace for the Bus vs Pedestrian race on 34th St. God I love this town.

Want to open a bowling alley in Baldwin Park, CA? Too bad. With a parking mandate of 3 parking spaces per 100 square feet of building area you'll need roughly 30 parking spaces per lane.

@tomtomorrow.bsky.social @rubenbolling.bsky.social First they come for the comedians, then the cartoonist. Kings fear being laughed at. We have a funny bone to pick with/without a smile on our faces #Colbert #Kimmel #SethMeyers #DailyShow

Corporations aren’t people, money isn’t free speech, and we need to End Citizens United. Repost if you agree.

Madre Fire is currently nearly 80,000 acres and only 10% contained. 4,000 California Nat'l Guard members who could be helping on the fire lines were deployed to LA by tRump and have mostly ended up just standing around outside federal buildings. What a waste of their service!

So this is their game plan .. Pass the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP ever Then backend those cuts so they don’t take effect until Dec of 2026 The month right after the midterm elections Then lie about their being no cuts to these programs thru their teeth. Should work. It did before.

So, who’s REALLY running the country: The Heritage Foundation, or Vladimir Putin? Who?! 🤔

Thinking about reporting a news story about a flood by interviewing some anti-flood and pro-flood advocates

We spend dollars to avoid wasting pennies in free riderism. This is ideological, not rational. It is central to what's wrong with neoliberal policy.

“Highway widening is the true transportation boondoggle that is strangling budgets, fouling our air, and literally killing us.” sf.streetsblog.org/2025/06/25/c...

Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

NYC needs secure bike parking! "Black New York loves to bike, but New York doesn’t love Black people on bikes. We live in neighborhoods like Bedford-Stuyesant, Brownsville and East Flatbush where the apartments are small, stairs are steep, and doors are narrow." Yesterday in @nyc.streetsblog.org:

This is getting to the point where the Olympics could be forced out or canceled because of travel bans.

“Ranked choice” voting is what Australians call “preferential voting” and it’s been a part of our electoral system since 1918. If anyone needs a very basic explainer of how it works, this will do. Also, we have one of the most representative democracies on earth, yay to us! #auspol

Assaults on officers are up 413% since they started classifying “looked at you funny” as assault.

DJTs been nodding off in courtrooms, rallies, & funerals. It seems this repeated at the #G7 summit. There are efforts now to limit public exposure & manage visible signs of frailty. His early exit has more to do w/ that than it does the Israel-Iran conflict. PS: PM Carney’s face. 🤣 #cdnpoli

No matter what comes of the game of ping pong between the House and Senate, the reality is clear: the GOP tax cuts to the wealthy will be paid for on the backs of children, seniors, veterans and working families who need SNAP to keep food on the table.

Insurance companies as the canaries. . .

From a trusted source: Train conductor at LA Union Station made an announcement that the train would not be leaving because conductor was shot in the head by a rubber bullet on the way in. #NoKings #LosAngeles

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution
