Oh, & #SanFrancisco Bookshop West Portal also had a signed copy of @thewaroncars.bsky.social's LIFE AFTER CARS, so I got a fiction-nonfiction two-step in my two-wheel shopping outing today, @sgoodyear.bsky.social, @brooklynspoke.bsky.social! @sunsetdunes.org

Stopped into Hey Books! in San Diego and they had LIFE AFTER CARS in the window! They’ll be supplying books for our event here at the Adams Avenue Theater Sunday evening.

@thewaroncars.bsky.social hahaha

And how much Transportation is hidden in the other categories? What portion of Housing costs is the garage under your apartment building? What portion of Food is the sea of parking surrounding the supermarket? What portion of Healthcare is car-related injury and respiratory disease?

Oh hey we know that dude! 😀❤️🚲

As we were sitting in San Diego’s Balboa Park doing an interview with KPBS someone came by on a bike and recognized us. Turns out Aidan is a listener and supporter – note the water bottle – and was just wrapping up a cross-country bike ride! What an awesome coincidence.

Pauline Kael, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social RIP

If you get a chance to go to one of their events, do it. It’s just like how the podcast validates you, it’s a moment to find solace in a room where everyone agrees with you, you don’t need to debate how we can make our world better. Now I’m wondering if we need a Church of the War on Cars.

New LIFE AFTER CARS live show outfit just dropped.

San Diego! We’re headed to you next for a LIFE AFTER CARS live event this Sunday at the Adams Avenue Theater. Tickets are still available. See you there!

Meanwhile in Egypt ... www.cnn.com/travel/egypt...

Trump admin Is attempting to massive cut federal transit funds, seeking to: 1–Eliminate transit account, which funds billions of $ in capital expenses for transit agencies 2–Prevent state DOTs from “flexing” funds for transit These changes, if they occurred, would be devastating for US transit.

loved producing this one! for your weekend listening consideration.

“These two are carrying so much weight on their shoulders as high-ranking generals in the War on Cars, and they do it with what I think is just the right balance of activism and pragmatism. They’re what I like to think of as reasonable radicals.”

This was such a cool moment.

Was so cool having them in the Shed! Don't miss this highlight reel from our conversation.

The “War on Cars” is coming to car-centric San Diego The creators of the "War on Cars" podcast and authors of "Life After Cars" are promoting a vision for San Diego that reduces car dependency. They advocate for alternative transportation, emphasizing i…

Grab a spot on the couch and join Life After Cars co-authors Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon, and I for a chat in the Shed. It's a great intro to their book and the important work they're doing! youtu.be/dfJmSIY1sDc

Randall Munroe, welcome to The War on Cars.

I've been thinking for a long time about the parallels between the early days of cars and the early days of consumer-facing AI tools like chatbots, so I finally wrote about it. Shoutout to @thewaroncars.bsky.social. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

We were on @kuow.org in Seattle talking about LIFE AFTER CARS. Take a listen!

Also goes to show that even normies who don’t spend their time in livable streets circles are actually pretty tired of their lives being dominated by cars.

Me: I went to a book release event last night. Coworker 1: What book? Me, unsure how they’ll take it: Uhhh it’s called “Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile” Coworker 1: God I wish we could do that. Coworker 2: that book sounds rad. Me: <relieved>

I'll be there. Really looking forward to this

San Diego! We’re headed to you next for a LIFE AFTER CARS live event this Sunday at the Adams Avenue Theater. Tickets are still available. See you there!

Our friend Becky @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social is a superfan of the @thewaroncars.bsky.social. Becky made a special #WarOnCars comic for @sgoodyear.bsky.social + @brooklynspoke.bsky.social when they visited Portland Bike Happy Hour. @jonathanmaus.bsky.social took the photos

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking. Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

4 people radicalized by parenting. Last night's Life After Cars book talk at Powell's was another evening of church. Not surprising, "Cars Ruin Childhood" is my favorite chapter bc of the effectiveness of kids' voices and subversive joy. @thewaroncars.bsky.social @coachbalto.bsky.social

This episode should be required listening for anyone who has ever said, "America has always been this way!" with regard to car dependency. People in the early 20th century recognized the danger of cars but the auto industry fought hard to build infrastructure and develop policies that drove sales.

They market their cars as weapons and we allow them on the same roads as children cycling to school. And I still get weird middle-aged men in my notifications obfuscating for and defending this. This is not a serious society.

What a night at @powells.bsky.social in front of a sold-out crowd! Thank you, Portland!

A wonderful night with one of the OG journalists covering the battle for human streets. An honor and a privilege to sit with @bikeportland.org in all its glory. Thanks so much for the opportunity, Jonathan!

We were on KATU, Portland's ABC affiliate, this afternoon talking about Life After Cars and some of what we've been inspired by during our time here and on tour.

Pretty cool! See you tonight, Portland, at @powells.bsky.social.

Have a listen!! (or read a few excerpts)

This was a blast! So many cool people and we are huge fans of Jonathan and all he does for the community of advocates and the movement in Portland.

When your library hold comes in just in time to pick up before your 10-hour Amtrak ride. 🚆 @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Tonight! Portland, OR... see you at @powells.bsky.social at 7 PM.

Feel like a train is the appropriate place to enjoy "Life After Cars" by @sgoodyear.bsky.social and @brooklynspoke.bsky.social . Really an eye-opening read.

See you tonight!

I'll see you there!

Tonight! Portland, OR... see you at @powells.bsky.social at 7 PM.

Team Portland turnt up! Thanks to @bikeportland for bringing all our people to Bike Happy Hour. It felt like homecoming for transportation nerds. It was an overdue joy meet Doug and Sarah of @thewaroncars.bsky.social!

An interesting read for drivers stinking around at the traffic light in Germany @thewaroncars.bsky.social ! Thanks so much for the stickers!

This week I wrote about the rise of the e-bike dad - this piece was originally going to run alongside the story I did in September about the bike boom in general, and we didn't have space in print, but here it is: www.economist.com/united-state...

Driving in traffic is a dull and unpleasant chore and the only way Americans can escape having to do it all the time is by moving to one of three very expensive cities. This is bad and we should fix it.

Our 7yo was a little needy earlier tonight. Cuddles and reading helped. My choice: Life After Cars ( @thewaroncars.bsky.social ) Their choice: Who Would Win: Killer Whale Vs. Great White Shark

If you’re not already angry about what the car companies have taken from us, this episode should do it.
