This is your city telling you bike riders don’t matter

Two spots open for Saturday's class with registration extended to 7pm tonight (Fri May 29th). events.humanitix.com/5-and-6-year...

The horror and confusion you feel when you return to the spot and your beloved bicycle simply isn't there, as expressed by the 1-2-3 punch of actor Paul Reubens, director Tim Burton, and composer Danny Elfman. #BicycleBirthday composer Danny Elfman Born May 29, 1953 Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)

In 2014, New York City lowering the speed limit from 30 to 25 mph. In just the 1st year: Traffic fatalities fell by more than 22% Pedestrian fatalities fell by more than 25% The most dangerous drivers, those driving over 35 mph, slowed down the most. Via @transalt.org Speed is always a factor.

Looking to teach kids and neighbors how to ride a bike? @bikefun.bsky.social is hiring a part-time instructor! I've seen the joy that that Bike Fun brings to Nashville. If you're interested, this is an amazing crew to be a part of.

We need beta testers - especially Android ones. We have a beta almost ready to start pulling geo locations from Android photos again. Sign up here: airtable.com/appJdXisaPVS...

Truly chose the worst time to come back to Nashville. Here's a thread of CMA BS that will get progressively worse as the week goes on.

The only tunnel worth building in Nashville.

Baby elephants, called calfs, weigh an average of 264 pounds at birth. This makes them the biggest babies on earth other than motorists who imagine that bike riders are destroying their way of life.

We're looking to add an instructor to our crew! Position details & pay, benefits listed at www.cnemt.org/job/instruct...

Bike to Work Day is better with a few puddles! @nashvillediary.bsky.social @bikefun.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social

Soggy but good spirits at Bike To Work Day #itsthehumidity Thanks @bikefun.bsky.social @nashvilledot.bsky.social

It's why I fervently agree with @transittrekker.bsky.social and @nondriver.bsky.social that transit agency governing bodies need *actual full-time transit riders* on their boards. It's why modal advisory boards are important to serve on even if their cities only listen half of the time.

No class today over at East Park - weather is not cooperating with our needs! Hopefully rescheduling for a future date.

Wednesday! Forecast looks good for the ride portion. RSVP to get a lunch for free www.eventbrite.com/e/group-bike...

Tuesday! Get tasty food from Mitchell Deli in Inglewood + support our programming at the same time. (Gift cards count if purchased with another item!)

By virtually any measure, ebikes are less resource-intensive than cars (which doesn't mean we should be uncritical of how minerals are sourced or that we shouldn't seek methods that are better for the planet & people!) but for some reason ebike use, unlike car use, has to be justified at every turn.

Support local biz + nonprofit partners Tues 5/19 when you fill your belly with a delicious donation to Bike Fun. Thanks to our community partner Mitchell Deli for the giveback opportunity!

Anyway we should build more greenways in Nashville. @walkbikenashville.bsky.social @angienashville.bsky.social @metroparksnash.bsky.social @freddieoconnell.bsky.social

We'd prefer to see traffic management to clear motors out of residential streets as the first step, but sometimes traffic calming is needed. The humble road hump has its place, but a sinusoidal profile is the go-to arrangement to ensure they are as smooth as possible to cycle over. #FridayFun

What a BLAST at today's Pedal the Park! 32 riders, 5 bikes requested, plus bonus post-greenway ride from our ride leader Henry. Happy Bike Month!

We're 1 account away from 14,000

Every car in your city represents $8-12K/year being sucked out of your local economy instead of being spent on housing, goods & services. I wish more parking-obsessed retailers & elected officials understood this. #WindshieldBias #CarBlindness

Here, a friend demonstrates that attaching a bicycle stand to block paving has some pitfalls.

Light up the streets my friend! You will be seen and safe out on your bike It may seem bright at night but it’s this way so it remains effective during daylight.

Wesley Marshall (@wesmars.bsky.social) and Norman Garrick: “All three of the fundamental measures of a street network – street connectivity, street network density, and street patterns – are highly significant and associated with influencing the choice to drive, walk, bike, or take transit.”

"Kids learn how to share. Why don't drivers know how to share?" "You have to learn how to be patient when you're a kid. How come drivers aren't patient?" -biking thoughts from a 6-year-old

As a slogan, “Safety First” began 115 years ago as an effort to deflect blame from dangerous conditions onto careless people – including the hapless Otto Nobetter. Today the situation has changed – but strategies are the same. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjdl...

Anyone live in a place where Vision Zero effectively replaced and slowed the progress on installing a network of bike facilities?
