.The California Coast demands 1:1 replacement of car parking spots but doesn't raise a peep about cancellation of bus service to the beaches. The last east-west bus from poorer inland communities to Manhattan Beach Pier area was cut then cancelled

When you drive to an Earth Day festival your SUV is allowed in bike and bus lanes. It’s your special treat for thinking about the environment one day a year.

Crypto mining uses enough energy to power small countries. If we kill this planet at least we’ll leave a real mystery for future anthropologists to unravel how we did it.

Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/HillaryClinton…

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via Treehugger.com treehugger.com/e-bikers-ride-…

Legit question: Why do folks who drive choose to patiently sit in their cars for 10-30 minutes to get coffee or burgers lose their shit if a bike rider delays them for five seconds? Why is one a desirable lifestyle choice and the other an infuriating infringement of liberty?

I just want to live in a city that does normal city things so I can have hobbies other than going to City Council Meetings to beg them not to do stupid or illegal things

Road design: Our DOTs design roads for maximum car throughput and prioritize this over every other consideration including the mobility, health, safety and lives of people. Including people in cars. Simply inverting this priority: human life>LOS would revolutionize road safety.

The Economist just published a deeply-researched story about car bloat, and it's very, very damning: "For every life that the heaviest 1% of SUVs and trucks save, there are more than a dozen lives lost in other vehicles." Well worth your time: economist.com/interactive/un…

Reality: US cities are full of drivers going 15mph over the speed limit while playing with phones in 5000lb vehicles with illegal tinted glass. Police: Let's ticket cyclists going 1mph over a little known speed limit on a mixed use trail.

“What about all the cars? And where will we park?!?” One of the biggest elephants in the room in every North American downtown is the flawed assumption that prioritizing cars over people fuels downtown success. Read Brent Toderian & Downtown Sacramento Partnership tackling that mistake head on!

Reminder that the ONLY way to reduce traffic is for people to drive less. Electric and self-driving cars won't reduce traffic. Widening highways won't reduce traffic. Removing bike lanes won't reduce traffic. Allowing people to drive fast won't reduce traffic.

This trope is so tired but dudes like Michael think they just won 4-D chess. Guy is so inured to all the subsidies and entitlements he enjoys as a driver that he can't see the deadbeat in the mirror.
