PDX: a friend is planning to buy a fairly expensive ($900) road bike, and lock it behind his house. It will be locked to something solid, but this is a very bad idea, right? It’s just a matter of time before it gets stolen, right? Bike Index

I wonder if the car industry knows that when motorists kill pedestrians, that's good for selling cars, just as mass shootings have proven to be good for selling guns. To be a pedestrian in a car dominated place is to be constantly reminded that everyone but you is armed.

Oh, no big deal, it’s just that it’s my first day as part of the Partnerships team at my favorite app on the entire planet Transit?! I’m definitely keeping it together over here…

Things we know (but are always helpful to see reinforced): 1. Speeding is the top reason for traffic fatalities 2. Reducing speeds requires street redesign 3. Reducing the number of lanes (this is a 4-3 conversion) can reduce speeding and improve safety.

Dear transpo reporters: I would read the shit out of an article about the operations/comms ways transit agencies are trying to manage the Taylor Swift transit demand spike. I want details! Added runs? Targeted social media? Please spill! amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/06/22…

How excited am I about this? If you're a transit advocate, Transit wants to talk to you! We're cooking up some ideas to help transit riders understand how to speak up for transit. Please DM me if you'd like to chat.
