Wilson through RWood Manor/Gardens is an absolute 💩 show of aggressive drivers cutting through and families on bikes & foot trying to get to school/work.
how do we make this busy corridor safer for non 🚗 users?

the passillogical need for drivers to “get in front” of a cyclist no matter the situation is maddening
crossing the L tracks at Rockwell is a crazy space where cars routinely cross the double line to pass me or others to get to a 🛑 then another 🛑
kept pace with driver all the way to my street

it is alarming how red lights are being ignored

amazing how sensible cycling laws like Idaho Stop can’t be implemented because drivers are so accustomed to the California Roll
better to ban bikes than demand drivers live up to the contract with the DMV and society

8 Urban Arrows, 2 Cannondale long tails, and a few other cargo bikes hauling kids this AM along my roll down Leland
the 🧞♂️ is out, we can not allow this trend to stop
when you build, even middling, bike infrastructure people use it
Alders Martin, Clay, Vasquez, Hoppenworth should be commended

“I’m told to drive like this” Amazon driver in bike lane
well i lost…
“she killed her self, stupid bitch didn’t wait her turn or go around when it was safe”
why did bikes have to wait their turn but drivers don’t have to wait for a legal spot?

something about being on a bike in an urban space zipping by drivers stuck in traffic
passed Waters drop off traffic, zipped down LFT while drivers crawled down DLSD
it almost feels as if you are cheating, is that why drivers don’t like bikes?

surprise bonus… no internet service yet but not having TV and other distractions (outside of phone) has been great
going to miss the space we shared with Lily but the catastrophe has made the break less traumatic

our moving truck pulls up, we remove cones, immediately a car pulls up “is there enough room for them to work? parking is so difficult around here” parks and hops out
there are literally 5 spots available that happen to be a few doors to half a block down rather than right in front of destination

we can’t afford to not build transit efficiency, bike/ped safety infrastructure
these concerned drivers all for safe streets, but not at our/city expense
