We shouldn’t have to police our bike lanes. We need to design them so cars can’t access them, period.

Hell yes. Now we can finally put up "Motorist Dismount" signs and force drivers to exit their trucks and slowly walk them through mixed-use zones, exactly like cities constantly force people on bikes to do.

A macho culture of performative selfishness might start on the roads, through racing, rolling coal, ever bigger SUVs ... But it doesn't end there. If we want to live in a decent country which values human life, we need to change this culture. My column.

In towns and in the countryside, I see 4x4s and pick up trucks driven without care or consicence. It’s a Magafication of transport, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I love this for New York. Can we have it in CLT?
Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat?
We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

Speeding doesn't actually save you meaningful time. All it really accomplishes is aggressively increasing the chances that you kill yourself or someone else outside your vehicle. It's a mathematically flawed, entirely selfish risk.

Your Mayor could also treat every traffic death in your city as a preventable tragedy and try to prevent future occurrences.
Try to build safe public spaces so that people want to go out without a car. And allow people who can't drive to still get around.

No New Yorker should lose their life just trying to get around our city. We refuse to accept preventable tragedy as an inevitable part of living in New York.
That's why we’ve announced more than 100 policies to make our streets safer over the next 10 years.

I am in the process of moving to my new apartment. I am driving my car packed full of stuff. I know that because I choose to use a car for its maximum load capabilities - not for its speed - I am not in a rush.
I am slow, safe, and cautious around all the other road users.

Racism is NOT the problem of non-white people.
It is 100% a WHITE PPL problem to be FIXED.
When white ppl lack any response, the racist brain is left to believe all white faces agree.
Speak up every opportunity when witnessing racism.
Walking away isn't enough. Fix the ignorance.

"A car ran the light at the crossing right in front of me. I'm not against cars, but the automobile community has to deal with these irresponsible drivers." No one writes posts like this. It's only ever about cyclists, or scooter users.
What is this "irresponsible cycling community" and who issues the membership cards? Is there a community of irresponsible drivers?
No one is disputing that it's annoying and sometimes dangerous for a cyclist to ride on a sidewalk. What people are taking issue with is collective blame.

Can't keep up with the irresponsible cycling community I've provoked but just to note, one of the cyclists that nearly ran into me did run into the bloke walking behind, thankfully not full on. So take some responsibility.

When people ask about what exercise I get from my ebike I always say “more than I’d get sitting in a car.” For kids, bikes and e-bikes are also freedom and independence!

I bring this up because WBUR just did an interview with this bike shop owner and they had a long discussion about how we're in an obesity epidemic and why can't kids just pedal their bikes???
I remain infuriated at the limit being 18 because kids can fucking drive cars at age 16.

Thanks. We will have a meeting of all the cyclists to discuss this.
Apparently asking cyclists to obey rules means you don't care if cars break them. No, it means an increasing number of cyclists are behaving increasingly dangerously, and two wrongs do not make a right.
