The social media platform wars are uniquely weird for people who prefer to live our lives outside of cars, because no matter where we turn, everyone thinks they have the legal right to kill us, and remind us of this constantly.
This one resonates with me the most. Especially after some of my politicians wring their hands everytime someone claims they weren't consulted.
The quickest way to getting nothing done is to allow goal post moving and consensus chasing.
This is beyond problematic.

I love it when there is stuff making it clear to drivers where the parking is not
I've heard the line about the driver "moving into the bike lane to control the intersection" and this is such car-brained bullshit. Bike lanes should never be merge zones and the justification that they are making everyone safer by obstructing them is painfully stupid and outdated.
Stuff like this is infuriating. The Encinitas Mayor just spouting nonsense as justification would send me over the top.
Right hooks are not when cyclists plow into drivers it's when a driver cuts across a lane and doesn't yield. They are ripping out a bike lane. A very nice looking lane. Madness.

This is true. Except in Denver right now where it apparently doesn't snow in winter anymore. This year is so weird.
I like "Don't be MAGA". It should apply to everyone even if not traveling to Canada 😂
The words you're looking for are "infection vector"
They don't get to turn in front of a cyclist even if they "had they turn blinkers on". Drivers license retests for anyone who posts this kind of bad take.
Looks like there is actually snow!
The more contact points that don't align with the actual size and shape of a bicycle the better!
Then there is the category of artsy bike racks. These are great if you want to spend a lot of extra budget to install something that makes a visual statement without actually helping the people who would use it.
Denver has provided over half of the city’s 90,000 students with a MY Denver Card, which is funded by Denver tax dollars approved in a 2012 ballot measure.
Says foot traffic would get cut in half by a road diet?!

Winning!
1. Bring back no turns on red. 1970s gas crisis is over (remove state rule mandating signs at every intersection, it's malicious legislation)
2. Introduce raised intersections
3. Connect protected bike lanes to others. Neighborhood bikeways are being incorrectly used as political dodges
If I can find the pieces of my keyboard I snapped in two maybe I'll do a level headed thread about this later but right now, here is a live look at Mayor Johnston's most recent @citycastdenver.bsky.social appearance

One of my favorite parts of the Chronicle is the "Editorial Board" is just Charles yelling at people to get off his lawn basically
