The broken record will continue 🚲The War on Cars is over. We need to decouple our dependency on single occupancy vehicles!

Not going to sugarcoat it. Sucks to lose, but the atmosphere during pre gave and leading up to 5-6 innings was epic. Going to have to make noise where the Space Needle lives.

Simple way to avoid car companies bricking your vehicle by installing a forced software update: make sure your vehicle is a bicycle.

The future is great, huh?

It’s such a weird dynamic having to talk about compromises when it comes to prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users.

What’s more “unfair” getting a ticket multiple times for speeding or a person being injured/killed because a driver is recklessly speeding in their vehicle?

Ugh!
