Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Was reminded of this gem poem by Jennifer L. Knox, which you might need to spend some time with. While you're at it, raise a glass to the magic that was No Tell Motel!

The weather apps being mostly wrong lately, I got soaked through in the rain on the bike today. Luckily, I’m not made of sugar.

Dan Wickett was at the core of such a powerful community when I was in school in the Midwest in the mid-00s. He was an advocate and supporter of so many literary projects happening in the underground, and brought so many writers to audiences who needed them. It's a tough loss to measure.
