Happy Worldwide Sustainable Transport Day!

Every time you cycle, you're planting the seed in someone's mind "Hey, I think I could do that."

To advocates of streets with safer designs for hauling sustainably: Thank you!

Flatbed - a new three wheel cargo electric cycle from Ouca. (makers of Kiddiebus)

Flatbed primarily designed for a factory or warehouse, but I definitely also envision first-mile and last-mile delivery and pickup.

Want to have cycling and pedestrian symbols always be seen, even after snow falls? Use light projectors.

A homeowner in Aurora, Colorado installed $30,000 of concrete barrier after two separate crashes damaging their property. Then the wall was hit by a third driver.

Five total house crashes, within 2 blocks, "in the past year"

A thrifty, open-source solution for calming traffic:

* Paint hand cart with bright colors.
* (optional) apply clear reflective spray paint.
* Place a concrete block on the cart and roll it into position where you want to calm traffic.

When the buffer on a U.S. curb-protected bike lane is red, what should it be called?

One person moving in a multi-ton metal box gets $9,000, and one person moving on an efficient micromobility device gets $225. Electric cars do not solve for congestion, storage, sedentary lifestyle, injury/death due to crashes. The battery in ONE gaint electric SUV could power hundreds of e-bikes.

Air pollution from an hour of a gasoline lawn mower is about the same emissions as a 100-mile vehicle ride, according to a study, which recommended mowers have catalytic converters.

From 2001. Largely ignored for 24 years.

How did a RAM van chassis make it through the design process to production without someone saying to a designer, "Hey, did you know that part of the vehicle obstructs view of the side mirror?"

Example #986 why micromobility lanes need bollards to keep the sharks out of the pool that has kids and adults.

TYSM to the driver who told us to “be safe!” after he drove toward us on the sidewalk level bikeway.

1st Ave S is closed to cars due to construction but this driver decided the sidewalk level bikeway was a good work around.

Delineators and flashing yellow strobes ( RRFB ) are new at a Billings, MT intersection.

However, crossing guard Linda Walton is reaching a patience breaking point. Her bodycam shows some drivers still aren't slowing down.
