The paint on a sign does not offer more protection than paint on the ground (sharrows).

It’s been discussed how these rankings put way too much weight on certain variables without context (Chicago always gets killed by the baseline 30mph speed limit, which while bad doesn’t make the city unbikeable) but also I think they use questionable public data for things like bike lane miles

If you live in Chicago, you've definitely seen people zipping around on blue Divvy bikes, and we've worked with Chicago SAFE to give you a look behind the scenes at Chicago's huge bike share system.

And we'll be working on a full-length video all about Divvy, coming out next month!

I love seeing everyone’s very weird Strava routes that are pretty clearly ICE patrols, but it might be best to not publish those to your home feed

If you need a few hours of joy in the midst of the world, Chicago, here's a great way to do it.

Saw it Friday, and it definitely started the weekend in a better place.

Now that I'm on Amtrak home, it's time for another urbanism thread - this time, on New York City! I'll cover biking, walking, and transit. 🧵

First, walkability - NYC is great to walk, and @jeffspeck.bsky.social's work basically explains why - it's fun, comfortable, and has lots of things to see!

This is a GoFundMe supporting the tamale lady taken by ICE on 21st Place and Damen in Pilsen yesterday.

“Now she’s being forced to start over in Mexico with nothing — no home, no job, and no access to the medical care she desperately needs.”
