Trains really are the highpoint of human development. There is no more elegant, relaxing way to cross large distances than in a train. The ability to look out the big windows, read a book, have meal or a drink, walk around and converse with fellow passengers is something magical.
A book and a train is a hell of a combination.

Victoria's "All ages and Abilities" network for bicycle/micro mobility lanes was mentioned in this video and I now think this is one of the best ways to describe active mobility networks. Anyone of any age or ability should be able to use* them, unlike driving were 1 in 3 people don't drive .

That sounds awesome! I don't smoke, don't dip, drink rarely, very much not over weight, but I have degenerative eye conditions. Where do I fit in? Do I get the discount or the higher premium???/
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

I'm so blessed & thankful to live in a walkable neighborhood on days like today when it's been a very rough vison day but my wife asks me to go pick up a few items from the grocery store. At my old house I would be stuck with Uber/Taxi as only option, but here I can just walk a few blocks!

I've talked about my problems reading paper books due to vision issues before. Found a signed copy of a book I have been wanting to read for a while the other day & it's hard to read. This is where my Magna Pro led magnifier saves the day giving the assistance I need in an easy to use tool!

This is a good idea. A few years ago I interviewed three year round bicycle riders to find out what they wear in the winter. Their list may differ from yours or David's but is a good start. Check it out. e-bikekc.com/2019/11/06/b...

Talking about perfect timing: Aventon launched an e-bike trade-in program last Friday. They are offering riders a $200 bonus when trading-in an e-bike, *including Rad Power Bikes*, toward a new Aventon. It appears that the trade-in credit might be able to be stacked with Black Friday deals as well

I fear KC is going to see displacement on a massive scale come World Cup as resident leases are not renewed in order to make way for short term profits.
The Kansas City Council recently changed certain rules around short-term rentals to make it easier for residents to host World Cup visitors next summer. And dozens recently attended a "crash course" to learn how they can capitalize on all those visitors by offering their own rentals.
Kansas City needs short-term rentals during the World Cup. Residents are learning how to host

While I don't agree with TV show persona Duffy on why, I do agree that people should stop wearing PJs on trains and airplanes. Not because it leads to anger & crime, but because you look stupid. Have some self respect, & respect others & the public space around you.

For all the bitching & moaning about road diets & bike lanes, something I never hear is drivers complaining about on street parking taking away traffic lanes. Case in point, Meyer Blvd is 4 kane but effectively 2 lanes due to all the parking. Also everyone here has massive driveways, why park here?

Rode the new Broadway Blvd configuration today and wow it's not even finished and already a noticeable difference in feeling of improved safety and flow. The new angled parking gave me room to ride without traffic pressure while the two way cycle track is being finished on the other side! 🚲👍
